Billie Eilish is walking back her not-so-veiled criticism of Taylor Swift for releasing several different vinyl cuts of her music … now saying everyone’s to blame, including herself.
The singer posted a message Sunday in an attempt to clarify what she said last week in an interview with Billboard — where she expressed frustration with artists who put out multiple vinyl records of the exact same music … all because it’s really not great for the environment.
She didn’t name any names … but a lot of people took this to be a shot at Taylor, because she’s one of the biggest artists in the game to do this … almost notoriously so.
However, now … BE is trying to shift the focus away from T-Swift and put it on the issue more broadly — which Billie says she’s also a part of by putting out too much vinyl.
She writes, “Okay so it would be so awesome if people would stop putting words into my mouth and actually read what I said in that billboard article. I wasn’t singling anyone out, these are industry-wide systemic issues.”
Billie continues … “When it comes to variants, so many artists release them – including ME! which i clearly state in the article,” she added, before concluding with: “The climate crisis is now and it’s about all of us being part of the problem and trying to do better sheesh.”
On its face, it would appear she caught a lot of flak from Swifties and she heard it all.
While Billie might be trying to fall on the sword a bit here, the fact is — her vinyl releases are, in fact, eco-friendly … in any case, sounds like she regrets implicating Tay Tay.
