Billie Eilish is absolutely stunned that her "idol" not only wants to work with her, but is starstruck by her!
The "LUNCH" star sat down with Complex on Thursday (December 5), detailing exactly how she felt when Rihanna said she wanted to make music with her.
"I've never met Rihanna. She's literally my idol. She's the greatest of all time. She's my complete dream collab. I don't even answer that question when people are like, 'Who would you like to collab with?' But I always think Rihanna. I'm not going to say that, though! Why would I say that?! It's not real. I would think, like, 'She probably doesn't even like me.' I've never heard from her and I've never had any interaction with her, so why would I have ever even thought about it?"
In October, RiRi told Access Hollywood that she wanted to collab with Eilish, and that she couldn't believe the hitmaker knew her.
"If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish."
The "Diamonds" songstress continued:
"Billie Eilish knows me? Billie is the most anti, coolest girl ever. In my mind she doesn’t listen to commercial music. I feel like she’s just creating her diary vocally. You can feel like she’s just zoned into who she is and what she’s experiencing and what she’s feeling."
Upon hearing a second time that Rihanna wanted to work with her, the "bury a friend" standout quipped:
"'Well, b----, I've been sitting here this whole time!' What the f--- is she even talking about? Honestly. What do you mean, 'If only?!' It's, like, as if I've been saying, 'No.' Rihanna! Riri!? I'll literally do anything you want. That's insane."
Will 2025 be the year for a Billie Eilish, Rihanna collab? Here's to hoping!
