The third edition of the time capsule-themed Vanity Fair interview with 2020 Grammys nominee Billie Eilish is out. Starting back in 2017, the magazine interviewed Eilish on Oct. 18 of each year, asking the WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? artist to answer a similar assortment of questions.
Early into the 2019 edition, we learn that—in the years since the inaugural VF interview—Eilish has grown her following from 257,000 people on Instagram to 40.7 million. Asked to name "a famous person" in her phone, Eilish shouted out Khalid back in 2017. In the new one, that list is substantially longer, notably including Drake.
"Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber, Young Thug, Avril Lavigne, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla Sign, Teyana Taylor," Eilish said. "God, there's so many. But like, Drake? Come on. Drake? Drake is like the nicest dude I've ever spoken to. I mean, I've only like texted him but he's so nice. He does not need to be nice, you know what I mean? He's at a level in his life where he doesn't need to be nice but he is, you know?"
Drake was mentioned again when naming the "biggest thing to happen in your career," with Eilish jokingly throwing in "I have Drake's phone number" among recent career highlights like opening a new season of Saturday Night Live and selling out a headlining arena tour.
