In what had to feel like a fan-girl full circle moment, Billie Eilish joined Justin Bieber onstage for a performance of “One Less Lonely Girl” at Coachella.
During Bieber’s second headlining set at the festival, he performed his 2009 classic “One Less Lonely Girl” and brought a visibly shocked Eilish on stage to serenade her. In the moment that fans say Hailey Bieber set up by pushing Eilish to onstage, the singer looked emotional and shocked by experiencing the moment she’s probably been dreaming about for most of her life.
Check out Bieber’s performance with Eilish below.
To call Eilish a Bieber fan is an understatement; she’s been open about her obsession with him for years, calling him an inspiration and revealing that she grew up as a Belieber.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Eilish said of the Biebs, “He’s amazing. He’s so sweet and, like, I feel—just, honestly, I feel for him, man. He’s been through a lot, dude.”
In 2019, the pair met at Coachella and went on to work together on the remix to Eilish’s song, “Bad Guy.”
Bieber has let it known how big of a fan he is of her, too. In a 2020 interview with Zane Lowe, Bieber said of Eilish, "She's crazy, she's a superstar. I wanted to protect the moment, we never know how many opportunities we're gonna get with anybody. I'm tearing up thinking about it just with the Kobe situation... You just never know. I just wanted to be a good example.
“I definitely feel protective of her,” he continued. “It was hard for me, being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn. And everyone, you know, telling me they loved me and just turning their back on you in a second. So it’s hard because I want her to know that she can count on me."
Elsewhere in Bieber’s second Coachella headlining set of this year, he brought out Sexyy Red, Big Sean, and SZA to perform “Sweet Spot,” “No Pressure,” and “Snooze,” respectively.
