Billie Eilish Thanks Her Fans For Support While Accepting AMA for Artist of the Year

Billie Eilish walked away with the artist of the year award at the 2025 American Music Awards, and in a remote acceptance speech, graciously thanked her fans for allowing her to make music.

Jon Batiste awarded Eilish the artist of the year plaque at the AMAs on Monday (May 26) night, and in a heartfelt video message, she shouted out her supporters for showing love to her.

“Oh my God, artist of the year, this is so crazy,” Billie said. “I feel speechless, thank you all so much I love you so much. I wish I could be there tonight, I’m on tour, getting to see you all over the world. Thank you to the AMAs, thank you to the fans, I know you voted for this. This means the world to me. I am so lucky to get to do what I do, and to do it with you! I love you all so much, thank you guys.”

Eilish had to accept the award virtually because she’s on tour in Europe, where she made waves online thanks to a stunning performance of Radiohead’s “Creep” in Amsterdam. Earlier in May, Eilish delivered a rendition of the rock band’s signature hit, accompanied by two backup vocalists and an electric guitar player. However, the musician spotted something in the distance that caused her to laugh, and she was unable to stop. Still, the haunting performance was well received by everyone in the audience.

Check out the full speech below.

The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
