Billie turns 18 today (Dec. 18) and she gifted fans with a clip featuring footage of her musical prodigy years.
Billie Eilish celebrated her golden birthday a bit early on Tuesday night when she posted a throwback video montage of her younger years in advance of turning 18 on Wednesday (Dec. 18). The clip opens with a pint-sized Billie shoving her face into the camerannouncing, “Hi, my name is Billie and I’m going to play a song that I made up with this guitar.”
It is, of course, adorable, as the guitar is almost as big at Lil Bill,but also a poignant look back at her lifelong musical collaboration with older brother Finneas, who makes several cameos along the way. Cued to her song, “8,” the montage jumps from a sea of cameras held up at one of Eilish’s sold-out arena shows, to footage of her as a toddler playing a toy piano, then graduating to banging on the keys ofan upright piano as her parents chant her name and clap encouragement.

As she grows older Finneas comes into the picture, sliding ontothe piano bench alongside her, playing keyboards as the pre-teenperforms at what looks like a talent show and strumming a guitar at one of her recent gigs. It’s all very cute, but also a very nostalgic, sweet peek at a precociously talented teen who seemed destined to arrive where she is now. The Billboard Woman of the Year winner also received some b-day love fromPrettymuch’s Zion (“I got goosebumps”), Avril Lavigne (“Ahhhhmaaaaazzzing ——–“) and Miguel, among others.
