Just before Christmas and the end of this decade, James Corden released one last carpool karaoke segment with Billie Eilish. A lot is covered in the 17-minute segment: The two sing “Bad Guy,” “8,” “Ocean Eyes,” “All Good Girls Go to Hell,” and Eilish also covers The Beatles’ “I Will” and Justin Bieber’s “Baby.”
Corden got Eilish to really open up about how she felt the first time she met Bieber, her celeb crush, at Coachella this year. “Well, if I could be honest with you, for like all Coachella weekend, I was like, ‘Don’t surprise me with Justin Bieber. I can’t take it. I can’t have to do this show, and Justin Bieber is going to be there.’ And so we go to see Ariana [Grande], and I was just standing there, and we were just watching the set, and I was rocking out because I love Ariana, and I saw—because I know what Bieber looks like, I know his body language, I know how he stands, I know where he wears his pants, so I look over and just was like,” Eilish stiffened with her eyes wide. “And he just stood there. He didn’t even come near me. He just stood five feet away from me, just perfectly still, and he just was like,” Eilish then stared at Corden intensely. “And he had the face mask so all I could see were his eyes. But they were his eyes.”
Corden made an “Ocean Eyes” joke, then more seriously said, “You just see his eyes, and you lost your brain.”
“He lost my brain,” Eilish replied. Then they sang “Baby” a cappella, and Eilish had the rap memorized.
Other great moments include the two visiting Eilish’s childhood home where she showed Corden her brother Finneas’ bedroom where they recorded her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. She also introduced him to her pet spider, and he was not having it. Watch the full episode below:
