'It's a treat': Swifties defend Taylor Swift after Billie Eilish calls three-hour concerts 'psychotic'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The feud between Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift appears to be heating up. Recently, the 'Ocean Eyes' singer hosted a Spotify Stationhead-style 'Listening Party' and made comments about 'three-hour shows.'
Social media users, however, interpreted this remark as a potential dig at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, both known for their lengthy performances.
What did Billie Eilish say?
Previously, on March 28, Eilish seemed to take a swipe at Swift when she criticized the trend of artists releasing multiple vinyl packages.
In an interview with Billboard, Eilish accused some musicians of putting profit above sustainability and highlighted the negative environmental impact of producing multiple vinyl editions.
Now, Billie said on the livestream held on May 23, "I'm not doing a three hour show, that's literally psychotic," She added, "Even my favorite artist in the world, I'm not tryna hear them for three hours. You know what I mean? It's far too long."

Billie Eilish seemingly shares her thoughts on Stationhead about ‘The Eras Tour’ and ‘The Renaissance Tour’ earlier today, the only recent high-profile tours to span 3 or more hours:

This did not sit well with Swifties, as many fans took it as a personal attack on Swift, who frequently releases multiple vinyl versions of her albums.
Eilish's latest album, 'Hit Me Hard And Soft,' was released, marking her first album since 2021. On the same day, Taylor Swift introduced three new vinyl editions of her album 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
Some of Eilish's supporters accused Swift of attempting to overshadow Eilish by scheduling her vinyl releases to coincide with the release of Eilish's album.
Billie Eilish mocked by Swifties over her comments
Several social media users slammed Eilish for apparently calling out Swift. A Facebook user said, "At least with a 3 hour show just her is a treat for Swifty's. I'm not a Swifty but I'm sure I would enjoy Taylor better than Billie any day!"
Another user said, "She is such a child. All she does is say childish things in very public ways. If she doesn't have the stamina or desire to do a 3 hour show that is on her. Taylor is touring 5 albums that were released plus all the old favorites. she is giving the people what they want. Billie is just coming off as SUCH a hater these days."
Another user said, "I like Billie, but no one wants to listen to her for 3 hours because most of her songs are really depressing Taylor's ticket sales and popularity speak for themselves. Billie is being sour.."
A user said, "Considering all the shows are sold out & breaking attendance records, I'd say the fans DO want that."
Another user said, "Wow Billie. Imagine if she put all that energy into something more useful. Being bitter doesn't get you very far."
