If you follow the career of Billie Eilish, you know she pushes interesting boundaries.
I’m not talking about sexual boundaries like Madonna or Lady Gaga, but more troubled, mysterious kinds of boundaries. And she was only 14 in 2015 when her first single, “Ocean Eyes,” dropped!

With her funky personal style and darkly twisted music, she’s become a phenomenon over the last three years. And honestly, there is no end in sight.
You may have caught her appearance on the opening episode of the new Saturday Night Live season, giving excellent performances of “Bad Boy” and “I Love You” (accompanied by her brother Finneas).
Did you miss her “Bad Boy?” performance? Well, she channeled Lionel Richie’s “Dancing on the Ceiling” and the audience went nuts.
Here’s a snippet to explain:

How did she do it?
She must be a witch or something.
Not quite. Cinematic trickery was used to make it appear she could walk on walls.
Here’s how it was done! Justin Theroux, who was in the audience videoed his perspective.
See how the stage moves, allowing Billie to walk the wall?
The camera remained fastened on the initial plane while the stage itself spun. The TV audience wasn’t privy to the behind-the-scenes view, but the in house audience was.
Here’s the full performance to gawk over!

Pretty neat and very appropriate for this particular musical genius.
If you’re dying for more Billie Eilish, look her up—you won’t regret it!
