Billie Eilish Captures Her Growth in New Vanity Fair Interview
This year’s interview features a truly mature Billie Eilish who sits in her power as a multi-platinum, Oscar, and seven-time Grammy-winning artist.
Eilish made a strong entrance into the music industry with her viral hit “Ocean Eyes” at the ripe age of 15. Since then, she has successfully embarked on her journey to stardom with countless projects and hits.
Eilish has been featured in six insightful Vanity Fair interviews, which gives fans insight into the pop star’s mind. Each year she answers the same questions she was asked in previous Vanity Fair interviews. She also rewatches these past videos to reflect on her answers and see how her responses have changed. These videos give a fun introspective twist to the usually intrusive sit-down interviews celebrities usually partake in.
At the beginning of her breakout success in 2017, she sat down with Vanity Fair to answer questions that revealed her social standing at the time. In this first-ever interview of the series, Eilish revealed she had 257,000 Instagram followers, and her biggest performance held a crowd of 500 people. In her 2018 interview, she jumped to 6.3 million Instagram followers and a crowd of 40,000 people.
Fast-forward to 2022, Eilish traded in her relatable but distinctly teenage answers for responses that reflect her growth into adulthood. Her answers this year heavily reflected on her youth, success, and shift in happiness/mindset. She now has 106 million Instagram followers and has completed her first full world tour and headlined Coachella. It is safe to say that Eilish is truly Happier Than Ever. The energy in this interview radiates nothing less than a young woman grateful to share her beautiful talent with the world.
These interviews are not only a time capsule for her achievements, but also Eilish’s fantastic hair transformations. Almost every year she sports a different hair-do which coincides with her identity that year.
In her first year of fame, fans met her with a purple-gray half-up half-down hairstyle. Since then, she has changed her hair to blue, green, black ombre, and blonde, and now she rocks a jet-black shoulder-length bob with a bang cut. Fans on Twitter have noted how amazing it is that Eilish can pull off any color and gushed over her new stunning black hair.

However, Eilish shocked fans after posting to her Instagram story that this would be her last Vanity Fair interview for several years. She stated that she will continue to record the interviews each year but will hold and release them every few years. Fans weighed in on the decision with hilarious gifs on Twitter.
