LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the wake of Donald Trump’s controversial victory in the 2024 Presidential Election, Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter took to the stage to share a heartfelt message of support for women across the country.

At her concert in Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, Sabrina Carpenter addressed the emotional weight many were feeling following the election. “I hope we can be a moment of peace for you and a moment of safety,” she told the crowd. “Sorry about our country and to the women in here, I love you so, so, so, so, so much. And I really hope for the rest of this night that you can enjoy yourselves because you absolutely deserve it. But we just love you, so thank you for being here tonight.”

Carpenter’s words were a direct response to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, a win that left many American women feeling disillusioned and concerned.

As the election stirred controversy and division, Carpenter’s message provided a comforting space for her fans to reflect and find solace in the collective experience of the night.

Billie Eilish, who performed later that evening in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena, also spoke out in support of her female fans. Eilish admitted that she initially wasn’t sure she could perform after waking up to the news of Trump’s win. “Waking up this morning, I kind of couldn’t, like, really fathom doing this show on this day, but the longer the day went on I kind of had this just feeling of, like, it’s such a privilege that I get to do this guys and that we have this in a time like right now,” she shared.

With an emotional tone, Billie Eilish reassured the women in the audience, saying, “I just love you so much, and I want you to know that you’re safe with me and you’re protected here and you are safe in this room.”

Eilish also shared a powerful message tied to her song 'TV', which she and her brother Finneas wrote following the 2022 overturning of Roe v Wade.

The song explores the theme of abuse and societal pressures, particularly on women. Eilish told the crowd, “I’ve never met one single woman who doesn’t have a story of abuse — not one.” She went on to open up about her own experiences with abuse, saying, “I’ve dealt with some stuff myself and I’ve been taken advantage of, and I’ve been … my boundaries were crossed, to say it politely.”

In light of Donald Trump’s victory, which she described as particularly painful for women, Billie Eilish did not shy away from expressing her disgust. “Now a person who is a convicted … let’s say convicted predator. Let’s say that. God, my heart is beating fast. Someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president of the United States of America,” she said.

The audience responded with support and appreciation as Eilish dedicated the song 'TV' to all women, making it clear that she was standing with them.

The election results saw Trump claim 51% of the popular vote (71,960,302 votes) and win the Electoral College, securing another term in office.

The following day, Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump to concede, offering a message of resilience. In her concession speech, Harris promised to continue the fight for progress, stating, “The light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
