Billie Eilish<\/a>‘s brother and music collaborator Finneas O’Connell<\/a> has opened up about his ‘most cringeworthy run-in with a celebrity’ in an interview with The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Grammy-winning musician divulged that he had an embarrassing moment with Taylor Swift<\/a> at her 32nd birthday party.<\/p>\n

He confessed to the publication, ‘I said “Thanks for coming” to Taylor Swift. At her birthday party. She said, \u201cThank you so much for coming,\u201d and I said, \u201cThank you for coming!\u201d’<\/p>\n

The moment took place in 2021, when the now-35-year-old pop star threw a bash alongside the band Haim’s Alana Haim, whose birthday is two days after hers.<\/p>\n

Finneas previously opened up about the awkward ordeal in a 2022 Q&A with fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, he had been engaging with his Instagram followers when someone asked him to share ‘your most embarrassing moment.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Billie Eilish’s brother and music collaborator Finneas O’Connell has opened up about his ‘most cringeworthy run-in with a celebrity’ in an interview with The Guardian<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Grammy-winning musician divulged that he had an embarrassing moment with Taylor Swift at her 32nd birthday party<\/p>\n

Via Stories, he explained that he had ‘meant to say “thanks for inviting me” or whatever, obviously’ to Taylor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finneas sat down with The Guardian to promote his music with his The Favors bandmate Ashe.<\/p>\n

Another tidbit the hitmaker revealed about himself in the interview is his knack for impersonations.<\/p>\n

Asked what he’s ‘secretly good at,’ he said, ‘Impressions. And I\u2019m not doing one for you. The one I do the most is probably Benny Blanco.’<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the conversation he revealed if he could be on any reality television show it would be, ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with Ty Pennington. I loved Ty Pennington growing up.’<\/p>\n

And the star spilled the ‘best piece of advice’ he’s ever been given.<\/p>\n

‘A guy who\u2019s a mastering engineer once said to me, \u201cListen man, if something ever goes wrong, you just rock out.\u201d Just rock out, man. I sometimes think, damn, I really am doing that. I had a show recently where shit was going wrong, and I was like: time to rock out, dude. What\u2019s my alternative here? Oh, my flight\u2019s delayed four hours? Let\u2019s rock out, dude,’ he shared.<\/p>\n

In May, Finneas cast Kate Hudson in the music video for his song 2001.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finneas sat down with The Guardian to promote his music with The Favors bandmate Ashe<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram Stories afterward, he shared a note of gratitude for Kate, writing, ‘And Kate!!! Dream of dreams!!! Best actor, best person, thank you one billion times for doing this video w us!’<\/p>\n

The video was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and conceptualized by his longtime girlfriend Claudia Sulewski.<\/p>\n

Finneas gave her a special acknowledgement, writing via Instagram Stories: ‘Just a lil Claudia appreciation post – I asked her out of nowhere if she wanted to direct a video for 2001.<\/p>\n

‘I said, “You can do whatever you want, I don’t even have to be in it.”‘<\/p>\n

The sweet anecdote continued, ‘She was shooting a TV show at the time and trying to go to sleep early for a super early call time – I got into bed and she said “I think I have a good idea” and she had literally thought of the ENTIRE VIDEO.’<\/p>\n

Finneas has so far collected ten Grammys throughout his whirlwind career and collaborations with his sister Billie.<\/p>\n

Most recently the brother and sister earned four Grammy nominations at the 2025 ceremony for Billie’s Hit Me Hard and Soft album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Billie Eilish‘s brother and music collaborator Finneas O’Connell has opened up about his ‘most cringeworthy run-in with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[20378,236,98,88,52773,4915,2726],"class_list":["post-73909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-billie-eilish","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-finneas-o","tag-taylor-swift","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
