If you were wondering what Billie Eilish's main takeaways from 2024 are, then look no further as she's just revealed a few of her favourite moments from the last 12 months.
The 23-year-old songstress' career has gone from strength to strength over the last year, following the release of her third studio album and her global tour.
She dropped Hit Me Hard and Soft back in May and it has since become the second most-streamed album on Spotify of the year, beaten only by Taylor Swift's Tortured Poet's Department.
Her song 'Birds of a Feather' was the third most-streamed track too, so all in all, it's been a great year career-wise for Eilish.

For the eighth year on the trot, she sat down to discuss her continuing success with Vanity Fair - while also opening up about how she'd been just as lucky in love too.
The colour and style of Eilish's hair aren't the only things that have changed since her first sit down with the publication in 2017.
"This is the first year in my life that I keep forgetting how old I am," she laughed. "I can’t believe where my life has gone, and where it is now."
The superstar explained she was extremely proud of herself and her brother/collaborator Finneas for all of their achievements in 2024.

"I have the most monthly listeners on Spotify in the entire world," she gushed. "I released my album, went on tour again, I made so many new friends, adopted another dog - it's been a friendship-filled year.
"I and Finneas won an Oscar for 'What Was I Made For?' I can't even really describe how amazing that was, and then it was like we were the youngest people in history to win two, or something crazy."
Eilish then looked at footage from last year which saw her discuss her hopes for the future and some of her aspirations - most of which involved the risk of death.

She said she wants to tick off skydiving, bungee jumping and stunt driving, adding: "I really want to do stuff like that, things that I could die because of.
"I want to adventure so bad," she said. "I definitely want some more piercings, I want some more tattoos, another dog, be hanging out with your family, be making new friends, be having new friends, be having good sex."
The 'Ocean Eyes' singer then admitted that her had nailed most of her 2023 pledge to herself and had already got the 'good sex' thing sorted.
Eilish also announced she has reconnected with pals from the past too, having previously spoken out about how she 'lost all of her friends' after gaining fame, so this year, she wanted to work on that.

She explained: "I've done nothing but make friends all year and gotten so close with people that I wasn't with before, became friends with people I used to be friends with again, and just like...it's just been a year filled with friendship. Which honestly, even though I was saying a lot of things that I want to do, that was the thing that I wanted to do, and I really did it, and it was awesome.
"And yes, I've had a lot of good sex. So, you're welcome, Billie!"
Although we're not sure who's putting a smile on Eilish's face and satisfying her in the bedroom these days, it doesn't stop fans speculating about her love life.

The singer's sexuality has become a regular topic of conversation, much to her displeasure - while her song 'Lunch' and her presence on Charli XCX's remix of 'Guess' sparked a ton of speculation.
At the time, Eilish said: "That song [Lunch] was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real. I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after.
"I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years. It’s really frustrating to me that it came up."
Eilish also voiced her frustrations at the media for focusing so much on who she fancies, while opening up on the moment that she realised she liked girls.
She said: "I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand until, last year, I realised I wanted my face in a vagina.
"I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years. It’s really frustrating to me that it came up."
The star clarified that she liked both boys and girls in an Instagram post in 2023, which concluded with her saying: "Leave me alone about it please, literally who cares."
Eilish later told Rolling Stone that she had somewhat overreacted, but needed to take back control.
"The whole world suddenly decided who I was, and I didn’t get to say anything or control any of it," she said. "Nobody should be pressured into being one thing or the other.
"It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it’s really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are."
