preview for Billie Eilish’s Epic Response To Reporter Calling Her Emo!

Billie Eilish may already have an Oscar for Best Original Song, but it seems like she’s on track for a Best Actress award as well.

On Thursday, March 16, the singer-songwriter announced her surprise acting debut in Swarm, Prime Video’s latest psychological horror series. Created by actor Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, the thriller follows a young woman named Dre, whose obsession with world-famous pop star Ni’Jah takes a dark and twisted turn when she goes to extreme lengths to feed her infatuation.

Billie shared a clip from her appearance on Instagram, and we have *chills.* The scene depicts a chilling conversation between Billie’s character, Eva, and Dre, played by Dominique Fishback. Dre reveals that she sees “milk spilled on the carpet” and when asked by Eva what the color of the milk is, she responds, “Red.” (Spoiler alert: it’s definitely not milk.) Eva menacingly asks Dre if she’s hurt someone, to which she replies, “Yes.”

“Very good,” Eva answers. Omg. ????

Apart from her name, the details of Billie’s character remain hush-hush. According to IMDb, she appears only in one episode. We see another quick glimpse of her in the series’ teaser trailer, from which we learned that she has a penchant for snapping. But the wait to find out has been short-lived. Season 1 of Swarm, which also stars Chlöe Bailey, Nirine S. Brown, and Karen Rodriguez, is now streaming on Prime Video.
