Billie Eilish sparks rumors that she objected to TikTokers attending the People's Choice Awards after hearing influencers talked about on the show

Billie Eilish was overheard speaking out about the TikTokers attending the People's Choice Awards.

In a video circulating online, the singer had some things to say about the presence of influencers at the show while speaking to Kylie Minogue.

Billie, 22, was heard telling Kylie, 55: “I think there are some… TikTokers here.”

Just as Billie said the word “TikTokers,” she covered the side of her face, seemingly in an attempt to avoid being overheard, before gesturing to something behind her.

Fans interpreted her comments as a disapproval of the TikTokers, with many agreeing with her apparent objection to their presence: “Billie shading the scourge of the internet makes me like her even more,” one person wrote.

“lol I couldn't make it with acting so I'm cooking on TikTok but I'm here with Billie,” someone added with a laughing crying emoji.

“Tiktokers everywhere like a plague,” wrote another.

“There are actually some talented tiktokers out there but I don't know why they invite the bad ones lmaoo,” another posted.

“And she's right, because TikTokers are not celebrities and don't belong at award shows. They make them cheaper,” one person posted.

Billie took home the award for TV Performance of the Year for her role as cult leader Eva in the Prime miniseries Swarm.

She had to compete for the award against notable figures such as Meryl Streep, Ayo Edebiri and Jon Hamm.

“Wow, that was crazy to see,” Eilish said in her acceptance speech. “That was so crazy to see all those names and then mine, and I'm here. This is a fan vote, and I just want to say how grateful, lucky, and privileged I am for that. Thank you so much.'

She praised her collaborators on the project and gave credit to the show's creators, Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, as well as star Dominique Fishback.

In a video circulating online, the singer appeared to disapprove of the presence of influencers on the show as she spoke to Kylie Minogue during the show.

“I just want to thank Donald Glover for being my lifelong inspiration and making me the artist I am today,” Eilish began.

'I owe that whole experience to her. She deserves this more than I do. She's incredible, she's beautiful, she's talented, she should be cast in everything forever.”

She concluded the speech by thanking her mother for being her acting coach and the people who voted for her.

Swarm debuted early last year and earned Fishback both praise and an Emmy nomination for her outstanding performance.

The storyline revolves around an obsessed fan Dre (Fishback) who resorts to murderous extremes to protect the reputation of her beloved pop star.

Eilish portrayed Eva, a subtly manipulative cult leader within an all-female group, who ensnared Dre under the pretext of “female empowerment.”

Billie previously said the show's exploration of toxic fandom resonated with her because she's experienced it in real life as a global pop star.

“That fan passion is so real, and it's so beautiful, but it's also very scary,” she said Variety in June 2023. 'And I think the show is a metaphor for this power – how people really go into this delusion of, “She's going to see me and we're going to be best friends!”

“Fans really are so powerful, and I think maybe they don't realize how powerful they are.”

The Oscar winner revealed that she wanted to try acting even before the opportunity with Swarm came along.

Despite both her parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, being actors, she initially suppressed the pursuit and considered herself “very bad” at it, according to Variety.

It wasn't until Glover personally approached her about the role of Eva that she reconsidered and embraced the opportunity to explore acting. Eilish was also in the running for Pop Star of the Year, which went to Taylor Swift.
