Billie Eilish returns for Vanity Fair's 8th time capsule interview

Billie Eilish is back for her eighth annual Time Capsule interview with Vanity Fair, a tradition that started in 2017 when she was just 16. The original idea aimed to document her growth as a budding artist, but it has since evolved into a chronicle of her meteoric rise in the music industry.

Eilish first participated in the interview following the success of her viral hit, Ocean Eyes. Since then, she has won multiple Grammys, sold out global tours, and achieved widespread critical acclaim, all while undergoing significant personal and creative transformations. This year’s interview, filmed in October 2024, offers a fresh look at her thoughts on career achievements, relationships, and evolving as an artist.
 

Reflecting on the journey, Eilish shared her awe at how her life has unfolded, calling it “the craziest thing in the world.” Clips from a never-before-seen 2023 interview will also feature in this year’s edition, set to premiere on December 18.

Over the years, Eilish’s interviews have explored themes like mental health, the pressures of fame, and her creative process. Now, at 22, she continues to provide fans with a candid glimpse into her world. As her career progresses, Eilish credits her authenticity and deep connection with her fans as key elements of her enduring success.

This unique series has become a cultural touchstone, offering an unparalleled perspective on the growth of one of this generation’s most influential artists.
