Marina has reflected on what it’s like to have Billie Eilish as a fan, and explained that she finds it “flattering”, particularly when the “artist is amazing”.The comments were first made by Eilish earlier this year, when she took part in a discussion on Apple Music show Me & Dad Radio, and was asked to reveal which artists she finds the most inspiring.“I’m about to play Marina and the Diamonds, ‘Primadonna’.

I found this song because of a makeup tutorial. But it wasn’t for makeup, it was for a Halloween costume. And the song she used was ‘Primadonna’ by Marina and the Diamonds,” she said.“I was like, ‘This is such a weird song.

Her voice sounds so interesting’. I looked it up and was like, ‘Oh my God, this is my favourite artist ever.’ She was my favourite artist for years and years and years and all her albums I just… I know every lyric to this entire album and to like her next three albums or whatever, all of her albums from then, I know all of them.

They’re so good. She’s amazing.”She continued: “She, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj are the inspiration that I’ve gotten over the years, I love and adore them and have gotten so inspired by them.
