Billie Eilish is calling out artists for re-releasing their music in various hard copy forms — and while she doesn’t names names … many are taking this as a shot at Taylor Swift.

She says … “We live in this day and age where, for some reason, it’s very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging … which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money and gets them more.”
Billie continues … “I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is. It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right, and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable.”
She adds, “[A]nd then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making f***ing 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.”
Billie finishes by saying it’s irritating to her that some artists seem to care more about their numbers — and their bottom lines — by continuously partaking in this practice.

If you’re unfamiliar … Taylor is notorious for releasing multiple versions of her albums — something her fan base eats up at every opportunity. Other artists do this, too, of course … but Billie certainly seems to be taking aim at T-Swift here, that’s the feeling anyway.
BTW, Tay Tay is already set to do this again … dropping 4 versions of her new album soon.
Billie herself has also released various hard copy versions of some of her work — but she’s gone out of her way to make sure vinyl records are made with recyclable materials, and that the packaging she uses is eco-friendly herself.

Sounds like Billie’s got a bone to pick here … and many are perceiving this as a not-so-subtle bashing of Taylor’s business model. Makes ya wonder … new beef alert???
