What's remarkable about this surprise turnaround for Eilish is that in choosing toher body, she's emphasizing the exact same message she was while obscuring her figure before she was legally an adult.
Eilish, however, is taking ownership of her body, her sexuality, her presence by choosing how and when to show herself. And what made the moment even more impactful was that she chose to share this monumental statement live with her fans, and with an accompanying spoken-word statement that read like poetry.
It's the reality of being a woman at any age past puberty. It's an incredibly heavy load to bear, and one that most women and girls shoulder in silence. Eilish is not and has not been most women since her time in the public eye. This is an incredibly brave choice she's making, and such a strong way to make it.The whole segment, from the video itself to the accompanying vocal soundtrack is as beautiful and powerful as any music video or track from her album.
