Billie Eilish is changing her lifestyle for the better.
Coming fresh off of her World Tour for “Happier Than Ever”, the singer spoke with Zane Lowe for Apple Music about the way her life has changed after the big event.
Eilish, who shot into mainstream success in 2016 with “Ocean Eyes”, said that her approach to live shows and her lifestyle in general has changed for the better.
“I’ve been completely changing the way that my life is involving fitness. I’m a gym rat now. When did that happen, I don’t know. But it did,” she shared. “And I’ve been working really hard. And it started with, ‘I can’t get injured anymore. I can’t do it.’ Not going to let myself live like that, because I lived like that for years. It sucked. I was like, ‘No, no, no, I can’t get energy drained anymore. That can’t be part of my life anymore. I’ve got to figure it out.'”

She revealed she began taking her workout regimen seriously in May of this year.
“I started working out at a gym for the first time, and every day. I know a lot of people do that, but that was not a thing I did. And it’s become such an incredibly huge part of my life,” she continued. “And it makes me feel so much better as a person, and the way that I can move on stage now, I feel like so much better.”
Eilish decided to make these lifestyle changes in large part due to the injuries she used to incur while performing live.
“I used to go on stage and be like, hope I don’t break my leg today, or hope I don’t twist my ankles and sprain my whatever,” she recalled. “I literally would start the show wherever I was like, ‘wonder what’s going to get injured today.'”
