5 years since the whole insane queerbaiting discourse over a cute, fun girls slumber party mv 😭 and a great song imo.

I will never forgive whoever started that and ruined such a fun song/mv.
Who was here when that happened?
(I was on twt at the time and it was WILD… had to log off for a while 💀)

Meanwhile, even though she has long been seen as queer by many fans (and anyone denying it probably isn't paying attention to how openly she flirts with and expresses her attraction to women), this 19yo girl had so much influence that she arguably single-handedly put "queerbaiting" into everyone's vocabulary back in 2021

I was only starting to follow her closely at that time but that controversy was so damn stupid from the start

She was seen yesterday (or a few days ago not sure) with only Finneas, eating at a vegan restaurant in NYC that's very close to Electric Lady Studios. And now she's posted this. She's definitely cooking something!

Rumors have been building about a possible feature on Petal.

Billie has been liking and commenting on Ariana's posts promoting the album. wbk she's a huge Ari fan, but now this too.

what do u guys think?

I think a collaboration between her and Ariana is totally possible, but I believe the photo she just posted is probably related to BE4. What seems more suspicious to me is her and Finneas being together in New York. They have their own studio in LA, so for them to have gone to NYC, there must be a pretty good reason

This photo is from Finneas's basement studio. I highly doubt they were in electric lady.

I think they're just trying to get us thinking about new music so that it builds hype for when it releases (which is probably early next year, or late this year at the very earliest unfortunately)

I'd 100% believe she's featured on petal too. Something to hold us over from this insane music drought would be incredible.

Yes, that photo is from Finneas home studio ofc and he actually posted from there the same day, so it felt really deliberate.

But they were both seen also in NY last week, unless these people are lying, and this vegan restaurant is minutes away from EL Studios. Could be unrelated since they can and probably have other side projects going on besides BE4. One thing is for sure they're definitely cooking up new music, which is great news fr.

I lowkey believe the Ari x Billie rumors too but I'm waiting for one more hint before I start freaking out. It would be perfect timing, something to keep us fed while she focuses on The Bell Jar and the album.

Another interview from FINNEAS, he said that they're in the middle of making an album and she is shooting a film

At this point im convinced Ari x Billie is real and they're premiering it at one of Ari's shows in LA right before Billie goes to Toronto to film for The Bell Jar

The streaming party thing only being Team Ariana with BET and no other artist's fan account, plus that studio pic dropping right in the middle of the streaming party is making me super suspicious, something has to be cooking. This may very well be delusion on my (our) part but things are lining up a little too perfectly for this not to happen idk

Ariana x Billie collab would be BEYOND INSANE. And coming before BE4 to create even more hype, but i don't know, i need more cluess

First shows this weekend 🤞🤞, although it could be a June 19 release with the live debut right after

That "controversy" was ******* stupid. It also affected NDA perception, which is one of her best songs! Just jobsless people in the internet with nothing better to do.

I won't forget how they switched once the album was released and the title track was getting praise.

And it's not even close.
She's in a league of her own.

(Sure OR is slowly catching on but as soon as BE4 era starts - and possibly other projects we dont know about yet - she will keep this distance easily)

They both are so huge, but people forget lately that HMHAS did 74M with only 10 songs which is literally a higher average. Billie also has nearly 60B on Spotify overall which is insane for 3 albums + EP.

And the fact that HMHAS was the album that hyped Billie even more .. BE4 may get close to 100M if they have an incredible rollout like last time

I'm not convinced yet, tbh I we need like one more piece of evidence. It would be perfect if BE4 is coming in 2027, since it's been wayyy too long of a wait for music right now. A cute verse on petal would heal us over until Q1 next year, at least..

she just surpassed herself

Edited June 17Jun 17 by Dash_inthedark

Even though this likely signifies two more months of drought, this is the start of an amazing new chapter for her and all of us in Billie world!
Wishing all the best to our girl on this upcoming journey as Esther Greenwood!
