Billie Eilish “can’t stop crying” over her impromptu appearance with Justin Bieber at Coachella over the weekend.
The Bad Guy singer, who was a super fan of Justin’s growing up, joined her teen idol on stage during his headline set on Saturday night.
With the encouragement of Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, Billie left the VIP section and ran onto the stage to be serenaded by the Baby hitmaker for his One Less Lonely Girl segment. Justin sat her on a stool and enveloped her in a big hug as the song played, and afterwards, Billie ran off stage and returned to Hailey and her family in tears.
The 24-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal how she was doing after the huge moment, and posted a selfie showing herself with red, wet eyes. She captioned the post, “Can’t stop crying.”
Billie’s mother, Maggie Baird, also posted a series of photos and videos of the moment and thanked Justin and Hailey for making her daughter’s dream come true.
“One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do. But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert),” she wrote.
“Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible. I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey who makes so many things wonderful and possible.”
Maggie’s post featured a video of the Bury a Friend singer stumbling up the slope to the stage before Justin greets her and ushers her to the stool. She also shared a clip of Billie in tears in the crowd, and an image of her and her son Finneas hugging Billie as she got off stage.
In the comments, Hailey wrote, “So special” and “(love) you guys!”
