Singer Billie Eilish discussed going from goth to blond in a recent interview.

The singer has gone through a few transformations. “2019, that period of my life when I dyed my hair green, I was completely unstoppable,” she said in an interview with LA Times.

At that time of green hair, things were on an upswing. “I felt like I was on the moon. And I remember at the time being like, I'm finally happy. I'd never been happy before, and I just wanted to stay happy,” she shared.

COVID took a damper on the green hair era. “COVID happened. Another album happened,” she said. “I got older and fell back into being a human and not being happy all the time — having good moments and having bad moments. Last year got really bad. I just kept being like, ‘God, I miss 2019 so much. When can my life feel like that again?'”

She decided to go blonde partly due to her Happier Than Ever album. It would be a new shift from the edgy goth look that propelled her to stardom.

“At first it was fun,” she said. “I was really excited for the blond era — like, Blond Billie is gonna be so cool. But it did not go how I wanted it to go,” the Grammy-winner said.

She added that her hair felt like a costume, and she was losing her identity due to it.

“I completely had no idea who I was,” she said. “I came up with this whole aesthetic, and I just got swallowed up into it.”

Billie Eilish eventually cut the blond hair short. She returned to her black hair, which surely helped restore her creativity.
