Is Jack Antonoff Mocking Billie Eilish?

Buy Me A Coffee

The internet is having a full-blown existential crisis over whether Jack Antonoff threw some not-so-subtle shade at Billie Eilish in a recent interview.

Jack, the 40-year-old mastermind behind Bleachers and the secret sauce in Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey’s success, showed up on the Today Show and dropped a comment that’s got fans more divided than a pizza with pineapple.

During his deep dive into the soul-crushing world of songwriting, Jack said, โ€œItโ€™s hard to write unless youโ€™re really compelled, and sometimes what compels you is way more serious things. I never feel likeโ€ฆ You donโ€™t hear a lot of great songs about like, oneโ€™s lunch order.โ€

As if that wasnโ€™t enough to stir the pot, he added, โ€œSo the things you donโ€™t really understand and cause you pain are usually things worth writing about.โ€

Enter stage left: the internet, which immediately grabbed its pitchforks and torches. An account on X (formerly known as Twitter, but letโ€™s be real, itโ€™ll always be Twitter in our hearts) posted a snippet of the interview and called Jack a โ€œweirdoโ€ for allegedly shading Billie.

Cue the internetโ€™s version of a gladiator arena. Some fans jumped in, ready to defend Billieโ€™s honor, while others were busy sharpening their knives for Jack. But a good chunk of the crowd pointed out that Jack didnโ€™t drop Billieโ€™s name like a bad mixtape.

One user, wielding the wisdom of a New Jersey native, proclaimed, โ€œJack Antonoff is from New Jersey. If he wanted to shade someone, heโ€™d do it straight up. That manโ€™s just talking about a turkey sandwich or something. Yโ€™all need to relax.โ€

To back up their argument, they whipped out four of Jackโ€™s tweets where he creatively refers to Kanye West as various types of โ€œb-tch.โ€ Classic.

And for those wondering, Billieโ€™s song โ€œLunchโ€ isnโ€™t about sandwiches, salads, or any other midday meal. Itโ€™s actually about her attraction to women. So much for that theory.

Stay tuned. If we learn more, weโ€™ll be here to fan the flames of this internet wildfire.
