Pop Superstar Billie Eilish Performs in Philadelphia 76ers Shirt
It is not rare for the world of basketball and music to mix together. Mostly, it is the genre of rap that makes its influence felt on the court and vice versa.
Mostly, teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors get all the attention. But the Philadelphia 76ers have their fair share of fans as well.
We have already seen how Lil Dicky had an influence on Paul George choosing to leave Los Angeles for Philadelphia.
More recently, Billie Eilish performed while wearing an iconic Sixers shirt. She got a shoutout from the 76ers on social media , who posted a picture of her onstage, complimenting the attire.
Eilish performed at the Wells Fargo Arena, home of the 76ers, this weekend during her concert tour and came out wearing the retro Sixers gear.
Still just 22 years of age, Eilish is one of the biggest names in music right now. On Spotify, only The Weeknd and Bruno Mars have more monthly listeners than her right now.
Eilish has an impressive 104.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify as of October 24. Only three artists have more than 100 million right now. Just for context, Taylor Swift, who has been the centre of the NFL world for the past year, has 91.3 million.
Eilish's music has not only brought her commercial success but critical acclaim as well.
She has won nine Grammy awards and even a couple of Academy Awards. Eilish is also the first person born in the 21st century to win an Oscar.
