Billie Eilish has rejected the growing music industry push for phone-free gigs, admitting she would personally record 'every single minute' of a live performance.
The Grammy-winning artist, 24, told NME on 14 May 2026 that filming is an 'important part of the culture' which keeps young audiences connected. Eilish argued that capturing footage allows fans to relive emotional connections long after the house lights come up. These comments follow the premiere of her new 3D concert film at the Westwood Village Theatre, where a sea of smartphones is visible throughout the crowd.
