What did Billie Eilish say at the Grammys?
Billie Eilish attended the 2026 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles wearing an “ICE Out” pin on her coat. Along with her brother FINNEAS, while accepting the Grammy for Song of the Year for “Wildflower,” she hit out at the ongoing ICE raids.
The 24-year-old Los Angeles singer said, “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I have to say anything other than nobody is illegal on stolen land,” in her acceptance speech for “Wildflower,” which won the Grammy for Song of the Year. Billie Eilish donned an ‘ICE Out’ pin on her coat at the spectacular event dubbed ‘music’s biggest night’.
“And, yeah, it’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to fight and speak and protest and our voices really matter and people matter and damn ICE,” the What I Was Made for singer said.
