17-year-old singer, Billie Eilish, just lowkey shaded television host, Jimmy Kimmel, for intentionally "making her look stupid" on his show last week.
This tea is hot.
As always, she was an absolute delight.
But the real takeaway from the episode was that Billie, when asked, had no clue who Van Halen was.
“I’m gonna start crying,” Jimmy jokingly responded.
It's really no surprise that she hadn't heard of them.
Basically, the entire older audience of Jimmy Kimmel Live took to Twitter to complain that back in their day, they had to walk 10 miles to school every day, uphill both ways, in snow up to their knees, with no shoes and therefore Billie Eilish should know who Van Halen was.
To put things even more into perspective, Billie Eilish was born one year AFTER the release of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring".
Really think about that...
Or Shawn Mendes, or Halsey, or Ariana Grande — the list goes on.
I mean, Van Halen was trending on Twitter for the first time in, probably, decades.
It's the pop culture circle of life, baby.
She has the chance to never have to subject her precious ears to "Hot For Teacher" — a chance the rest of us never really had...
It was blown incredibly out of proportion.
Cause like, who does that, ya know?
After all, he did quiz her on 80s musicians, probably with the intent to watch her fail.
That sure sounds like it could be about Jimmy...
"A big thank you to my big brother Finneas," she added.
"We started making music together when I was 13 and he was 17; he produces everything."
How sweet!
