Billie Eilish fans are showing their support for the singer after she opened up about wanting to show her body when she turns 18.
The singer told Elle magazine in an interview published Thursday that she wanted the option to "look desirable" after she turns 18, but was scared of how her fans would react.
"I know it would be a huge thing," she said in the interview, adding, "I know people will say, 'I've lost all respect for her.'"
But now, supporters of Eilish are rallying behind her on social media, posting supportive messages about the singer's style and decisions.
"It's her body and if she wants to change her style and uncover a bit once she's 18, it's her choice," a fan wrote on Facebook, adding, "[Eilish] shouldn't be reprimanded for it."
Multiple users had similar comments. "It's her body and she should be able to decide when and how she wishes to display it," another fan wrote.
Numerous fans praised Eilish for being true to herself.
"As long as you always stay true to who you are it shouldn't matter!" a fan said of Eilish's desire to show her body.
"You're so young, cool, and talented," another wrote. "Do you!"
One fan even credited Eilish for helping her daughter avoid revealing clothing.
"I kind of credit her for baggy clothes being trendy at the moment, and being able to find cute stuff for my preteen daughter that isn't skin tight or a crop top," a user wrote, adding, "so for that reason, I hope she keeps her current look a bit longer."
On Twitter, fans had similar reactions.
