Everybody, even huge pop stars, has that one person they would absolutely lose it over if they met them in person. For a long time, Billie Eilish had Justin Bieber at the top of her list. But now they’ve become friendly and, in case you missed it, over the weekend, Bieber, 32, made Eilish’s tween dreams come true when he invited his self-proclaimed superfan onto the stage to serenade her with his 2009 song “One Less Lonely Girl.”
It was clear from the hugs and laughter that Eilish, 24, was having the time of her life, and her mom, Maggie Baird, confirmed it in a sweet Instagram note honoring the special relationship between her daughter and Justin.
“One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do,” wrote Baird in the post, which featured a picture of Billie hugging Justin with a giant smile on her face, as well as the footage of Eilish losing it as she stumbled and fell to her knees while making her way to the stage for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.
“But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert),” she continued of her daughter, who has been a Belieber for half her life. “Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible. I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey who makes so many things wonderful and possible♥️♥️.”
Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, responded with a “❤️ you guys!” in the comments, followed by a “so special.” In other pics, Baird hugs Eilish after the special on-stage moment and mom and daughter fangirl together over Justin’s show from the audience. Later, Eilish — who has spoken in the past about how Bieber offered her advice and friendship early in her career — provided an update on her emotional state following the life highlight moment: “can’t stop crying,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on Sunday accompanied by a pic of her laying in bed with red-rimmed eyes.
