A resurfaced video of Billie Eilish talking about her childhood admiration for Justin Bieber has gone viral online after her surprise Coachella appearance.
The clip, shared by Complex Music, features Eilish at age 12 speaking candidly about her then‑intense crush on Bieber, now 32, during his early career. It has garnered more than 590,000 views in recent days, with fans revisiting the moment amid heightened interest in Bieber following his Coachella performances.
“So many Justin Bieber things I was like crying so hard. Because I’ve gotten worried that when I get a boyfriend, I won’t wanna be with him because I actually love Justin Bieber more,” Eilish, now 24, says in the video.
The resurfacing comes shortly after Bieber headlined Coachella 2026, returning to the festival stage across both weekends. During Weekend Two, held April 18 in Indio, California, Bieber delivered a guest‑filled set, including appearances from SZA, Big Sean, Sexyy Red and Dijon.
During his set, Bieber revived his long‑standing tradition of serenading a fan during his 2009 hit “One Less Lonely Girl”—this time inviting Eilish onstage. Footage from the night shows Eilish being ushered toward the stage by Hailey Bieber, visibly overwhelmed as Bieber sang to her in front of the crowd. Eilish played the part of swooning teen fangirl and dropped to the floor as Bieber picked her back up.
She described the moment as “really magical” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Clips of the interaction quickly spread across social media, prompting fans to revisit Eilish’s long‑documented admiration for Bieber.
The two first met at Coachella in 2019 and later collaborated on a remix of Eilish’s song “Bad Guy.” Over the years, Eilish has openly credited Bieber as an early influence and spoken about following his career closely while growing up.
Fans reacting to the resurfaced childhood video echoed that sentiment.
“Hailey married every girl’s childhood crush whether that’s fortunate or unfortunate, only she will know,” one user wrote. “I remember the Justin fever back in school; the day of his concert, all 15 of my classmates were absent.”
“Every teenager had a crush on JB,” another added.
Others described the clip as endearing. “Why is this cute lol,” one user commented, while another wrote: “This was how every teenage girl was when Justin Bieber was a teen. He had every young fangirl in a chokehold.”
Another viewer summed it up simply: “I actually love how much they admire each other.”
