Don't expect 3-hour concerts from Billie Eilish anytime soon. While answering fan questions live following the release of her third album, 'Hit Me Hard and Soft,' the Grammy and Oscar winner was asked if she would ever perform a three-hour-long show — similar to what Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have done for their tours. Eilish responded bluntly, "I'm not doing a three-hour show, that's literally psychotic."

00:00 "Don't expect 3 hour concerts from Billie Eilish anytime soon."
00:04 While answering fan questions live following the release of her third album, Hit Me Hard
00:08 and Soft, the Grammy and Oscar winner was asked if she would ever perform a three-hour
00:13 long show, similar to what Taylor Swift and Beyonce have done for their tours.
00:18 Eilish responded bluntly, "I'm not doing a three-hour show.
00:20 That's literally psychotic."
00:22 Eilish was answering the questions on the music app Stationhead, where she went on to
00:26 say, "Nobody wants that.
00:27 You guys don't want that.
00:28 I don't want that.
00:29 I don't even want that as a fan.
00:30 My favorite artists in the world, I'm not trying to hear them for three hours."
00:34 While Eilish didn't direct her comments at a particular artist, some Swifties questioned
00:38 if she was throwing shade at Swift, whose heiress tour runs more than three hours.
00:43 However, Eilish has previously praised Swift and Beyonce for their ability to perform long
00:48 shows.
00:49 While speaking to the Los Angeles Times in October of 2023, Eilish said, "Beyonce and
00:54 Taylor Swift are untouchable superstars.
00:57 The fact that they can put on a show that long, and it's filled with so many incredible
01:00 moments is really amazing."
01:02 The singer also noted in her live Q&A that she won't be performing every song off of
01:06 her new album for her tour because the show would be "like a million years long" due
01:11 to popular tracks from her previous albums that she plans to perform.
