Fans of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift are buzzing with rumors of a feud between the two stars, and here’s why. It all started in March when Eilish criticized major artists for releasing multiple vinyl variants, which many fans interpreted as a jab at Swift. Eilish denied this on Instagram, emphasizing industry-wide issues and the climate crisis. Tensions escalated in May when Swift announced new digital versions of her album on the same day Eilish released "Hit Me Hard and Soft," sparking accusations of sabotage from Eilish’s fans. The latest stir came from a livestream where Eilish called the idea of a three-hour concert "psychotic," a comment seen as a dig at Swift’s lengthy ‘Eras Tour’ shows. Despite these incidents, the rumors of a feud remain unconfirmed.

00:00 Fans of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift are buzzing with rumors of a feud between the
00:04 two stars.
00:05 Here's a quick timeline of the drama that sparked these suspicions.
00:10 The first instance of alleged "shade" that fans pointed out occurred in an interview
00:14 Billie Eilish did with Billboard back in March of this year.
00:17 While talking about using recycled vinyl, Eilish expressed her frustration with other
00:21 huge artists not making the same efforts, sharing, "Some of the biggest artists in
00:26 the world making f***ing 40 different vinyl packages that have a unique thing just to
00:30 get you to keep buying more.
00:32 It's so wasteful and it's irritating to me."
00:35 Many fans were suspicious Eilish's words were a dig at Taylor Swift, who is known to
00:40 release multiple vinyl variants, but Eilish denied this outright on Instagram, writing,
00:45 "I wasn't singling anyone out.
00:47 These are industry-wide issues.
00:48 The climate crisis is now and it's about all of us being a part of the problem and
00:52 trying to do better."
00:54 Then we fast forward to May, when Eilish fans called out Swift for announcing three new
00:58 digital versions of the Tortured Poets department, which dropped the same day as Eilish's new
01:03 album, Hit Me Hard & Soft.
01:06 Fans accused Swift of trying to block Hit Me Hard & Soft from rising through the charts,
01:11 but many Swifties believed the releases were just a coincidence.
01:15 Most recently, however, in a livestream on the Stationhead app, when asked if she would
01:19 ever put on a show comparable in length to Taylor Swift's Aries Tour concerts, Eilish
01:24 had this to say.
01:25 "I'm not doing a three hour show.
01:27 That's literally psychotic.
01:29 Nobody wants that.
01:30 You guys don't want that.
01:31 I don't want that.
01:32 You know what I'm saying?
01:33 I don't even want that as a fan.
01:34 My favorite artists in the world, I'm not trying to hear them for three hours.
01:37 You know what I mean?
01:38 It's far too long."
01:39 Many saw this as another dig at the Bad Blood singer, but the rumors of beef remain just
01:45 that, rumors for now.
