At her final show of the year, the musician treated the crowd to a classic Christmas tune in her signature style
On Saturday evening, Billie Eilish took the stage at the Kia Forum for the fifth time on the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour — and for her final show of 2024. During the final stretch of the set, the musician serenaded the sold-out crowd with a performance of the classic Christmas song “O Holy Night.”
“I’m not religious at all, I just love Christmas so much,” Eilish told the audience. “O Holy Night” was her fifth holiday song selection. At her other Kia Forum shows, she performed “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Silver Bells,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and “Silent Night.”
Each night, the chosen Christmas song was slotted into the set around the time that Eilish performs “Ocean Eyes” and “Lovely.” For the final Los Angeles show, she also treated the audience with a medley of the two songs plus “Bored” and “idontwannabeyouanymore.”
Eilish will resume the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour when the Australia leg begins in February. The tour, which began in September, is scheduled to extend through July. The singer is nominated across six categories at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on Feb. 2. If the night goes her way, Eilish could be heading back on the road with trophies for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and more.
“I feel like this album is me,” Eilish said in her Rolling Stone cover story earlier this year. Hit Me Hard and Soft marked her first full-length release since 2021’s Happier Than Ever. “It’s not a character. It feels like the When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? version of me. It feels like my youth and who I was as a kid,” she added. “This whole process has felt like I’m coming back to the girl that I was. I’ve been grieving her. I’ve been looking for her in everything, and it’s almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. I don’t remember when she went away.”
