Billie Eilish isn’t letting a threat from Kanye West change her playbook at concerts — she’s still making sure her fans are safe and sound, and didn’t hesitate to stop her show again … this time in NYC.
The singer was performing at Madison Square Garden, when at one point she took a breather, and then asked the crowd to do the same — bringing down the energy in the room.
Not just that … but BE also asked folks who were near the front row to step back and give each other room, again keeping their well-being at the front of her mind prior to proceeding with whatever song she had next.

Doesn’t sound like too many people minded … in fact, based on the reactions we can hear on camera — it seems they might’ve actually appreciated it and sounded more than happy to oblige.
Billie finally asked if everyone was all good … and after that, she started to strike some chords on her guitar, getting the crowd pumped once more.
You’ll recall, she did something very similar a few weeks ago in Atlanta — when she brought her concert to a full stop over a fan who appeared to be in distress … even going so far as to offer her an inhaler she had on hand.
Billie also said she likes to guarantee her fans are safe at her shows … which was widely perceived as a shot at Travis Scott, even though she never explicitly said his name. Ye, for sure thought it was a jab, and threatened to pull out of Coachella — where Billie’s also headlining — if she didn’t apologize to Travis.
For the record, she hasn’t apologized and, instead, seems determined to make it a thing to chill out and check on fans. There are some big festivals coming up in the near future — it’ll be interesting to see if other artists follow suit.
