\u201cTOUR\u2019S BEEN A DREEEAAAMMMMMMM,\u201d Billie Eilish captioned a set of pictures on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0from her concert the previous night in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yes, I can confirm the tour has been a dream \u2013 I had the privilege of being in attendance that night on February 8th in Pittsburgh at PPG Paints Arena. The show was Billie\u2019s fourth date on\u00a0Happier Than Ever: The World Tour<\/em><\/a>, which is taking the pop star throughout North America, Europe, and Australia during the bulk of 2022.<\/p>\n

When Billie Eilish released her second album,\u00a0Happier Than Ever<\/em>, on July 30, 2021, I had all sixteen songs on replay for three straight weeks. Though I am a biased, longtime fan of hers and have eagerly awaited a new era of Billie\u2019s music ever since she posted that record-breaking Instagram\u00a0selfie<\/a>\u00a0dramatically revealing platinum blonde hair, I can say wholeheartedly that both the\u00a0Happier Than Ever\u00a0<\/em>album and tour not only live up to the hype, but they surpass all expectations.<\/p>\n

The concert started with a bang, as Billie was catapulted out of a trapdoor in the stage and strutted toward the audience with her signature angsty stare. Thousands of fans screamed and jumped to their feet instantly as the intense drumbeat of the opener,\u00a0\u201cbury a friend,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0reverberated throughout the arena.<\/p>\n

Billie\u2019s 26-song setlist took us on a journey through her iconic catalog of indie, electropop songs, from her first SoundCloud hit\u00a0\u201cocean eyes\u201d<\/a>\u00a0to her sassy, hip-hop-influenced single\u00a0\u201cTherefore I Am.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0She swayed gracefully to the seductive\u00a0\u201cBillie Bossa Nova\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and led fans in moshing together during the EDM banger\u00a0\u201cOxtyocin.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of the show revolved around strobe lights, beat drops, and heavy basslines, but the 20-year old singer-songwriter also included some calm, more intimate moments for her fans throughout the show. She often took pauses in between songs just to talk to us. Before performing her hit single,\u00a0\u201ceverything i wanted,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Billie asked us to record videos with our phones away from our faces. \u201cI want to see your eyes,\u201d she told the screaming crowd of supporters with an affectionate wave. This attitude of fan awareness was evident a few show dates later in Atlanta when Billie\u00a0stopped her concert<\/a>\u00a0to help locate an inhaler for a fan who was struggling to breathe.<\/p>\n

Another special moment occurred when Billie\u2019s older brother Finneas joined her at center stage with his guitar, as they played and sang the acoustic, haunting ballad\u00a0\u201cYour Power.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Finneas, who co-writes and produces all of Billie\u2019s music with her, was welcomed warmly by fans who adore the siblings for their close bond and successful musical partnership.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The concert concluded with electric performances of\u00a0\u201cbad guy\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cHappier Than Ever,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0quite possibly Billie\u2019s two most successful songs thus far in her career. Watching Billie run around the stage waving goodbye to her fans and soaking in the love brought me to tears. In my opinion, there is nothing more special than watching an artist in their element, doing what they love to do most in the world. It is abundantly clear that Billie Eilish was born to be a performer, but even more evident is the immense appreciation and gratitude she has for her fans. I truly felt blessed to be in the presence of an artist whom I so deeply admire.<\/p>\n
