Oh. My. God. I won.

Run that back real quick—what do you mean, I won?

 

 

 

That was my exact reaction when I found out I won the Billie Eilish Madison Square Garden sweepstakes. It still feels surreal. The first thing I did was tell my best friend, RB, the news.

From start to finish, the experience was absolutely insane—in the best way possible. Winning something like this is never something you expect, so to share it with RB, who’s been by my side through so much, made it even more special.

The Full Experience

It wasn’t just about the concert (though I’ll get to that). The entire trip was incredible. Dinner was a highlight—eating at plant-based restaurants that Billie and her family love was an experience in itself. Their dedication to sustainability and the mission behind Support + Feed is inspiring and genuinely unique.

And then there was the show.

I mean, what can I even say? Billie. Madison Square Garden. It was everything I imagined and more. The performance, the songs, the band—oh my god. Words don’t do it justice. It’s a memory I’ll carry with me forever.

Gratitude Overflowing

None of this would have been possible without Fandiem. They went above and beyond to make sure everything about the planning and the trip itself was seamless. Support + Feed and Sharing Excess also played a huge role, and it was incredible learning more about their missions and meeting the people behind the causes.

Maggie Baird, Billie’s mom, deserves a huge shoutout. She’s so kind, so easy to talk to, and so genuine. She even offered to take pictures of us!

Lastly, thank you to RB for being my ride-or-die and making this experience unforgettable. We’ve shared a lot over the years, but this will forever be at the top of the list.

Thank you to everyone who made this dream come true. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.
