…Speaking of talented young vocalists, Olivia should definitely seek guidance from the team handling the 16-year-old prodigy Billie Eilish. I had the fortune of witnessing Billie’s performance in a stripped-down, acoustic setting in a church at SXSW earlier this year, but I hadn’t seen her unleash her full energy for an enthusiastic crowd until the Outside Lands festival.

Despite nursing an injured foot sustained earlier in the week, Billie fearlessly navigated the stage, rallying the crowd and keeping the energy high.

As I observed and captured the performance from the audience, I found myself surrounded by young woмen adorned with paper crowns, proudly displaying their loyalty to their queen.

The individuals responsible for distributing the crowns before Billie’s performance deserve recognition for a clever marketing move, seamlessly tying it in with her new single, ‘You Should See Me In A Crown.’

While the spotlight was primarily on Billie, she graciously allowed her equally talented brother, Finneas, to showcase his skills with a solo rendition of ‘New Girl.’ Stepping off the stage to sing directly to the audience from the railing, Finneas made a strong connection with the crowd.

Undoubtedly, the audience had come to witness Billie’s extraordinary talent, proving that age is just a number when it comes to delivering an electrifying performance. Billie’s stage presence exceeds her years, showcasing a confidence that rivals performers three or four times her age – all while performing on just one foot. Truly amazing…
