'While I feel your stares, your disapproval, or your sigh of relief; if I lived by them, I'd never be able to move.'
On March 9, during the first night of her 60-stop tour, the Grammy winner wowed her Miami audience with a video interlude that addressed the commentary and body-shaming she’s faced for her fashion choices —The video, which features Billie removing her top and lowering herself into black water, played to a background monologue from the artist. In it, she asks us, “Do you really know me? You have opinions about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body.
The interlude ends as she disappears into the black water, addressing those that have judged her body directly. "Would you like me to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Taller?" she asks. "If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I shed the layers, I'm a slut." . “Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath," Billie said in the ad. The ad was released after a photo of Billie wearing a tank top has been circulating the Internet, causing many to comment on the then-17-year-old’s body.
