Billie Eilish may have given one or two fans a special moment in the Vienna public transport on Friday.

US superstar Billie Eilish, who will be performing today, Friday, at the sold-out Wiener Stadthalle, has spread a message for her fans via the Wiener Linien. With the introductory words "Hi Vienna, this is Billie Eilish!" the 23-year-old calls for climate-friendly travel to the concert using public transport, reported the transport company in a press release.

Eilish follows Schwarzenegger

"Public transport is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get around in Vienna," says the message from the successful singer, who was just recently named "Artist of the Year" at the American Music Awards (AMA) in Las Vegas. Eilish is, so to speak, the second star in the lineup of the Wiener Linien this week with a climate message. Just on Tuesday, Arnold Schwarzenegger thanked for the "commitment to a healthy planet" on the occasion of his climate summit "Austrian World Summit".

According to the press release, Eilish's climate announcement can be heard on all lines and at all stations.

And anyone who happened to be near a vegan ice cream parlor in Vienna-Neubau yesterday, Thursday, might have had the chance to see Eilish in person: As Universal further reported, she was said to have been spotted there in the early evening. The reason: Ice cream flavors inspired by the ten songs of her third album "Hit Me Hard and Soft" are offered here.
