Billie Eilish<\/strong> turned into a total fangirl on Tuesday night when she interviewed Ariana Grande<\/strong> at a special screening of Wicked<\/em> — an event that’s part of the musical’s Oscar campaign.<\/p>\n

As Variety<\/em> reports<\/a>, Ariana told the audience that she personally requested Billie for the interview, but thought, “She\u2019s not gonna say yes. She\u2019s too busy. She\u2019s too fabulous. It\u2019s too much.” However, Ari added, “She said \u2018Yes,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Oh, s***. Now I\u2019m so nervous.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Billie told Ariana that she’s such a fan that on YouTube, “you can find old interviews of you from like 2014 with Billie Eilish comments like, \u2018I\u2019m Team Ari.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“I used to call you \u2018Ari\u2019 to my brother [FINNEAS<\/strong>],” she added. “And he\u2019d be like, \u2018Don\u2019t call her Ari, you don\u2019t know her!’\u201d\u00a0 Billie also gushed that Ariana is “one of the greatest singers of our generation,\u201d but when Ariana tried to return the compliment, she cut her off: \u201cThis is not about me, ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the conversation, according to <\/em>People<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0the audience members asked Ariana and Billie to sing a duet. “We do need to do that,” Ariana responded, but then explained that Billie was on vocal rest due to her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, and so was she.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s true. I do want to do that though,\u201d Billie said, with Ari adding, \u201cMe too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana is nominated for her first Oscar for Wicked,<\/em> but Billie already has two, both for best original song.<\/p>\n
