Billie Eilish declared that Rihanna is ‘the hottest person to ever exist in the history of the world’ during a new interview while reflecting on her own body image issues.
As she spoke about navigating body-shaming comments online, the superstar, 21, revealed she likes to listen to the 35-year-old Umbrella hitmaker’s music, play games on her phone, spend time with family and ‘take baths.’
‘Dogs, big dogs…like if I’m around big dogs, I’m chill,’ she told British Vogue. ‘But it’s really hard, you know? I’ve had a rough time, TBH [to be honest], and I’m still figuring it out. But it’s definitely a weird life; I’ll say that.’
The Barbados-born performer, who is expecting her second child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, was previously dubbed the ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ by Esquire Magazine in 2011.

Over the years, Eilish has previously credited the Fenty Beauty as her style inspiration, after she said ‘fashion has always been her defense mechanism.’
‘I feel like I’ve never felt something as strongly hearing someone else say it as I did when I heard her say that,’ she told Vogue Australia in 2019. ‘It’s always been that way for me. It’s always been my security blanket. It’s my way of expression without having to use words.’
The Oscar winner continued: ‘Fashion is its own language and I use mine all day, every day. I always have.’
That same year, Eilish defended the nine-time Grammy winner against fan criticism for focusing more on her makeup line than releasing new music.
‘I think Rihanna is f**king murdering it,’ Eilish told Billboard. ‘Everyone who is like, ‘Stop with the [Fenty] brand and put out more music,’ I think, ‘Shut the f**k up.’
Additionally, the Swarm actress said Rihanna ‘is doing exactly what she needs to do, and that’s fire.’
‘Yeah, we want new Rihanna music, but we also want Rihanna. Only props to her,’ Eilish reminded the world.
At the time, Bad Guy crooner admitted to Extra that she was ‘scared’ to meet Rihanna because her ‘entire life’ she has ‘never wanted to’ meet her ‘idols.’

‘I never wanted to bother them,’ she explained, before gushing she would ‘die a million times’ if she did get the privilege.
Earlier this week, Eilish opened up about feeling uncomfortable reading ‘hurtful comments’ about herself on social media.
‘Dude, I don’t even know. It’s tough, man,’ she said. ‘Honestly, nobody can say anything about my body that I don’t have a stronger opinion about.’
She added: ‘I also think that if I was younger, like if the internet talked about me the way they do now when I was like 11, I don’t think I would be able to exist, to be honest.’
The hitmaker went on to admit: ‘I like myself more than I used to, and I’m more interested in how I feel than how they feel. But then also that might be a load of bulls**t because it still hurts my feelings like a son of a b***h.’

Another step she’s taken to take back control from internet trolls is removing social media apps from her phone.
‘I don’t look at it anymore,’ Eilish noted on an episode of the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast.
‘I deleted it all off my phone, which is such a huge deal for me. Cause dude, you didn’t have the internet to grow up with,’ she explained.
‘For me, it was such a big part of – not my childhood, I wasn’t an iPad baby, thank god – but honestly, I feel like I grew up in the perfect time of the internet that it wasn’t so internet-y, I had such a childhood, and I was doing stuff all the time,’ she remembered.
The Grammy-winning music artist has long discussed her struggles with body image while living in the public eye.

In a 2019 conversation with Vanity Fair, the singer-songwriter revealed why she often turns to loose-fitting clothes.
‘To be quite honest with you, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body,’ she said at the time.
Also in 2019, when starring in a Calvin Klein campaign, the Los Angeles native spoke about her clothing choices.
‘I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know?’ she mused.
‘Nobody can be like, “Oh she’s slim-thick, she’s not slim-thick, she got a flat ass, she got a fat ass.” Nobody can say any of that because they don’t know,’ she continued.
More recently, the songstress has experimented with her fashion, opting to wear dresses and more form-fitting looks at times.
Back in May, Billie took to Instagram to respond to critics in a Stories post.
‘I spent the first 5 years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boy-ish and dressing how I did & constantly being told I’d be hotter if I acted like a woman,’ she wrote.
‘And now when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed and am a sellout. I can be both,’ she stated.
