Recently, a source close to Billie Eilish affirmed that everyone in the American music industry clearly sees the fact that Taylor Swift is weaponizing her fans and the young singer born in 2001 seems to be the latest victim. in a campaign to depose.

“Whenever Taylor feels jealous of a peer’s success, she does all she can to ensure that her fans start vicious online campaigns to bring down that person, without ever asking them to stop, while it all operated under the manipulation of America’s lover (a reference to Taylor),” the source said.

The above comments came after Taylor and Eilish both released new albums in the first months of 2024, causing a fierce battle for the top spot on the chart. In particular, Billie is said to be the focus of increasing attacks launched by Taylor fans online.

The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), the female singer’s 11th studio album, has maintained the No. 1 position on Billboard ‘s album chart since its release on April 19.

Some critics say the 1989-born singer maintains that position by periodically releasing variations and extended versions, in order to keep sales and streaming figures high.

The fact that Taylor released three of these special editions on the same day that Eilish released her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft is considered by many to be an attempt to crush the competition. In fact, Taylor holds the number 1 position, and Eilish ranks 2nd on the Billboard chart.

Taylor fans argued that the timing was a coincidence, Taylor just wanted to keep her album at No. 1 for as long as possible, with no intention of offending anyone. However, Eilish’s supporters don’t think so.

Eilish’s manager, Danny Rukasin , also shared the status line on X (Twitter) accusing Taylor Swift of doing everything to prevent other artists from shining. According to the post, in addition to Eilish, Taylor has also done the same thing in the past to hinder artists like Katy Perry and SZA . Rukasin deleted the activity soon after, but it ignited the flames of hostility between the two factions.

Sources close to Eilish said the winner of two Oscars does not want a public conflict and that she is currently the victim of unwarranted online attacks from Taylor Swift fans.

“Billie wants nothing to do with a ‘feud’. She’s not interested in the feud and she’s done nothing to incite it. At a time when Billie is doing so well, there’s no reason to she’s involved in any kind of friction,” the insider insisted.

However, what Eilish does shows the opposite. Back in March, Eilish publicly criticized some artists for being wasteful, creating dozens of different vinyl records to make fans spend money.

Although the Gen Z music phenomenon claimed not to target any specific individual, netizens quickly thought of Taylor because she has 11 different vinyl albums sold on her own website. Many Swifties (Taylor’s fan community) have attacked the What Was I Made For? singer.

Not stopping there, in May, Eilish made a few more comments that were accused of touching her seniors. First, the young female singer criticized personal attack songs as disappointing (Taylor Swift is famous for many songs scolding ex-lovers, enemies, and old friends). Next, Eilish sarcastically criticized the artists performing in the 3-hour show for being mentally ill. Coincidentally, each show on the Eras Tour also ran for the same amount of time.
