In an interview with Matt Wilkinson for Apple Music 1, Billie Eilish revealed that she used one of her dancers as a “body double” onstage at Coachella 2022.
“I dressed her up in a show look that I had worn before. We got a black wig and we put buns in it and we gave her a mask and sunglasses and she wore my shoes and my socks,” said Eilish.
“I put her up at the back of the stage and she stood there while the lights went on and everybody thought it was me,” the “NDA” singer continued. “And nobody ever knew it wasn’t me, literally nobody knew. And while she’s up there, I put on a big black coat and a traffic vest and a hood and just glasses.”
The 20-year-old headliner’s set’s opening was when the move was made. An Eilish-like figure stood on stage, taking it all in, as parts of the songs “Oxytocin” and “Happier Than Ever” by Eilish played. The sneaky singer’s face, however, was not revealed on the festival’s enormous screens until two minutes had passed, at which point she began singing “bury a friend.”
