Billie Eilish didn’t realize that she was coming out in a recent Variety interview, explaining that she thought it was “obvious” that she likes girls.

While being interviewed on the Variety red carpet, she said that she “didn’t” intend to come out in the article. “I kinda thought, ‘Wasn’t it obvious?'” the singer said. “I just didn’t realize people didn’t know.”

Eilish continued, saying, that she doesn’t “believe in” the concept of having to come out. “I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops.”

“I saw all the articles [and] was like, ‘Oh, I guess I came out today. Okay cool,'” she said. “But it’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know. I am for the girls.”

Following the red carpet event, Eilish posted to Instagram, writing, “thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares stream ‘what was i made for.'”
