"Hailey [Bieber] said, like, one song before that she was gonna push me on stage for 'One Less Lonely Girl'," Billie revealed. "I just can’t even talk about it. So, my legs gave out is what happened."
"Also, nobody walked me on! They were just like 'alright go on your own.'"
Billie went on to confirm that she had a sneaking suspicion they were plotting because she'd "heard something" earlier that day.
"And then f---ing Hailey and Justin’s friend was standing next to me in the pit and he may have spoiled it a little," she said. "He goes, 'so are you gonna go up?' And I was like, 'what the hell are you talking about?,’ and he said, ‘you know, for 'One Less Lonely Girl?'"
"And I had to just decide that it was a life changing dream that me and everyone wanted to live and I can’t actually believe that I lived it. I can’t even think about it. I can’t even talk about it. I can’t even look at the videos, it’s too intense for me."
For those that don't know the lore about Billie and Justin, allow us to fill you in.
Billie has been a HUGE Belieber since she was a kid and grew up with posters of Justin splashed all over her walls. Over the years, she's also shared photos and videos of herself proving those Belieber credentials.
In 2014, Billie sent Justin a DM on Instagram and he finally responded to her in 2019 after she'd shot to fame. Billie then finally got to meet Justin for the first time at Coachella that same year (full circle moment!) after he approached her while they were watching Ariana Grande's set. The video quickly went viral thanks to her hilarious reaction
Since then, Billie and Justin have developed a friendship and he even jumped on a remix of 'Bad Guy'.
And now, she's finally reached the highest level of Belieberism by becoming thee One Less Lonely Girl. We LOVE that for her!
