Billie Eilish received the Music Innovator Award at the WSJ. Innovator Awards and used her acceptance speech to call on billionaires to donate more to charitable causes. She revealed that her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour raised over $11.5 million for The Changemaker Program, which supports organizations addressing food insecurity and the climate crisis. Eilish urged attendees, including Mark Zuckerberg, to show empathy and give back, questioning why billionaires hoard wealth. Zuckerberg reportedly did not applaud Eilish’s remarks.
