Singer Billie Eilish unleashed on President-elect Donald Trump at her concert in Nashville following Trump’s stunning victory against Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.
On Wednesday night, the 22-year-old singer — who previously endorsed Harris in the 2024 election — got emotional on stage and attacked Trump as a “convicted predator,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I kind of couldn’t really fathom doing the show on this day, but the longer the day went on, I kind of had this just feeling of like it’s such a privilege that I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time like right now,” Eilish told concert-goers.
“I just love you so much, and I want you to know that you’re safe with me, and you’re protected here, and you are safe in this room,” she added, before she performed a song she and her brother Finneas O’Connell wrote that is about the “abuse that exists in this world upon women,” THR noted.
“To tell you the truth, I’ve never met one single woman who doesn’t have a story of abuse,” Eilish continued. “I’ve dealt with some stuff myself, and I have been taken advantage of, and I’ve been, you know, my boundaries were crossed, to say it politely. Now a person who is a convicted, uh, let’s say convicted predator. … Someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president.”

The singer previously made headlines when she announced her endorsement of Harris and said, “We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.”
Her brother then added, “We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms and our future. The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote and elect Kamala Harris.”

The Grammy-winning singer’s endorsement of the VP followed a slew of them from such stars as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and others.
But in the end, all the concerts and Hollywood endorsements could not push Harris over the finish line and Trump not only won the Electoral College with 312 to Harris’ 226 on Wednesday night, but he swept all seven of the battleground states, and has won the popular vote, netting close to 5 million more votes in his column than hers.
