Billie Eilish’s efforts for social and political activism were recently appreciated at Sir Lucian Grainge’s 2023 Artist Showcase in Los Angeles this Saturday.
The ceremony, presented by Merz Aesthetics’ Experience+ and Coke Studio, was also attended by sensational singer Sabrina Carpenter.
THE Bad boy hit-maker wore a black ensemble as she received a REVERB Amplifier Award for her activism.
During her acceptance speech, Billie said: “A lot of you have money in your (expletive) pockets, so maybe use it for good things and not for stupid things, you know. ?”
The Grammy winner has spoken out on social and political issues, including gun control.
She confessed in her speech: “I’m doing everything I can but I feel like I can always do more, but I feel really impressed and really excited that you guys are making it a priority and thinking about it and that you kind of do your part. That’s really important.
She added: “I feel like I spend a lot of time being really worried that I don’t feel like a lot of people, and especially people in the business, I don’t have the feel like they care a lot, and it’s really nice to see that it’s happening and you’re doing it, and I just want to say, like, everyone in this room, we can all do our part.
