00:00 "Don't expect 3 hour concerts from Billie Eilish anytime soon."
00:04 While answering fan questions live following the release of her third album, Hit Me Hard
00:08 and Soft, the Grammy and Oscar winner was asked if she would ever perform a three-hour
00:13 long show, similar to what Taylor Swift and Beyonce have done for their tours.
00:18 Eilish responded bluntly, "I'm not doing a three-hour show.
00:20 That's literally psychotic."
00:22 Eilish was answering the questions on the music app Stationhead, where she went on to
00:26 say, "Nobody wants that.
00:27 You guys don't want that.
00:28 I don't want that.
00:29 I don't even want that as a fan.
00:30 My favorite artists in the world, I'm not trying to hear them for three hours."
00:34 While Eilish didn't direct her comments at a particular artist, some Swifties questioned
00:38 if she was throwing shade at Swift, whose heiress tour runs more than three hours.
00:43 However, Eilish has previously praised Swift and Beyonce for their ability to perform long
00:48 shows.
00:49 While speaking to the Los Angeles Times in October of 2023, Eilish said, "Beyonce and
00:54 Taylor Swift are untouchable superstars.
00:57 The fact that they can put on a show that long, and it's filled with so many incredible
01:00 moments is really amazing."
01:02 The singer also noted in her live Q&A that she won't be performing every song off of
01:06 her new album for her tour because the show would be "like a million years long" due
01:11 to popular tracks from her previous albums that she plans to perform.
