Even though superstar Billie Eilish is an LA native, this week, New York is all about her. Ahead of three sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and a sure-to-be show-stopping Saturday Night Live performance, Billie is ready to give fans an even closer look at the immersive world within her latest album, with the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Merch Pop-Up, presented by American Express.ย
Fans know very well that Billie doesnโt just release an album; she builds a narrative world around it. From the haunting, dreamlike quality of her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, to the introspective, deeply personal vibes of Happier Than Ever, her eras are like chapters in her own creative story. Each one has a distinct tone, look, and feeling that fans are invited to explore. HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is no exception. Billieโs latest era encapsulates the push and pull of extremes in her life. From the albumโs title to its sonic landscape, she leans into a mix of vulnerability, softness and intensity. The album is a balance between those tender, emotional moments and the harder, bolder edges of her music.ย
In the same way that Billieโs albums never stop at just sound, this pop-up doesnโt either. Think limited-edition clothing, accessories, and exclusive Billie-branded gear that you wonโt find anywhere else. Much of the merch is exclusively branded with NYC touches, ensuring that fans have the perfect outfit for the NYC leg of the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT tour. The collection is designed to mirror the contrasts in Billieโs music, so expect pieces that range from bold and edgy to soft and understated. Fans will be able to grab the hottest new drops that align with the aesthetics of her โHIT ME HARD AND SOFTโ tour and album. If youโre a collector, donโt sleep on these one-time-only piecesโtheyโre bound to sell out fast.
Of course, no pop-up is complete without photo ops. American Express and Billie have teamed up to create interactive spaces where you can live out your best Eilish-inspired photo moments. Recreate the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT album cover, experience a super cute photobooth, and even open up a door to reveal a height-accurate visual of Billie herself.
