Katy Perry Admits to Missed Opportunity with Billie Eilish: Katy Perry has recently shared a video on TikTok, posted by KISS FM, where she admitted that she missed out on the opportunity to work with the pre-famed Billie Eilish. Perry shared that she did not think much of Eilish's early work when she first heard it, saying, "He sent me an email one time that was hey, check out this new artist I'd really like us to work with her because she was working with me. It was just a blonde girl and I was like man, boring steak."
Ocean Eyes, a song released by Eilish in 2016, helped launch her to superstardom and went triple platinum. The singer later went on to win multiple Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year, alongside her brother and co-producer, Phineas.
Billie Eilish never expected to blow up so soon, as she revealed in a 2020 Grammys interview with Access Hollywood. She shared that she and Phineas never dreamed they would be at the top of their game, saying, "I never would have thought this would ever happen in my life so I'm incredibly grateful."

When asked about her experience at the Grammys, Billie expressed her excitement at performing in front of Ariana Grande and Beyonce. She said, "That's all I've been thinking about...and Beyonce is front row. Honey!"
In conclusion, Perry may have missed out on the opportunity to work with Billie Eilish, but in hindsight, she recognizes the mistake. On the other hand, Eilish never expected to reach the level of success she has today and remains grateful for her accomplishments.
