On December 18, 2024By Littum

Billie Eilish was hit in the face with what appeared to be a flying bracelet when the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour played the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where she commanded the stage like the seasoned veteran she has become as a 22- annual, Friday, Dec. 13.

The star was straddling the stage singing “What Was I Made For?”, her Oscar-winning ballad from the “Barbie” soundtrack, when an object hit her in the face, a moment captured in fan footage shared on TikTok.

The video shows Eilish shaking and making a face as nearby fans start booing.

IN a video posted on Xcan you hear a voice in the audience say, “Excuse me.”

Eilish continued to sing the hit, missing the end of the line she was singing before picking up the item and tossing it aside.

Eilish spoke about getting hit by things at the ‘Barbie’ premiere

At the “Barbie” world premiere in 2023, Eilish told The Hollywood Reporter she’s been hit with stuff on stage “for, like, literally six years.”

“People just get excited and that can be dangerous,” she said. “It’s completely annoying when you’re up there.

“I have mixed feelings about it because when you’re up there it’s windy. But it’s like, you know, it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something. “Take mine, you know, this.’ And you know, you’re in a vulnerable position, but I’ve been hit with things for, like, years, so. …”

As her brother Finneas noted, “They don’t throw tomatoes and oranges.”

The interview ended with Finneas turning to the camera and saying, “We get it, but don’t do it.”

Eilish talked about someone taking her ring at the Phoenix concert

Earlier in her set in Phoenix, after a breathtaking version of “Lovely” that really lived up to the title, Eilish talked about someone taking a ring off her finger as she walked through the crowd.

“You guys love taking my rings off,” she said. “But I love it. It’s fun. Oh my God, you guys run so intense it’s crazy. I love you so much. A bunch. The amount of rings and (expletive) that have been ripped off my fingers ? And I know it’s not on purpose. It’s like you just don’t care.”

She said she tries to hold her fingers in such a way that it’s harder to take her rings, then added, “Somebody took one over there. It’s all good. Whatever. If you find a ring.. .”
