Billie Eilish just made her feelings on extra-long shows, erm, known! As Page Six was the first to report, the singer spoke on Stationhead about her plans for touring Hit Me Hard and Soft, and said she'll be keeping things short. Billie also made it clear (without naming names) that she's very much not here for shows that run three hours.

"I'm not doing a three hour show, that's literally psychotic," Billie said in a clip that's making the rounds on Taylor Swift fan accounts. "Nobody wants that. You guys don't want that. I don't want that. You know what I'm saying? I don't even want that as a fan. Even my favorite artists in the world, I'm not trying to hear them for three hours. You know what I mean? That's far too long."

It should be noted that Billie didn't mention Taylor directly and a lot of artists put on long shows! That said, the timing of these comments come as Billie and Taylor have been in what the New York Times described as "a digital arms race" to take the No. 1 spot on Billboard. The newspaper notes that Taylor "pre-empted the release of Eilish’s album last week with three special digital editions of Tortured Poets," which Billie followed with a special edition of Hit Me Hard and Soft. They've since both released additional bonus tracks in what the New York Times calls a "chess game." We'll find out who takes the No. 1 spot next week, so stay tuned.
