Bryce Hall criticized Billie Eilish for what she described as elitism, after a clip surfaced of the Grammy-winning artist appearing upset by the presence of TikTok stars at Sunday’s People’s Choice Awards.
In a clip circulating online, the singer-songwriter, 22, had been chatting with fellow singer Kylie Minogue, 55, when she appeared to utter the words: “I’m like, there are some… TikTokers here.”
On Monday, Hall, a 24-year-old TikTok influencer, took to the platform to respond to the perceived snub stemming from Sunday’s event at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
“I’m just going to address this clip of Billie Eilish being upset by the TikTokers who were on People’s Choice,” she said. “I was one of them.”
The Ellicott City, Maryland, native continued, “First of all, Billie Eilish, I am so sorry for not recognizing your greatness and bowing down to you as another human being.”
