Singer Billie Eilish’s screed at Sunday’s Grammys telecast felt like a blast from that past. She used her podium time after winning Song of the Year honors for “Wildflowers” to protest ICE agents rounding up illegal immigrants.
“And as grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land.”
Had Billie Eilish uncorked Sunday’s speech six years ago, the reaction would be near-unanimous praise.
Brave. Powerful. Stunning.
Necessary.
