Can you imagine calling Billy Eilish boring? Katy Perry doesn’t have to.
On January 27, radio station 102.7 KIIS FM shared a clip of Perry telling the story of the first time she heard from Eilish – and the time she refused to work with the now award-winning artist. Grammys.
In the clip, Perry reveals she once received an email suggesting she check out a “new artist” that someone on her team wanted the “Roar” singer to collaborate with. “It was a song called ‘Ocean Eyes’ and it was just a blonde girl,” Perry explained in the TikTok video. “And I was like, ‘Meh, boring.'”
Boring, she says! In case you forgot, Eilish first released “Ocean Eyes” in 2015, when she was around 13 years old. Since that fateful November, Eilish has won seven Grammys, scored a Golden Globe, broken multiple Billboard records, and established herself as one of the world’s biggest entertainers. After winning the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2022, the 21-year-old is just one step away from EGOT status.
“Big mistake. Huge mistake,” Perry admitted before adding, “Don’t leave this on the internet.
Of course, Katy Perry continued to offer a listening ear to Billie Eilish when the couple met at Coachella in 2019. “Congratulations, I’m so proud of you,” Perry told Eilish in images shared in the documentary of 2021. Billie Eilish: The world is a bit blurry. “I meant, it’s going to be wild for 10 years. If you ever want to talk…because it’s a weird race.
Perry also introduced Eilish to fiancé Orlando Bloom, who is a big fan of the young artist’s music… only Eilish had no idea who he was until his brother Finneas told him he was from “fuckin’ “. Pirates of the Caribbean.”
“That guy?! It was him?!” Eilish replied “Certainly not! Bring him back. I want to meet him again. He kissed me on the cheek. I didn’t know it was him. I thought it was just some guy Katy Perry met. .
