Billie Eilish says she went through some serious friendship woes at the start of her singing career.

While appearing on Mondays episode of BBCs Miss Me? podcast , the Ocean Eyes crooner, 22, shared that her friendships took a hit when she rose to stardom as a teen.

Well, I lost all of my friends when I got famous, Eilish told co-hosts Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver. I suddenly was famous and I couldnt relate to anybody. It was tough. It was really hard.

Eilish was only 14 when her hit tune Ocean Eyes ignited the internet, and her debut EP came out just two years later.

The pop star did clarify that while her other pals began dropping like flies, her best friend, Zoe, never left her side. Shes pretty much the only person that remained, Eilish said.

The Grammy-winning artist recalled the surreal moment at her 20th birthday party when she realized her only friends were actually her employees.

I remember looking around the room, and it was only people that I employ, she said. And all 15 years or more older than me.
