Bryce Hall slammed Billie Eilish for what he described as elitism after a clip surfaced of the Grammy-winning artist in which she appeared annoyed by the presence of TikTok stars at Sunday’s People’s Choice Awards.
In a clip circulating online, the singer-songwriter, 22, had been talking to fellow singer Kylie Minogue, 55, when she appeared to utter the words: ‘I’m like, there’s some here… TikTokers .’
On Monday, Hall, a 24-year-old TikTok influencer, took to the platform to respond to the perceived slights resulting from Sunday’s event at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
“I’m just going to talk about this clip of Billie Eilish being disgusted by TikTokers who were at the People’s Choice,” he said. “I was one of them.”
The Ellicott City, Maryland native continued, “First of all, Billie Eilish, I am so sorry for not recognizing your greatness and bowing to the fact that you are a different person.”

Hall literally bowed to honor Eilish, adding, “There, there it is,” before revealing that the awards show organizers had contacted him and his fellow influencers.
“People’s Choice personally invited us,” Hall said. “Everyone who attended People’s Choice and sat at those tables, we were invited by People’s Choice. So hate them.”
A number of prominent TikTok personalities attended the Southern California event, such as Tana Mongeau, Gigi Gorgeous, James Charles, Chris Olsen and Alix Earle.
Hall wrapped things up in his clip by saying that the “saddest thing” about the story was that he was a huge fan of the singer and her work.
Hall then wrote on Twitter: “This is my formal apology for the recent drama in my response to Billie Eilish.”
The tweet contained the words “I’m sorry,” written in the Notepad app.
Eilish kicked off Sunday’s broadcast on NBC when she won TV Performance of the Year honors for her work on Swarm.
Eilish was nominated for her role as Eva in the Prime miniseries against a group that included Meryl Streep, Ayo Edebiri, Matt Bomer, Adjoa Andoh, Storm Reid, Steven Yeun and Jon Hamm.
