Billie Eilish Enraptures Madison Square Garden With ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ Tour: 8 Best Moments


The Billboard chart-topper played her first of three sold-out nights at The Garden on Wednesday (Oct. 16). Get all the details.

Dressed in her now-trademark ensemble of an oversized t-shirt, baggy shorts, sneakers, and a Yankees snapback, Eilish sprinted around the stage, spent some time with fans on the floor, and treated The Garden two hours to some of the best and most adventurous pop music of the last half-decade. Before she took the stage, pop-rock sibling duo Nat & Alex Wolff — who some fans fondly remember as The Naked Brothers Band from Nickelodeon — warmed up the arena, delivering spirited renditions of tracks like 2020’s “Glue” and “Soft Kissing Hour,” an unreleased Eilish-produced cut. Between the lasers timed to different beat drops, the animated projections that contoured the mobile structure in the middle of the stage, and the swinging platform that served as the home for a winning rendition of “The Greatest,” Billie delivered a visual feast that added to the show’s aesthetic without completely overwhelming her presence.
