'I paid to see Billie Eilish's UK tour but selfish fan ruined gig'
Many music fans dream of catching their idols live in concert, willing to splash out on tickets to hear their favourite tunes performed up close. Yet, one woman's experience at a Billie Eilish gig took an unexpected turn when she found herself unable to hear the star due to an unusual disturbance.
Ana, who goes by anapanaderoo on TikTok, went viral after posting a clip from the concert where an opera singer seemingly drowned out Eilish 's performance. The video, captioned "Who was singing opera next to me at the Billie Eilish concert?", showcases the moment Eilish's voice is overshadowed by powerful operatic vocals.
The footage has racked up over 400,000 views and sparked a flurry of comments from shocked viewers.
One person quipped: "Who's this diva (literally)?", while another remarked: "Out singing the singer."
A third commented in disbelief: "Is this real? I'm weak." Another shared their mixed emotions, writing: "I would be so mad, then laugh. Then be mad when it never stops."
One more viewer joked: "God forbid a Renaissance diva attends a Billie Eilish concert." Someone else lamented the high cost of tickets, adding: "With ticket prices these days, I would be so mad."
Billie Eilish, 23, is currently thrilling fans on her "Hit Me Hard And Soft" tour, and recently wowed crowds in Glasgow, with ticket prices reportedly ranging from £65.00 to a steep £160.00.
The US songstress first captured hearts in 2015 with her debut single "Ocean Eyes", penned and produced by her brother, Finneas O'Connell. Her subsequent EP, "Don't Smile at Me", released in 2017, became an international sensation, topping charts in the US, UK and Australia.
Her first full-length album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?", catapulted to the top of both the US Billboard 200 and the UK albums chart, becoming one of the hottest albums of the year. In 2020, Eilish lent her voice to the James Bond theme "No Time to Die", which soared to number one in the UK singles chart and snagged the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Eilish's meteoric rise has undoubtedly cemented her as a favourite in the UK music scene. Yet, concertgoers expect to experience her unique sound live, which is why Ana was left baffled when an operatic performance dominated her show experience, sparking a divide among fans.
One fan expressed their frustration, saying: "I like opera, but this would annoy me so much. Just want to see and hear Billie."
Another fan was less reserved, commenting: "Not to be one of those people, but this would p*** me off so bad.
"I came to see Billie. If I wanted to I'd have gone to the opera house to see Phantom of the Opera, but not this."
Another person chimed in with: "There's no need to be doing all that." However, some found humour in the situation, admitting they thought Eilish would find it "hilarious."

The moment Nico Echavarria hits stunning Scottish Open hole-in-one to bag swanky new car and VIP gift for lucky fan
The Colombian hero has secured a vehicle and fan could bag a dream holiday Nifty Nico Echavarria landed himself a spanking new car with a stunning hole in one at the Renaissance. The Colombian star hit the perfect shot to ace the par three Stadium Hole of the Genesis Scottish Open. As well as earning him an eagle for his card as he played alongside stars Tommy Fleetwood and Brian Harman, Echavarria scooped a brand-new Genesis GV60. The 30-year-old's magical shot also offered the opportunity for someone to win an all-expenses paid trip to Asia. The tournament sponsors arranged that the first fan to correctly predict the individual to bag the first hole in one of the week at the sixth would win a VIP experience and tickets to the Genesis Championship in Korea, including business class return flights and accommodation. Work immediately began to find if one had happened, but Echavarria himself is guaranteed the classy car and the Stadium Experience has been a huge success over the four days with punters and players lapping up the atmosphere. The par-three has been a must-go-to spot for fans at Renaissance with improvements to last year's set-up offering magical moments. As well as being fully enclosed with grandstands, screens and platforms, there has been a new children's area designed to take kids closer to their heroes. During the Wednesday pro-am, young fans were able to walk the hole with some of the stars of the event and even get the chance to hole a putt. Prior to the event, Genesis Brand Advisor Graeme Russell explained the key elements to the ideas as he said: 'Golf fans in Scotland and the UK are always very knowledgeable, very learned on the game, very respectful of the interaction with the players. 'So, we're really trying to create that family atmosphere and really welcome the next generation of golf fans. 'Someone who might be new to the game, or coming to a tournament for the first time, or follow their favourite player on social media, how can they engage and interact and feel part of the experience and atmosphere at the sixth hole. That's what we're really trying to do with the stadium seating which has improved this year, together with the new hospitality experiences. 'We'll have the Genesis public lounge and then the Kids' Viewing Zone and we're hopeful that, certainly on the pro-am days, the players will interact with the younger fans and create a real energy, a real buzz, a real sense of excitement on the tee and, hopefully, that the players will also respond well to that. 'I think you've got the location. It's in the middle of the front nine, it's close to the 18th, it's near the clubhouse, it's a natural gathering point, it's very easy to access for fans and there's a lot of other facilities and experiences around. 'The amphitheatre type effect starts at the tee and goes down both sides to the end of the hole, and we want fans of all ages with an interest in golf to be able to interact. 'I think introducing the next generation of golf fans is really important for the sport and having them able to witness their favourite golfers on a par-three where they can, ultimately, see the end result of the shot as well, compared to a par four or five where you may not know how the player finishes the hole. So, a lot of great stuff is going on there. 'We have a hole-in-one competition. Fans can sign up and, if the player that they select goes on to score a hole in one, then the player will win the Genesis GV60 car, and the fan will win a trip to the Genesis Championship in Korea, it's encouraging fans to have a stake in the action. 'I think you've seen comments from other tournaments, certainly at the Masters where the feedback is the fans and the patrons are part of the tournament experience for the players as well. 'They create the atmosphere, they create the setting, the backdrop that the players appreciate, . 'I think we've always felt that, if we look after the players, the caddies, and if they're playing well and enjoying the experience, that enjoyment translates to the fans and it comes back from the fans.'

Trolls said I was ‘greedy' after showing off my daughter's £350 Prada school shoes – but they actually save me money
Plus, more about how to get help with school uniform costs STEP TO THIS Trolls said I was 'greedy' after showing off my daughter's £350 Prada school shoes – but they actually save me money IN the world of parenting, every decision, from snacks to school runs, can feel like it's under a microscope - especially online. And for one mum, her choice of school shoes for her daughter sparked a debate, with trolls branding her "greedy." 1 The mum took to TikTok to share what shoes she bought her daughter Credit: TikTok/mumupnorth But as she reveals, there's a surprising, money-saving logic behind her luxury purchase. The mum, known on TikTok as @mumupnorth, recently shared a video that quickly went viral, showcasing her daughter's £350 Prada school shoes. However, the price tag immediately drew criticism, with many questioning if it was the correct thing to pay for as it's an item typically used for playground wear and tear. However, @mumupnorth was quick to hit back at the negativity, explaining the long-term thinking behind her investment. "My daughters £350 school shoes that broke the internet," she stated in her video, "she's had them for three years. I paid for quality shoes." She then directly compared her durable Prada purchase to more common, yet ultimately more expensive, alternatives. "Her friend must've had six pairs of Kickers in that time at £100s a pair," she highlighted. Her video has gained 913.1k views and 955 comments after two days of it being shared and there were mixed opinions. One wrote: 'Prada cups to school are greedy.' While a second added: 'You can afford expensive shoes, well done. 'Uniform, shoes, stationery - the lot!' Aston Merrygold's wife praises Primark as she nabs back-to-school haul for £47 'However a lot of families can barely afford school shoes from the likes of Asda and Tesco, let alone Clarks, Kickers, or in your case, Prada's. 'There's also the added cost of uniforms, especially secondary school, and the fact that kids' feet grow extremely fast and I'm constantly buying my son new shoes for that exact reason.' A third commented: 'I mean this Is what I want. If I pay more I want it to last forever. 'Not about names or logos. I'm a total minimalist. But I want it to be literally full of me.' And someone else said: 'Prada school shoes are the best!' £5 school uniforms A major supermarket chain across the UK has just unveiled an incredible school uniform bundle for an unbelievable £5, aiming to ease the financial strain of kitting out the kids for the new academic year. Available in stores from today, this fantastic bundle includes everything your child needs for a fresh start: two polo shirts, a sweatshirt, and your choice of either a pair of trousers, shorts, or a skirt. It's an all-in-one solution designed to make back-to-school shopping simple and affordable. For those needing individual items, the deals are just as impressive. You can pick up a comfortable sweatshirt for a mere £1.50, while trousers, shirts, skirts, or shorts are all priced at a budget-friendly £1.75 each during this sale. These prices significantly undercut many high street competitors, offering a much-needed lifeline for families facing the annual task of updating school wardrobes. This initiative is set to make a real difference, helping to ease the burden and ensure children are ready for school without parents having to break the bank.

Pregnant Olivia Culpo is mercilessly mocked over her excessive hospital bags
Pregnant Olivia Culpo has been mercilessly mocked online thanks to her excessive hospital bags. The model, 33, who is currently expecting her first child with husband Christian McCaffrey, took to TikTok earlier this week to share everything that she had packed to bring to the hospital with her when she gives birth. She confessed that she had filled up two enormous suitcases to the brim with stuff like an expensive robe, pillows, comforters, multiple outfits, and of course, a ton of hair and makeup products. And many viewers couldn't help but poke fun at how much stuff she was bringing. Olivia began the video, which got over 1.3 million views, by explaining that she had 'worked really hard' on picking the right items. She said she wanted to share what she chose to hopefully help other moms feel less 'overwhelmed' during the process. 'First time mom packing my hospital bag,' she said. 'I worked really hard on this, and I know how overwhelming the whole process is so I committed a while ago to making a video. 'I want to be a resource for people because I watched so many of these. And they're really interesting.' She explained that she had she packed 'two large suitcases,' one that had all her 'comfort stuff' and another filled with her 'essentials.' In the first, she explained that she had multiple pillows and blankets, including a twin-sized comforter. 'I am such a pillow snob so I knew I was going to need specific pillows,' she said. 'That's just a me thing. I don't know what the hospital pillows are like but I am not taking my chances. I need to get my beauty sleep, I'm gonna be a mom.' She also packed two sleep masks, two portable fans, a small light, some scented room sprays for 'aroma therapy,' a framed picture of her dog, Oliver, and a $184 Chasa robe. In addition, she brought two 'postpartum mom kits' from Frida Mom - 'one is for C-section and one is for vaginal birth' - and five fake candles. 'This is the most ridiculous thing, these are flameless, flickering candles,' she said of the latter. In the essentials bag, she had a nursing bra, nipple butter, a Boppy pillow for breast feeding, a Medela breast pump and Medela hydrogel pad, electrolytes, a lactation drink mix, and a water bottle. She also had a separate bag full of snacks, a professional camera and video recorder, headphones, chargers, and an extension chord. There was another bag that had all her makeup and hair products, which she said also included deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, and other hygiene 'basics' like that. In addition, the expecting mother packed six different outfits, slippers, slides, and shower shoes. Olivia explained that she also packed a small bag with baby stuff, which included three outfits, a notebook to document everything, a Barefoot Dreams blanket, swaddle, sound machine, placenta kit, and chord collection kit. 'A lot of this stuff is more luxury as opposed to essentials,' she reflected after she finished breaking everything down. 'I'm aware of that. 'I thought it would make my hospital stay more comfortable and I hope you guys find it useful. 'And if you didn't find any of this helpful and you think I'm ridiculous and that I overpacked - one, I slightly agree with you and two, you made it this far in the video, and I commend you for that.' Many viewers couldn't help but roast Olivia in the comment section. Many viewers couldn't help but roast Olivia in the comment section 'OLIVIA ARE YOU MOVING TO THE HOSPITAL?' one jokingly asked. 'Let me tell you, I didn't even open my hospital bag. I used everything the hospital provided,' shared another. 'I was in and out in 24 hours. Are you planning on staying a week?' someone else wrote. 'LOL are you camping in the hospital?' read a fourth comment. 'Is this is birthing vacation? I literally laughed out loud,' said a fifth. A different user penned, 'Omg are you kidding that is so much, you have to do another video and tell us what you actually used lol.' 'How long is she expecting to be there? Thats a lot of stuff,' someone else added. 'This is the best TikTok I've seen in months! I haven't laughed this hard in days! Please stitch this when you unpack,' another viewer commented. 'Holy moly… I had five kids and I don't think I brought that much stuff for all five births combined,' shared one shocked user. 'Times have changed since I had my baby in 2000. I rolled in that day with an outfit and blanket for the baby and left the next morning,' a different person wrote. In March, Olivia and Christian announced they were expecting their first child together and that Olivia was already six months pregnant. The couple, who have been dating since 2019 and tied the knot last summer in a lavish ceremony in Rhode Island, have yet to announce the gender of the baby.
