Billie Eilish is the new Queen B? B not Bey though. She said so herself - she no Beyonce. But she a queen all throughout her Coachella 2022 performance. She did such an amazing, considering she is the youngest artist to headline this festival.
Billie Eilish became the youngest artist to headline the Indio, Calif., music festival on Saturday - but took a minute to acknowledge 2018 headliner Beyoncé.
"Thank you, Coachella! I'm sorry I'm not Beyoncé," Eilish, 20, told the crowd.
"I love you, goodnight," were her sweet parting words.
Earlier in her set, the "Bad Guy" singer quipped that she "shouldn't be headlining this s-t," adding that she was "so f-king grateful" for the opportunity to perform on the renowned stage.
"This is such a dream come true," she exclaimed. "I feel crazy."
Eilish also detailed her "three rules for the night" at one point, which included refraining from passing judgment on others, refraining from being a "a-hole," and simply "having fun, bitch."

Beyoncé, 40, headlined the event earlier in 2018, putting on a career-defining performance that included a Destiny's Child reunion, spectacular dance sequences by Les Twins, and cameos from husband Jay-Z, sister Solange Knowles, and others.
Eilish, for her part, welcomed a few of surprise guests to the stage over the weekend, including Gorillaz member Damon Albarn and Khalid, who collaborated on the song "Lovely."
"This is the craziest s-t I've ever experienced. [Damon] changed my life in a lot of ways, and changed my view of what music and art and creation could be," she said before the pair sang Gorillaz' hit "Feel Good Inc."
Eilish's performance came one night after Harry Styles' headline set. The former One Direction star sent fans into a frenzy when he brought out country star Shania Twain for a surprise performance of "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!"
Styles, 28, said of Twain, 56, "This lady taught me to sing." He then joked that Twain also taught him that men are quite the "trash."
Later in the act, he joked, "We've got 12 minutes left... of dancing," before adding, "I may be quick at some things, but this is not one of them."
Her fashion was on point. It screamed both Coachella and comfort. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter wore an enormous white t-shirt with brown graffiti-style lettering to the show. She paired it with a pair of white spandex shorts that were similarly tinted with brown and terminated mid-thigh. She completed her ensemble with white Nike knee pads that had been discolored brown, white Nike stockings, and matching footwear. The singer's long black hair fell to her shoulders, and her bangs almost completely obscured her eyes.
Two little pigtails emerged from the crown of her head, almost straight up from her unkempt haircut. Eilish accessorized with a lot of chains worn as pendants around her throat and long gloves that exposed her fingertips while clinging to her forearms.
