Day one of The Governors Ball went off at Citi Field in Queens, New York on Friday night.
And Billie Eilish served as the headlining act for the 10th anniversary of the music festival, which was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 19-year-old singer performed some of her well known songs from her two studio albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021).
No doubt fans were pleased about her energetic performance but at one point Billie stopped the music to call out the music festival’s security for not ‘paying attention’ to the crowd watching her perform.

While performing Happier Than Ever, she said: ‘Security, why aren’t you paying attention?’
She began pointing out a certain area in the crowd though it remains uncertain what she was referring to.
‘Like, for real,’ the artist continued. ‘One job, please.’
She then finished off the break in action by asking her legions of fans ‘everybody good? are you okay?’ before the crowd cheered.
