Billie Eilish is currently touring arenas and stadiums, but she’s also making time to hit smaller venues—you might say, tiny venues.
The 22-year-old superstar appeared on NPR on Thursday (December 12) small table The web series, available on YouTube, sees Eilish, her brother and producer Finneas and several band members squeeze into the show’s iconic office space to perform four songs. She started with two of her favorite songs from her recent album, Hit me hard, hit me softly: “The Greatest” and “L’Amour de Ma Vie,” both of which she adopted a gentler voice to match the intimacy of the room.
“It’s very nerve-wracking,” she told a crowd gathered at NPR’s offices in Washington, D.C., during a break. “This is so cool. I’ve wanted to do this my whole life, so I’m kind of shaken.
The two-time Oscar winner then surprised fans by pulling out one of her older deep cuts and crooning “I Love You” from her Billboard 200-topping debut LP. When we all fall asleep, where do we go? Finneas Soft acoustic guitar. “This is one of my favorite songs we’ve ever written,” she said when introducing the song. “This was the first time I fell in love and I was very scared. The funny thing is, that fear never goes away – the fear of falling.
Eilish then closed the show with her three-week Billboard Global 200 hit “Birds of a Feather,” which recently won Best Pop Solo Performance as well as Song of the Year and Song of the Year ahead of the 2025 Grammy Awards. Three nominations for album.
The performance comes as Eilish prepares to wrap up the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, which kicked off in late September. Following a five-night performance at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on December 21, the singer will head to Europe and Australia for a series of dates in February.
