Billie Eilish appeared euphoric as she joyfully leaped into a pool fully clothed while commemorating the release of her second album, “Happier Than Ever.” Surrounded by a gathering of friends and loved ones, the seven-time Grammy winner shared a series of snapshots on social media, showcasing her swimming and splashing adventures.
Captioning the slideshow with “Life is good,” the 19-year-old singer kicked off the imagery with a playful shot of her sticking her tongue out, followed by one captured in a fit of giggles.
Additionally, snapshots captured her dancing and twirling in the water alongside Carly Russ Peterson, Zoe Donahoe, Dora Jar, and Amanda Merten.
In each frame, Eilish’s radiant smile was evident, prompting numerous fans to comment on her apparent happiness.
Commentary on the singer’s contentment flooded the comment section, with one fan expressing tearful happiness and another noting how joy suited her.
Earlier in the week, Eilish had candidly discussed grappling with her self-esteem, particularly regarding body image, in an interview with The Guardian. Despite her confidence in other aspects of her life, she admitted to struggling with her body image.
As a teen pop star, Eilish famously sported loose-fitting, shapeless clothing and often shielded her face behind oversized sunglasses. She explained the necessity of disassociating her body image from her stage persona due to her negɑtive perception of her physique.
Expressing disdain for societal focus on physical appearance, Eilish asserted that bodies are primarily functional, essential only for basic activities like eating and walking.
She questioned society’s fixation on certain aspects of appearance, such as body hair, while glorifying others, like hair on the head.
Eilish also criticized individuals who promote unrealistic body standards without acknowledging cosmetic enhancements, asserting that such behavior is detrimental, particularly for young people.
These beliefs, she revealed, were shaped by discussions with her father throughout her childhood, highlighting the loss of joy and freedom that comes from constantly striving to maintain a flawless image.
