Billie Eilish’s Grammys performance has been slammed despite her ‘amazing’ Taylor Hawkins tribute.

People are taking to Twitter and saying the ‘Bad Guy’ singer left them ‘disappointed’ with her ‘bathroom break’ of an act on April 3.

One viewer tweeted: “Loud instruments doesn’t mean [a] performance.”

In agreement, a second said: “Billie Eilish is dreadfully boring #Grammys.”

“Was a bathroom break,” a third remarked.

A fourth pitched in, adding: “The only worthwhile performances of the night of the #Grammys were the amazing and beautiful #Lizzo #ArianaGrande #DemiLovato and #Rosalia. The show was boring as f***. FYI Billie Eilish is an overrated kid with no talent, any of the other artists deserve the award over her.”

However, others said they loved the tribute that Eilish made to Foo Fighters drummer Hawkins, who tragically died last month.

During her performance, it could be seen that the 20-year-old was wearing a T-shirt featuring his face.

Commenting on the tribute, a viewer penned: “I thought that it was a lovely gesture. I am sure that the Foo Fighters and Taylor’s family appreciate her kindness in remembering him in this small way.”

“Gorgeous and so appreciated,” a fan enthused.

Alongside weeping emojis, another added: “Billie Eilish in the Taylor Hawkins shirt.”

Although Eilish was nominated in seven categories for the 2022 Grammys, fans were left disappointed when she left the event empty-handed.

In both 2020 and 2021, the musician managed to sweep up the Record of the Year award.

Eilish wasn’t the only star to not receive one of the golden gramophones, as Justin Bieber, Lil Nas X and Brandi Carlile also didn’t receive an award.

Following the event, Eilish’s brother, Finneas, took to Twitter and gushed about the ‘talented’ artists who managed to scoop up a Grammys.

He tweeted: “We love silk sonic!! We love Jon Batiste!!! We love everyone who won tonight!! I don’t wanna see anyone talking any trash at ALL!! Nothing but love!! Talented musicians won tonight!! We were lucky to be nominated!! And lucky to perform!!”
