During the show, Billie Eilish seemed to break down with emotion, telling the crowd:
“Waking up this morning, I kinda couldn’t fathom doing a show on this day. But.. the longer the day went on I kinda had this feeling of it’s such a privilege I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time that…”
“I just love you so much and I want you to know that you’re safe with me and you’re protected here and you’re safe in this room,” she told her fans.
The set featured a version of ‘Your Power’, with the somewhat apt lyrics: “Try not to abuse your power / I know we didn’t choose to change…”
Discussing this song with the crowd, Billie Eilish told them: “Someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the President. This song is for all the women out there. I love you, I support you.”
