She only performed for her fans and even protested against Texas' abortion law. A video of Billie Eilish's performance from Austin has been surfacing on the internet. In the video, the singer can be heard saying, "When they made that s**t a law, I almost didn't want to do the show because I wanted to punish this f***ing place for allowing that to happen here," on the ACL Fest stage at Zilker Park on October 2. She continued, "But then I remembered that it's you guys that are the f***ing victims, and you deserve everything in the world. And we need to tell them to shut the f*** up." "My body, my f***ing choice," she added.

Billie Eilish seemed to have enjoyed her performance as she took to her Instagram handle to share a series of photos. The singer donned a grey coloured baggy t-shirt with checked shorts. She completed her look with several items of accessories and white sneakers. Sharing the photos, Eilish wrote, "last night was f***ing crazy. one of my favourites." The singer also shared a photo in which the background screen read, "Bans off our bodies."
