He may be one of music’s biggest stars, but even Billie Eilish isn’t immune to ghosting.
The American artist, 22, appeared on the BBC podcast Miss Me? She said she had “a crazy ghost thing happen” last year, adding: “It was crazy.”
Ghosting – For the uninitiated – A friend or romantic prospect suddenly cuts off all communication with you without explanation.
The What Was I Made For singer said she struggled to maintain friendships when she first found fame.
Eilish was just 14 when she released her first single, Ocean Eyes. Since then, he has achieved global stardom, winning numerous awards along the way.
Speaking to Lily Allen and Mikita Oliver, Eilish said: “I’m definitely blown away.”
The incident took place last December, he said, adding that it was “unbelievable. Till date, [he] Never texted me again.”
“I was like, are you dead? Are you really dead?” she said.
“I’ve known for years and had a plan, that day, on the phone, I made a plan, this is my address, be there at 3pm – never heard from him again. I couldn’t. I couldn’t believe it.”
Elish said she later saw him dating someone else.
“I was like, ‘Oh.’ But I didn’t know people did that yet. I honestly didn’t know people did that.”
The singer-songwriter’s third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, was released last month.
Earlier this year, Barbie wrote for the soundtrack What’s I Made For? He and his brother and collaborator Phineas O’Connell won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song.
