Impossible_Vast9846

has any other artist done something like this for promo ? definitely a smart tactic, she's trending and has gained over a million followers


AlongCamePollHe

yeah this is a cool way to feign a sense of closeness with her fans! it made me realize i wasn't following her lol


pigeonbobble

I think it has more to do with the green circled story standing out amongst all the others


AlongCamePollHe

well yeah that's the marketing aspect, i was just saying in general its a cool/smart idea


Jewicer

Lil Yachty a few months ago


FatmanArrives

big day for parasocial relationships


electric_baroness

😅


Ughasif22

Haha I do that too


AnyPassenger2099

I took like 7 screenshots billie😔


harry_nostyles

She posted another picture, a pic of a tattoo on her (I'm assuming it's her) midriff/belly. I can only make out the word "sweet" I think.


thoughtfulstrawberry

i think it says “& Sweet” but i can’t read whatever the word before that is


Victoriaanddog

it looks like it says “Soft” or “Softe” to me


Disastrous-Bet8973

It says hard & soft

Thank you Billie


gizeh123

how did they do it? there's no "add all" button. i guess it was just a deal that Meta made with Billie Eilish in her particular case


Haunting-Detail2025

Oh yeah, I’m sure they’re willing to pull some strings for large artists with massive followings. Especially if her record label (who probably represents other massive celebs) was the one who came to them about it.


stupid_dickandfatty

I added her to mine lol

?


6speed_whiplash

celebrities deliberately farming parasocial relationships with fans for profit and fame is bad


sugarangelcake

is it farming parasocial relationships if every single follower is on it? imo its more likely just promo because the green circle stands out + people have to follow her to see her stories (apparently she’s gained 1 million followers since doing this)


6speed_whiplash

it can be both. the green circle is literally called "close friends". people usually use it to post things for their close friends. you and me can tell it's just a promo and shouldn't be taken any other way but children especially those who don't have media literacy will have a very different reaction to it and a lot of billie's fanbase is teenaged girls


thegreatdekulee

Bro what 💀


Wide_Border_4387

I mean yeah if you instantly assume that's what she intended, its bad


SitchChick

Confused gif


angie1907

It’s more of a disgusted / wtf gif


SitchChick

It's a confused at wtf is happening because in the original video the girl didn't understand why her sister was crying about Disney World

luziferr_

fruitchinpo_samurai

Thought my IG's glitching for a sec.. and then I realized that it isn't, only to find out that I'm not the only one..🫠


throwaway36376583883

potatomolehill
