Billie Eilish said she’s been vegan since 2014. At the time, she was 12 years old. Eilish went vegan after learning about the meat and dairy industries.
“Once you know about that kind of thing and you see it it’s really hard to go back,” Billie said in an interview with Vogue. “And, even now, while I have many friends that eat dairy and meat and I don’t want to tell anybody what to do, I just can’t go on in my life knowing what’s going on in the animal world and not doing anything about it.”
“I went vegan like four years ago,” she wrote in a 2018 Tumblr post. “There were a lot of reasons. I love animals, and I just think there’s no point in creating something out of an animal when the animal is already there. Leave animals alone.”

Billie revealed in 2018:
“Becoming vegan wasn’t like a huge deal for me because meat was never a thing in my life. It wasn’t like I missed meat it wasn’t like I had something to miss.”
In 2019, Eilish appeared on Sean Evans‘ Hot Ones, where she ate vegan wings with spicy sauces.
Teamed with Nike on sustainable sneakers
In 2022, the pop star partnered with Nike to launch a new vegan sneaker and apparel collection.

The monochromatic sneakers are made from 20% recycled materials and are 100% vegan. Sye said it’s been overwhelming and exciting to create the shoes.
“I love how they make you feel,” Billie said about the sneakers in a video for Nike. “You can kind of do anything in them. I love these shoes and I love the way they make your legs look.”
Billie launched her own vegan chocolate bar
In 2021, the California native released a vegan chocolate bar that shares the name of her album, Happier than Ever.

All ingredients are 100% organic certified. However, the chocolate is made in a German factory that also makes milk-based products, so it has a warning that it is “not suitable for people with a milk allergy.”
Opens a vegan Italian restaurant
In 2023, Eilish opened a vegan Italian restaurant in LA alongside her producer brother Finneas O’Connell and restaurateur Nic Adler.

The menu is inspired by the Mediterranean and is described as “fresh, beautiful, and delicious.”
“What’s really cool about Argento and Crossroads, and Donut Friend, is that they’re not branded as ‘vegan,’” she told the Los Angeles Magazine. “Vegan is for everyone. You don’t have to be vegan to eat vegan. The world is much better than it was.”
She turned London’s O2 Arena 100% plant-based
In 2025, all vendors at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena went plant-based for Eilish’s shows, which were part of her Hit Me Hard And Soft tour. All meat-based meals have been duly removed from the menu.

The plant-based dishes included Jude’s ice creams, corn naan, peri-peri “halloumi” wraps, burgers, pancakes, pizzas, chipotle tacos, and more.
The singer also encouraged fans to travel to shows using public transport.
