Last month in an interview with Billboard, Billie Eilish opened up about all the ways she and her team are incorporating sustainability into the music industry. While discussing the use of recycled vinyl, Eilish expressed frustration with major artists releasing multiple vinyl variants to boost sales, calling it "wasteful" and "irritating." Some fans speculated she was targeting Taylor Swift, known for such practices, but Eilish denied this on Instagram, stating her comments were about industry-wide issues and not aimed at anyone specific. Now, Eilish fans believe the tables have turned, accusing Swift of deliberately releasing three new digital versions of her album on the same day as Eilish's new album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft," to hinder its chart performance. However, many Swifties argue the timing is just a coincidence.

00:00 Billie Eilish fans are convinced that Taylor Swift just purposefully shaded the star.
00:05 Last month in an interview with Billboard, Billie Eilish opened up about all of the ways
00:09 she and her team are working sustainability into the music industry.
00:13 But while talking about recycled vinyl, Eilish expressed her frustration with other huge
00:17 artists not making the same efforts, sharing, "Some of the biggest artists in the world
00:22 make effing 40 different vinyl packages that have a unique thing just to get you to keep
00:27 buying more.
00:28 It's so wasteful and it's irritating to me."
00:31 Many fans were suspicious Eilish's words were a dig at Taylor Swift, who is known to
00:35 release multiple vinyl variants, but Eilish denied this outright on Instagram, writing,
00:40 "I wasn't singling anyone out.
00:43 These are industry-wide issues."
00:45 But now the tables have turned, as Eilish fans think Swift purposefully announced three
00:50 new digital versions of the Tortured Poets department that dropped the same day as Eilish's
00:55 new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
00:58 Eilish fans are accusing Swift of trying to block Hit Me Hard and Soft from rising through
01:02 the charts, but many Swifties insist that the releases are just a coincidence.
