Billie Eilish turned the LA28 Handover Celebration into a beach party extravaganza! Picture this: Billie, the 22-year-old Grammy wizard, belting out her tune “Birds of a Feather” from the top of a lifeguard tower like a pop queen on vacation. And yes, this majestic moment was broadcast during the 2024 Paris Olympics Closing Ceremony—talk about a worldwide beach party!
Her partner-in-crime, Finneas, popped up beside her, as always, like the sidekick in a musical superhero duo. If you’ve ever wondered how much Finneas loves his sister’s gigs, just imagine him as her number one fan with a backstage pass.
Oh, and speaking of the Closing Ceremony, it was basically the Olympics’ way of saying “See ya later, Paris!” with a bang. H.E.R. took the stage to serenade everyone with the US national anthem, while French band Phoenix had a musical soirée with special guests galore. And, just when you thought things couldn’t get crazier, Tom Cruise showed up for a stunt that might’ve included an Olympic-worthy leap or two.
From the sunny shores of LA, the legendary Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked out, making sure the transition from Paris to Los Angeles was as epic as possible.
And just a little side note: Billie and Finneas were decked out in Polo Ralph Lauren. Because nothing says “Olympic handover” like high fashion!
