Billie Eilish recently looked back at her childhood days as a devoted Justin Bieber fan after sharing the stage with him at Coachella. The 24-year-old singer joined Bieber during his performance of "One Less Lonely Girl" on April 18, an experience that left her visibly emotional. Following the show, Eilish took to Instagram to share a series of nostalgic throwbacks, including old photos, Bieber merchandise memories, fan-made jokes, and a childhood video, highlighting just how long she has admired the 32-year-old pop star.
The Throwback Post
According to People magazine, Eilish posted the collection on Instagram on Thursday, April 23, with a simple caption: "Don't talk to me." The first image showed a young Eilish wearing a rainbow sequin dance costume and white Converse sneakers, posing in a room adorned with Justin Bieber posters. Another slide featured a whiteboard where a younger Eilish had rewritten the lyrics to Aqua's 1997 hit "Barbie Girl" using a purple marker. She also added details about Bieber's birthday and his birthplace in Canada.
In a playful twist, she wrote: "I'm a Bieber girl. In a Bieber world, it's Biebertastic, let's Bieber blast it, Bieber flips his hair, wears purple everywhere, it's a Bieber nation, thank god for his creation! Come on Bieber spread the FEVER!"
More Memories
The rest of the Instagram slides showed Eilish across different years wearing Bieber's merchandise. She also included Bieber-fever-themed memes. The final slide featured a video of a young Eilish dancing to Bieber's 2013 song "Confident."
The Coachella Moment
The throwback post came after Bieber invited Eilish, who has long identified as a Belieber, onstage during his Coachella headlining set on April 18. He brought her out midway through his 2009 hit "One Less Lonely Girl." The next day, Eilish showed fans that she was still emotional over the surprise. She posted a selfie on Instagram Stories with red eyes and wrote, "Can't stop crying."
Her mother, Maggie Baird, also shared a heartfelt Instagram post after the performance. She called it "one of the most touching moments ever." Baird wrote: "We watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there's nothing in our power to do… Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible."
The throwbacks turned the Coachella cameo into a full-circle moment for both Eilish and Bieber's fans, celebrating a lifelong dream realized on one of the biggest stages in music.
