Billie Eilish at just 19 years old was criticized by her fans on social networks for sexualizing her body for the cover of Vogue Magazine. This caused annoyance because the young woman is a women's rights activist and has repeatedly spoken out against the music industry for sexualizing the bodies of teenage singers. Although in the interview, she emphasizes the abuse or uncomfortable circumstances that women experience during her life, the fans did not consider it important and pointed it out.
He spoke uncensored about the sexualization that has been done to his body in the music sector. However, the artist has arranged how and when to show her body, without being carried away by trends or the impositions of an industry that continues to sexualize the female image among musical artists. She has kept her body positive and feminist discourse firm, stating that it is about what makes you feel good, alluding to the clothes she has chosen.
On the other hand, one of the topics that were touched on was the abuse suffered during his childhood. The singer made a complete transformation that has to do with her new song, which is titled "Your Power", which she called an open letter to people who take advantage of it. This single is broken down from his second album "Happier Than Every", touching on the subject of abusers who exploit underage girls.
