Billie Eilish may already have an Oscar for Best Original Song, but it seems like she’s on track for the Best Actress award as well.

On Sunday, March 19, Billie shared a bloody BTS of her debut as "Eva" in Amazon Video's new series Swarm. The singer-turned-actor shared a carousel post in gore-filled hair and makeup. Billie's first selfie showcased fake blood dripping down her neck. She smiled widely in another shot, with blood and fake cuts covering her face.

Three days prior, on Thursday, March 16, the singer-songwriter announced her surprise acting debut in the psychological horror series. Created by actor Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, the thriller follows a young woman named Dre, whose obsession with world-famous pop star Ni’Jah takes a dark and twisted turn when she goes to extreme lengths to feed her infatuation.

Billie shared a clip from her appearance on Instagram, and we have *chills.* The scene depicts a chilling conversation between Billie’s character, Eva, and Dre, played by Dominique Fishback. Dre reveals that she sees “milk spilled on the carpet” and when asked by Eva what the color of the milk is, she responds, “Red.” (Spoiler alert: it’s definitely not milk.) Eva menacingly asks Dre if she’s hurt someone, to which she replies, “Yes.”

“Very good,” Eva answers. Omg. 🫣

Billie’s character appeared in one episode. We saw another quick glimpse of her in the series teaser trailer, from which we learned that she has a penchant for snapping. But the wait to find out was been short-lived. Season 1 of Swarm, which also stars Dominique, Fishback, Chlöe Bailey, Nirine S. Brown, and Karen Rodriguez, is now streaming on Prime Video.
