.billieeilish's hometown concert last night was a true full-circle moment: 'I can't even believe that I'm here now'
. She could — and probably should — be filling arenas, but that's precisely what made Tuesday's show feel like a rare, lightning-in-a-bottle moment for the crowd of 6,300, who braved the venue's heat and stuffiness.

The next 75 minutes whizzed by just as kinetically, as the crowd — teens, parents, Emma Roberts,'s Creed Bratton, and all — matched Eilish's oscillating energy. They swayed to"ocean eyes," headbanged to"you should see me in a crown," and obliged every one of Eilish's requests to scream, jump, and crouch, no matter who you were .
For all of the quiet moments in Eilish's music — all that spine-tingling, pop-ASMR ecstasy achieved through snaps, whispers, and tongue clicks — subtlety is not really her thing. That rings true onstage as well, where the lights and visuals rival those of an arena act, especially for the closing number,"bury a friend." As red lights flashed all around her, Eilish went full-on— as it rose and fell from the rafters.
