Billie Eilish responded after losing 100,000 Instagram followers in one hour
Although losing 100,000 followers is a drop in the ocean for a music star with tens of millions of them, it's still quite a blow when it happens in just 60 minutes.
Billie Eilish lost this huge chunk of supporters on Instagram a few years back, simply because she posted a photo.
Within just an hour, a whopping 100,000 people clicked the unfollow button after casting their eyes upon what the 'Birds Of A Feather' singer uploaded online.
Eilish, 24, showed off some of the stuff in her sketchbook back in 2020 while taking part in a 'post a picture' trend that was popular on the social media site at the time.

When prompted to share a picture of 'a drawing she is really proud of', she uploaded a snap of some risqué illustrations she had rustled up.
Eilish seemed to be focusing heavily on the female form during this drawing session, as she had sketched out depictions of boobs and bums.
She then cheekily captioned the post: "These probably lol I love boobs."
Which is hardly shocking stuff, given the millions of other people also share the same opinion - but apparently, at least 100,000 don't.
After sharing the image to her Instagram Story, tens of thousands of people unfollowed Eilish in what appeared to be a protest against her sexy sketches.
One of her loyal fans clocked this and subsequently shared a screenshot to X showing the dramatic drop in her follower count...and Eilish herself then shared a response to the mass exodus.
Again taking to her Instagram Story, the Grammy-winner wrote: "LMFAOOO y’all babies smh."
The hitmaker has never been one to shy away from taboo subjects and previously discussed what she described as her 'favourite subject matter' in an interview.
The pop star was asked what she likes to do to decompress, to which she simply responded: "Sex."
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Eilish continued: "I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That’s literally my favourite topic.
"My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way."
Eilish also lost a similar number of followers in June 2021 after she shared a snap from a photoshoot she did with British Vogue.
Later that year, she told Elle USA that she lost '100,000 followers just because of the boobs' that were on display during the seductive photoshoot.
If you were wondering where she currently stands, Eilish boasts 126 million followers on Instagram.
