Billie Eilish took full advantage of the coincidental intersection between her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour route and the countryside trail this weekend when she performed in the key swing state of Georgia.
Eilish played two shows at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and during her first show there, on Nov. 2, she stopped the performance to address the crowd. “Times are really scary and a lot is at stake and I know that if you're in this room and you support me, you support women,” Eilish said (via a video shared by the Democratic Party). “I hope that you will vote for Kamala Harris.”
Back in September, Eilish and her brother/collaborator, Finneas, officially endorsed Harris and Tim Walz in a video shared on Instagram. Eilish said she was backing the Democratic nominees “because they are fighting to protect reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.”
Finneas added: “We can't let extremists control our lives, our freedoms, and our future. The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote and elect Kamala Harris.”
On top of the endorsement, Eilish also allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use her song, “When the Party's Over” in a nationwide ad about reproductive rights. The “Monster” clip featured a Kentucky woman named Hadley Duvall who, at the age of 12, became pregnant after her stepfather kidnapped her. While Duvall, as she said in the clip, “had options,” she continued: “Because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wadegirls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose, even for rape or incest. Donald Trump did this. He took away our freedom.”
Amidst her light stumping for Harris, Eilish has extinguished this fall on her Hit Me Hard and Soft trek, which launched in September. The Atlanta show's marked the start of the final North American leg of the tour, which is set to end next month with five hometown shows in Los Angeles.
