In a candid interview, Eilish revealed that she is “attracted to women” and expressed surprise that it wasn't already obvious. “No, I didn't. But I thought for a moment, 'Isn't that obvious?' I didn’t know people didn’t know,” the 21-year-old singer said. Eilish highlighted her hesitation about the concept of “coming out,” and she said, “I'm like, 'Why can't we just exist?'” she said. I've been doing this for a long time and I just didn't talk about it. Oops. ”

According to recent reports, the day after her red carpet interview, she reportedly lost 40,428 followers. .
Eilish said with a mixture of surprise and relief: Yeah, nice. “Despite the unexpected reveal, she felt excited for people to know more about her real self. “But it's nice that they know. Oh, to tell it. I’m nervous! But… I’m on the side of the girls,” she added.
Eilish referenced Variety's report in a previous Instagram post, thanking the magazine for the award but expressing frustration at being “outed” on the red carpet. Alongside a series of images, she said: “Variety magazine, thank you for accepting my award and also for taking me out on the red carpet at 11 a.m. instead of talking about other important things. I like boys and girls, for that matter. Leave me alone. Literally, who cares? Stream “What Was I Made For.” ”
