Eilish began herHit Me Hard and Softtour in late September. Once her North American shows are finished, she has dates scheduled for Europe and Australia from February onward.

During theBarbieworld premierein July 2023, Eilish toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat she has been getting hit on stage for “literally six years,” as she urged fans not to throw items.

“People just get excited, and it can be dangerous,” she explained.

“It’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there,” Eilish added. “I have mixed feelings about it because when you’re up there, it blows. But you know it’s out of love, and they’re just trying to give you something. You’re in a vulnerable position, but I’ve been getting hit with stuff for years.”
