During an interview in October, Rihanna listed Eilish as a “dream collab” to which Eilish responded with complete shock. "She's literally my idol. She's the greatest of all time. She's my complete dream collab,” Eilish shared in a follow-up interview. “I don't even answer that question when people are like, 'Who would you like to collab with?' But I always think Rihanna. I'm not going to say that, though! Why would I say that?! It's not real. I would think, like, 'She probably doesn't even like me.' I've never heard from her and I've never had any interaction with her, so why would I have ever even thought about it?"
The feeling of disbelief appears to be mutual as Rihanna also expressed surprise when she found out Billie knew who she was. "Billie Eilish knows me? Billie is the most anti, coolest girl ever,” she expressed. “In my mind she doesn’t listen to commercial music. I feel like she’s just creating her diary vocally. You can feel like she’s just zoned into who she is and what she’s experiencing and what she’s feeling."
Now that the air has been cleared and both women clearly share mutual admiration for one another, Eilish says she’s ready to collaborate for “anything” Rihanna wants as the Barbadian native wishfully stated, "if I could only do a song with Billie Eilish."
Eilish responded, "'Well, b****, I've been sitting here this whole time!' What the f*** is she even talking about? Honestly. What do you mean, 'If only?!' It's, like, as if I've been saying, 'No.' Rihanna! Riri!? I'll literally do anything you want. That's insane."
Sounds like we can all add an Eilish/Rihanna collaboration to our 2025 Bingo cards.
