Billie Eilish Slams Donald Trump at Nashville Show: ‘Someone Who Hates Women So, So Deeply Is About to Be the President’
Billie Eilish slammed Donald Trump during her Nashville concert, saying "someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president."
According to fan-captured video, the Grammy-winning singer told the crowd that waking up that morning — after Trump was declared the winner of the election — she “couldn’t really fathom doing a show on this day.” But, “the longer the day went on, I kind of had this feeling of like, it’s such a privilege that I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time like right now.” My boundaries were crossed, to say it politely, and now a person who is a … let’s say convicted predator, let’s say that — god, my heart is beating fast — someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president of the United States of America.

Wade.” She stood silent in front of the crowd and then walked off stage, making a powerful statement.
