Billie Eilish delivered a beautiful opening performance at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards, taking over the crowd with a rendition of “Wildflower.” Eilish took center stage alongside her brother Finneas.

The audience seemed charmed by the performance, with many flashing phone lights, adding a dreamlike quality to the moment. As the song continued, its emotional intensity swelled, with the chorus resonating deeply among the crowd.
