Billie Eilish cannot stop thinking about New Zealand.
Honestly, I cant get it out of my head.
But Eilishs affection isnt contained to the southernmost country in Oceania: Shes also losing it over Australia.

Dude, its even good in the airport!
Its fortunate that the LA teen everyones buzzing about is a fan of traveling and airport grub.
So far, however, its been a pretty smooth ride.
Its just been beautiful and happy, which is kind of a first for a tour, she says.
A lot of time its really stressful, horrible, and evil and also amazing at the same time.
But everything is just kind of clicking on this one.
The joy shes experiencing on the road is a reflection of the work it took to get there.
It has been kind of shocking that people f with it, but also not.
I never expect anyone to like anything I do.
Since shes the same age, the responsibility of being their idol isnt lost on the young star.
Its not something to overthink, she says.
Otherwise, youll end up filtering yourself, she says.
Its fighting with the wrong tools.
Thats a surprising amount of perspective for a 17-year-old.
Her lyrics and ethereal, haunting vocals belie a much older and more world-weary writer.
Yesterday I was listening to Six Feet Under, which I recorded when I was 14.
I was just thinking,14?!
I had no clue I was a child.
But right now, Im like, This is so old; Ive never been 17 before!
Im actually really looking forward to making the next project, and everything thats coming, she says.
I dont know whats next though, bro.
Im just alive and doing what Im doing, and thats that.
Who can ask for more?
