It often feels like there’s a whole world between celebrities and us regular folks, almost as if it’s impossible to get anywhere close to the stars we admire so much.

Well, unless you're a fan of Billie Eilish.

If you haven’t been keeping tabs on the 'Ocean Eyes' singer on Instagram, then you might've missed a chance to get a backstage pass into her world.

You see, the 22-year-old singer just blew the minds of her 115 million followers by letting them into what might be the most exclusive area of her life.

Let’s break it down a bit.

On Instagram, you can either share content with everyone, like photos, reels, and Stories, or you can share with just a select group on your Close Friends list.

This special list is usually reserved for a user’s real inner circle, letting them see more personal Stories.

I mean, wouldn't it be a dream to be in that inner circle with Eilish?

Guess what? She just casually added all her followers to her Close Friends list this Thursday, April 4.

And you can bet fans have been absolutely freaking out since they found out.

The 'What Was I Made For' chart-topper first posted a pic showing a hand against a night sky backdrop, and the savvy ones spotted that little green badge at the top, signaling they were in on the Close Friends action.

Someone else paired a video of the iconic Trisha Paytas chilling with a cardboard cutout and quipped, "Me and Billie Eilish after she added me to her close friends."

Then there was the person who put up a pic of Cillian Murphy holding an Oscar and wrote: "How I feel after seeing myself in Billie Eilish's Instagram close friends."

And don't forget the fan who said: "Opening Instagram and pretending that Billie Eilish personally put me on her close friends list."
