“It’s an important part of the culture that we are all on our goddamn phones and it keeps us connected, you know?”: Billie Eilish doesn’t have a problem with phones at gigs

Billie Eilish attends a game between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodger.

In the ongoing smartphones at gigs debate, Billie Eilish has plonked herself firmly in the pro-phone camp.

In a new interview with NME to promote her James Cameron-directed 3D concert movie Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter described using a phone as habitual for her generation. “I just think that’s what it’s like. My generation, and the generations below, we love to film stuff. All I do is film and take pictures of stuff – all of the time.”
