Billie Eilish performed at the Coachella music festival on Saturday.
The 20-year-old star explained on stage that she “shouldn’t be doing that shit headlining”.
As her set wrapped, she apologized to the crowd for not being Beyoncé, who was headlining in 2018.
Billie Eilish took a moment in the middle of her Coachella performance to thank fans for coming — and to question her own place in the lineup.
Eilish took the stage in Indio, California on Saturday, becoming the youngest headliner in the history of the music festival.
“I shouldn’t be headlining that shit!” she told the crowd, which included Insider’s music team. “But I’m so damn grateful that I’m here and that you’re all here. This is such a dream come true. I feel crazy.”
Eilish went on to explain her “three rules for the night,” including a blanket ban on judging others, “don’t be an asshole” and “just have fun bitch.”
When her set ended about an hour later, Eilish apologized.
“Thank you Coachella! I’m sorry I’m not Beyoncé,” she said, adding, “I love you, good night.”
Beyoncé famously became the first black woman to headline Coachella in 2018, delivering a career-defining performance that included grueling choreography, multiple outfit changes and a Destiny’s Child reunion.
At just 20 years old, Eilish has also made history several times by becoming the only woman in Grammys history to win all four major categories and the first Oscar winner to be born in the 21st century.
She has also headlined festivals such as Governors Ball in New York City and Firefly in Delaware. She will soon become the youngest solo headliner in the history of Europe’s biggest festival, Glastonbury in England.
