Oh baby, baby! At iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS FM 2019 Jingle Ball on Friday, Billie Eilish<\/a><\/strong> paid tribute to none other than Britney Spears<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old singer wore a T-shirt and basketball shorts bearing the teen pop princess-turned-queen’s likeness and name while performing at the event, which took place at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Gen-Zer Billie may be unfamiliar<\/a> with Van Halen<\/strong> and<\/a> Hilary Duff<\/a><\/strong>, but she knows and loves her Britney.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Billie was simply returning the favor; In June, Britney posted on Instagram<\/a> a video of herself dancing to Billie’s “Bad Guy” while recreating her iconic “I’m a Slave 4 U” choreography from the 2001 MTV VMAs. The teen, who was born three months after that ceremony, commented, “OMG.”<\/p>\n

The Jingle Ball took place less than two weeks before Billie turns 18.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s really hard to navigate your teens and let alone navigate them as a person with a lot on their plate, with a lot to do. I think she’s done it incredibly well and I’m just really proud of her,” her brother, fellow musician, songwriter and producer Finneas O’Connell<\/strong> told E! News exclusively at the show. “I couldn’t imagine a person turning 18 with more to be proud of.”<\/p>\n

Billie was also jointed at the event by her parents.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Other performers at KIIS-FM’s Jingle Ball included Camila Cabello<\/a><\/strong>, Lizzo<\/a><\/strong>, Katy Perry<\/a><\/strong>, BTS<\/a><\/strong> with special guest Halsey<\/a><\/strong>, Sam Smith<\/a><\/strong> with special guest Normani<\/strong> and Louis Tomlinson<\/a><\/strong>, who replaced French Montana<\/a><\/strong>, who was recently hospitalized over concerns for his cardiovascular health, and is now on bed rest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Lizzo stepped on stage wearing a pair of Daisy Dukes and a Santa-like coat.<\/p>\n

“Close your eyes and say, ‘I love you, me,'” she told the crowd. “Now look at me and say, ‘I love you, Lizzo. Now this is a very no judgment crowd, no shame in your game. If you want to wiggle, I want to see you wiggle. If you want to laugh, then laugh. If you want to scream, scream!”<\/p>\n

Later in her set, she told the crowd, “Thank you for accepting me for who I am. I want to let you know that if 20,000 people can accept me for who I am, the whole world can fall in love with you.”<\/p>\n

Celebrity attendees included Jamie Foxx<\/a><\/strong>, former Real Housewives of Orange County<\/em> star and newly single<\/a> Meghan King Edmonds<\/a><\/strong>\u2014who attended with a girlfriend, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> stars Kyle Richards<\/a><\/strong> and Teddi Mellencamp<\/strong>, The Bachelorette<\/em> alum Hannah Brown<\/a><\/strong>, The Bachelor<\/em> alum Chris Soules<\/a><\/strong>, Bachelor Nation couples Caelynn Miller-Keyes<\/strong> and Dean Unglert<\/strong> and Ashley Iaconetti<\/strong> and Jared Haibon<\/strong>, plus Jason Priestley<\/a><\/strong> and Sarah Michelle Gellar<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The singers showed each other much support; Lizzo bopped her head to BTS’ music. Halsey danced, sang along and air-drummed to Katy’s performance of “Firework.” Louis danced backstage to Camila’s performance of “Havana.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
