Pop star Billie Eilish sparked backlash and ridicule after using her Grammy acceptance speech for Song of the Year on February 2, 2026, to push leftist talking points on immigration. “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” she declared, adding, “‘F*ck ICE’ is what I wanna say.” The crowd, including Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Kehlani, Samara Joy, Joni Mitchell, and Jack Antonoff, erupted in cheers, with many sporting “ICE OUT” or “BE GOOD” pins in a display of Hollywood virtue-signaling.
Critics swiftly called out Eilish’s hypocrisy, especially fresh off her $14 million Hollywood Hills mansion purchase. Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh quipped, “Land cannot be stolen if no one is illegal.” British journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer blasted her as a “blithering idiot,” urging her to “hand over her multi-million pound Malibu beachfront home to illegal migrants” if sincere. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) demanded: “Any white person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgement should immediately give his or her land to native Americans. Otherwise they don’t mean it.”
The Grammys turned into an anti-ICE rally, with Bad Bunny dedicating his speech to the cause: “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out.” This empty posturing exemplifies leftist elites’ disdain for borders and sovereignty while hoarding wealth on “stolen land.” As America enforces real immigration reforms, such celebrity hypocrisy fuels demands for accountability over open-border chaos.
