During her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour stop at Dublin’s 3Arena on Saturday, July 26, the 23-year-old “Ocean Eyes” singer took a break between songs to talk to the crowd about her roots.
“As you guys know, I'm Irish, so it's cool to be here,” she said. “Obviously, I am not from here, but it's really cool to come somewhere and, like, everyone looks exactly like you, and you're all just as pasty as me, I love it."
The moment was met with loud cheers in the venue, but online, things got complicated fast.

“Do you really think that Billie Eilish, who’s had a pretty much perfect record of being progressive since she was a kid, is now suddenly a racist white supremacist doing a eugenics dog whistle on stage in Ireland?” she asked. “Or are you just bored and scared about all the big, scary things happening in the world and looking for someone easier to go after?”

The Good Place actress pointed out that Eilish “plays at many majority white countries and nations and she doesn't go around saying this every time,” adding, “She’s specifically Irish. She was in Ireland. She said, ‘Oh, everyone looks like me.’ It’s a very specific aesthetic,” Jamil explained—complete with a chef’s kiss for “Irish women are—”
At this time, Eilish has not publicly addressed the backlash surrounding her on-stage comments in Dublin.
