Overview

• At her July 26 Dublin show, Eilish said she felt “so seen” because “everybody looks exactly like you” and “you’re all just as pasty as me,” tying the moment to her Irish roots.
• She added that “a thousand” of her relatives were likely in the crowd, a remark that many fans found endearing and authentic.
• On X, some users accused the singer of xenophobia or racism for focusing on complexion, arguing the comment was tone-deaf.
• Supporters and context from the uncut footage emphasize Eilish’s self-deprecating humor about her paleness rather than targeting Irish people.
• With the European leg concluded, Eilish is set to launch the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour in September while teasing a 3D collaboration with James Cameron.
