Billie Eilish sent Barbie fans into hysterics by playing the film’s closing ballad What Was I Made For? in her headline set at Lollapalooza.
As well as giving the song its live debut, the 21-year-old’s performance in Chicago had other highlights such as opening with Bury a Friend and closing with the trio of hits: Everything I Wanted, Bad Guy and Happier than Ever.
There was also room for an acoustic section of the show in between set one and set two where she played stripped-back versions of I Love You, Your Power and TV.
Eilish wore a Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls basketball jersey for the performance and had previously said the set was partly solar-powered by intelligent, zero-emission battery systems.
