Billie's been open about having Tourette Syndrome.
As Billie started gaining more exposure for her music, people started creating and uploading compilation videos of what they believed to be Billie's physical tics related to Tourette Syndrome. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that's characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. The compilation videos moved Billie to open up about her experience living with the disorder in her own Instagram stories, but she also talked about her experience while visiting Ellen. Billie said opening up about the disorder has helped her better connect with fans. "I think I also really learned that a lot of my fans have it, which made me feel kind of more at home with saying it, and also I felt like there was a connection there," she said.
Billie's a Belieber.
Billie has been open about being in love with Justin Bieber since she was about 12. "That was like my first love. That was the person I was in love with, in my head he was in love with me, it was like a relationship with a person," Billie said about Justin in a radio interview with KROQ.
She met him for the first time at Coachella and the moment was as cute as you probably imagined it to be.
Billie's obsessed with The Office.
Billie's made it clear that The Office is her favorite show of all time. She even used samples from the episode "Threat Level Midnight" in her song, "My Strange Addiction." Billie proved just how much of a stan she is when getting quizzed by actor Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on the show.
Billie's been vocal about issues she cares about.
In 2018, she appeared in a campaign with the mayor of Los Angeles to try to get young people to register to vote. "As young people we have to own and use our power to make a difference. When we go into the voting booth, it's about deciding who will lead America into the future," she said in the Facebook ad.
Billie's also been vocal about the U.S. changing abortion laws, saying women should have the choice to do whatever they want with their bodies. "Women should say, should do, and feel, and be exactly what they want. There should be nobody else telling them how to live their life, how to do shit. It just makes me so mad that if I start talking about it, I won’t stop. Men should not make women’s choices — that’s all I have to say," she told Variety during the ASCAP Pop Music Awards.
Billie's songs made it onto the 13 Reasons Why soundtracks.
Billie's song "bored" is featured on the season 1 soundtrack, while her collaboration with Khalid, "lovely," is featured on the second.
