Fans noticed Billie Eilish was missing from this year’s Met Gala — and now the reason has been revealed.
According to Elle, Billie Eilish skipped the 2026 Met Gala to focus on promoting her upcoming concert film, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D).
The singer co-directed the project alongside James Cameron, marking a deeper move into filmmaking and visual storytelling.
Eilish was recently in London for the film’s premiere while many celebrities attended fashion’s biggest night in New York City.
The concert film is scheduled for theatrical release later this month.
