Ariana Grande recently dropped the deluxe edition of Eternal Sunshine, and while fans were expecting some surprises, one thing they definitely weren’t expecting was… well, nothing. Specifically, Billie Eilish not being on the album. For weeks, rumors had been swirling that the two artists would be collaborating, but when the deluxe edition tracklist was revealed, Billie was nowhere to be found.

Now, rather than sit in disappointment, the internet did what it does best: made jokes. And let’s just say the reactions were nothing short of iconic.


Billie Eilish Hidden Feature? Fans Think So

The confusion started when whispers of a Billie x Ariana collab made their way across social media. Fans speculated, theorized, and convinced themselves that Billie was going to be the mystery guest on the deluxe edition. But when the final tracklist dropped, it became clear that Billie Eilish was as present on the album as a ghost in an abandoned house completely invisible.

Cue the chaos.

A fan sarcastically commented:

“She’s definitely a hidden feature!”

We love an Easter egg moment, even if it’s just our own imagination running wild.

Another user joked:

“Shhhh it’s a hidden feature.”

Listen, if we all collectively close our eyes and pretend, maybe the song will magically appear. That’s how music works, right?

But not everyone took the news so well. Some fans were ready to start a full-blown protest over the absence of Billie Eilish.

One disappointed fan dramatically declared:

“SHUT UP DELETE.”

When denial and grief hit at the same time.

Another (@Hor_ton) wasn’t feeling too generous about the situation:

“Now I hope it flops.”

Ouch. That’s a little harsh, but hey, heartbreak makes people say crazy things.

Of course, there was still a tiny glimmer of hope left. One user optimistically suggested:

“BUT SHE COULD BE A HIDDEN ARTIST!!!”

The kind of delusion we can all get behind.

Meanwhile, some fans just shrugged it off and moved on with their lives.

User (@ordinaryth1ngs) simply stated:

“we moved tho……”

A healthy approach, honestly.

And then some were just in pure disbelief.

One person summed it up with a classic:

“No way.”

Truly, the five stages of grief are in action.

At the end of the day, Billie Eilish is not on Eternal Sunshine (deluxe or otherwise), and that’s just something we have to live with. Whether this was all a case of overhyped speculation or just wishful thinking gone too far, one thing is for sure Ariana Grande’s fans have some of the best reactions on the internet.

Maybe next time, the rumors will actually turn into reality, and we’ll get the collaboration everyone has been hoping for. Or maybe this is just one big lesson in not believing everything the internet tells us (but where’s the fun in that?).

Until then, fans will have to make do with their imagined versions of a Billie Eilish x Ariana track. And who knows? Maybe if we manifest it hard enough, we’ll hear a remix drop out of nowhere. Until then, we’ll just be here, listening very, very closely for any hidden Billie Eilish vocals in the background… just in case.
