This photo was taken during Billie Eilish’s first tour since Covid. Her fans - nearly 20,000 of them - were packed in tight at Madison Square Garden, and the energy in the room was incredible. Everyone was screaming at a decibel you could feel in your entire body. When the lights finally went down, we got a glimpse of Billie standing above the stage as a lyric from “Happier Than Ever” rang out (You make me hate this city), and then poof! She disappeared. Finneas and her drummer Andrew Marshall began to play - faster and faster as the lights flickered, whipping the crowd into an even larger frenzy. Then all of a sudden the music paused, and Billie launched herself into the air, hovering for a millisecond before landing on the stage. The crowd went wild.
