Billie has an incredibly close relationship with her fans, believing they're all her friends. In an interview with Access Hollywood in 2018, she said: "The only reason you're there is because of them [fans] and it's the same with my friends and family, and the people I actually care about. I sort of just try and keep up with them as much as possible.
"At my shows I just try to, like, just talk to people and ask how their day was. I care about that part of them."
