Many music fans dream of witnessing their favourite artists perform live, as there’s something truly special about experiencing beloved tracks in person, and some fans are willing to pay whatever it takes for that chance. Yet, a recent incident left one woman in Glasgow astounded when she attended a Billie Eilish concert only to find the performance drowned out by an unexpected source.
Ana, who goes by anapanaderoo on TikTok, shared her bewildering experience this week, and the video quickly went viral, leaving viewers astonished at what transpired during the show. In the video, Ana captioned over footage of the event: “Who was singing opera next to me at the Billie Eilish concert?”, and the clip then reveals Eilish’s vocals being completely overshadowed by an adjacent concertgoer’s operatic rendition.
The video has since amassed over 400,000 views, with thousands of comments from people who were utterly surprised by the occurrence.

One person commented: “Who’s this diva (literally)?”, while another remarked: “Out singing the singer.”
A third user questioned the authenticity, saying: “Is this real? I’m weak.” Another shared their mixed emotions, adding: “I would be so mad, then laugh. Then be mad when it never stops.”
Someone else also said: “God forbid a Renaissance diva attends a Billie Eilish concert.” One more also replied: “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. The star recently took to the stage in Glasgow, with ticket prices reportedly ranging from £65.00 to £160.00, according to reports.
The American singer-songwriter shot to fame in 2015 with her debut single “Ocean Eyes”, penned and produced by her brother, Finneas O’Connell. Her subsequent release in 2017, the EP “Don’t Smile at Me”, saw international success across the US, UK and Australia.
Her first studio album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, soared to the top of both the US Billboard 200 and the UK albums chart, becoming one of the best-selling albums of that year. In the following year, Eilish delivered the theme song “No Time to Die” for the James Bond film of the same name, topping the UK singles chart and securing the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022.
Eilish’s meteoric rise has clearly cemented her fan base in the UK, with a string of triumphs under her belt. Yet, concertgoers expect to experience her voice live when attending her performances.
This expectation led to confusion for Ana, who was greeted with an operatic performance instead of Eilish’s signature sound during the show, sparking a divide among fans.
One person remarked: “I like opera, but this would annoy me so much. Just want to see and hear Billie.”
Another expressed frustration, 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 individual chimed in with: “There’s no need to be doing all that.” However, some found humour in the situation, and speculated that Eilish would have found it “hilarious.”
