Billie Eilish has hit back at online criticism over photos of her at this yearâs Met Gala pointing out she wasnât even there.
The annual fashion extravaganza took place on May 5, and while Eilish, 23, has been a standout at previous galas (even becoming the youngest-ever co-chair at 19 in 2021), she gave this yearâs event a miss due to her ongoing world tour.
That didnât stop artificial intelligence from putting her there however â or some fans from falling for it.
The What Was I Made For? singer is currently in the midst of her Hit Me Hard and Soft world tour and was performing in Amsterdam at the Ziggo Dome on May 4 and 5, with another concert scheduled for May 7. Logistically, it would have been near impossible for her to jet to New York and zip back to Europe in time.
Still, AI-generated images of Eilish at the Met Gala quickly began circulating online, drawing both attention and criticism for her supposed look.
Fed up, Eilish took to Instagram Stories to set the record straight.
âSeeing people talk about what I wore to this yearâs Met Gala âbeing trash.â I wasnât there!â she said in a video shared online on Wednesday. âThatâs AI. I had a show in Europe that night. Let me be! I wasnât even there!â
Eilish isnât the only celebrity to be virtually inserted into the Met Gala through AI. Katy Perry, 40, has also fallen victim to AI trickery â twice.
Fake images of the Roar singer recently made the rounds again for the second year in a row, prompting Perry to respond on social media.
âCouldnât make it to the MET, Iâm on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IR),â she posted alongside the AI-generated pics. âP.S. This year I was actually with my mom so sheâs safe from the bots â but Iâm praying for the rest of yâall.â
Katy Perry says she has also been victim of Met Gala AI photos

Just to clarify: pictures of Perry in space? Real. At the Met Gala? Not so much.
During one of her shows in Chicago on Monday, she spoke out on the incessant online trolling she has received, seemingly stemming from her participation in Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin flight in April.
In a video shared online by a fan, the sold out crowd can be heard cheering for her for an extended period of time.
âWell, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet," she said.
"I think that's false," she added, while the audience continued to audibly praise her.
