On social network X (Twitter), fans of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift are “fighting” each other. Billie Eilish fans accused Taylor Swift of being mean to her juniors, taking action to oppress one person after another.

Specifically, last March, singer Happier Than Ever made a statement that “touched” the entire music industry when publicly criticizing the problem of multiple vinyl album versions. Billie Eilish expressed her discomfort, criticizing big artists for releasing many plastic albums just to “make money from fans”, improve their achievements and affect the environment. Billie Eilish’s statement was rumored to be referring to stars who sold many albums such as Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo… Taylor Swift was called out the most for being the artist who sold the most albums in 2023, at the same time.

However, Billie Eilish is not “innocent” either, as she has released up to 15 versions of Happier Than Ever. Netizens say that Billie has “double standards”, even though she affirms that she and her team only use recycled materials. These materials have no less impact on the environment than virgin materials. After speaking, Billie Eilish also released 8 vinyl versions of her new album Hit Me Hard And Soft.

Also today, Taylor Swift released 3 digital versions of the album The Tortured Poets Department . Billie Eilish fans believe that Taylor Swift intentionally releases music to oppress her idol. In addition, these people also “scandalized” Taylor Swift returning to Spotify right when Katy Perry released a new album, posting digital music when SZA made a new comeback to steal the spotlight from these artists.

Taylor Swift fans responded by arguing that Friday is the day the chart is calculated, so it is reasonable for the female singer to release music today. In addition, the Fortnight singer also pointed out that digital music should protect the environment more than the 8 vinyl versions of Billie Eilish’s new album.

Billie Eilish was also “dug up” about the past of inviting Damon Albarn to the Coachella stage, and Damon Albarn had previously criticized Taylor Swift for not knowing how to write music. Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas O’Connell also jokingly said, “Taylor will sue us.” Currently , the battle on social network X is not over yet.
