Billie Eilish has publicly refuted AI-generated images depicting her at the 2025 Met Gala, emphasizing that she was not present at the event as she was on tour in Europe. The singer addressed the misinformation on Instagram Stories, urging fans to stop criticizing a fabricated outfit, explaining that she was performing at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome during the gala.
