In 2019, when Billie Eilish was just 17 years old and still in the midst of her iconic green-haired phase, she was already wary of graphers. As the "Bad Guy" singer left "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," she was booed by onlookers calling out for her signature (via YouTube). Shaken by the backlash (and the slew of expletives thrown her way), Eilish posted an explanation on Instagram. "If you watch the video, it literally looks like I'm walking by a bunch of fans and completely ignoring them and not saying hi to them, which is not at all what happened," she shared in a story, which was later referenced by Teen Vogue.
"I didn't sign anything. It's something that I don't do because I used to, but I realized all anyone did was sell everything that I signed, so I stopped doing that," she continued. According to the "Ocean Eyes" hit-maker, she would much rather give out hugs especially since you can't re-sell them. In recent years, it seems Eilish has broken her "no autographs" rule, though — she put pen to paper for fans waiting outside NBC during her week hosting "Saturday Night Live" in December 2021. Today, there's no shortage of signed Billie Eilish posters listed on eBay. If you want one for yourself, all you need is $300.
