Billie Eilish’s mother Maggie Baird recently shared an emotional message thanking Justin Bieber. She posted a series of photos on Instagram from the second weekend of Coachella, where Bieber performed and shared a special moment with Billie on stage.
In her post, Maggie described the experience as very meaningful for both her and her daughter. She spoke about how children often form strong emotional connections with artists they admire. She explained that parents usually cannot do much beyond supporting those interests in small ways.
She wrote, “One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do. But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert). Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible”.
She also thanked Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber for their support. “I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey who makes so many things wonderful and possible (sic)”.
During his performance at Coachella, Justin Bieber invited several artists on stage. These included Sexyy Red, Billie Eilish, and SZA. He performed a mix of songs from his career, including tracks like Go Baby and All I Can Take.
Billie Eilish has often spoken about how Justin Bieber influenced her music journey. The two first met at Coachella in 2019 and later worked together on a remix of her song Bad Guy.
SZA also joined Bieber during the performance to sing Snooze. They had previously performed the song together at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles during her tour with Kendrick Lamar.
The recent Coachella performance highlighted the ongoing connections between these artists and showed how earlier influences can turn into real life collaborations over time.
