Ever changed your hairstyle and posted it to Instagram? How many likes did the photo get? If you're Billie Eilish, you did that recently - and broke a world record in the process.
Billie took to Instagram to post a photo of her new blonde hair colour, and broke the record set by Selena Gomez on her 26th birthday back in 2018. The photo got to one million likes in six minutes, which has blown us away. Six minutes is the quickest time ever to get to a milli, proving Billie is unstoppable.
Billie's sported a few different hairstyles in the past, including ice grey and navy blue. This latest look takes over from having her hair black, with her roots dyed bright green.
It turns out this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, either. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Billie's hairstylist confirmed that she'd been working on this for six weeks. For those playing at home, that means she was wearing a wig at the Grammys.

Lisa wrote, "The process is real when you're doing it right. 6 weeks to get all the black out of her ends without damaging it, along with her following my strict haircare regime. We actually loved all the stages of lifting colour but the end result is [fire emoji.]"
Billie seems to have confirmed that she was wearing a wig at the Grammys, posting on TikTok showing off the black and green wig that everyone thought was still her real hair.
