Taylor Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff accused of throwing shade at Billie Eilish over ‘lunch’ comment as their alleged feud rolls on

Taylor Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff has been accused of throwing shade at Billie Eilish as their alleged feud appears to be rolling on.

The 40-year-old Bleachers frontman appeared on Today on Thursday to talk about his band’s new self-titled album but it was one comment made in passing that had fans talking just weeks after pal Taylor had been accused of ‘sabotaging’ her younger rivals.

On the morning chat show/news program Jack had been asked about his songwriting process as he answered that he tends to write music about things which impact him emotionally rather than something as simple as a meal.

He answered: ‘It’s hard to write unless you’re really compelled. And sometimes what compels you is way more serious things.

‘I never feel like… You don’t hear a lot of great songs about like, one’s lunch order. So the things you don’t really understand and cause you pain are usually things worth writing about.’

It may have seemed like a harmless comment at first but fans of the 22-year-old Billie suggested that Jack had thrown subtle shade at her since her latest single was titled Lunch.

The song – which Billie has referred to as a ‘lesbian anthem’ – was the first single off of her third studio album Hit Me Hard And Soft which was released in May.

One of Billie’s fans took to X (formally Twitter) to share a video of the clip with the caption: ‘jack antonoff’s grown 40 year old self shading billie? weirdo.’

Others did not believe that the comment was not meant to shade the Lovely hitmaker as one X user wrote: ‘why are people saying he’s shading billie… lunch is not actually about having lunch like yall are fckn slow as hell JDJDBDBDHDJ.’

This comes amid months of tension between Billie and Taylor’s fandoms amid an alleged feud between the two.

Last month, Billie was accused of shading Taylor amid their battle for the top spot on the Billboard album chart following the releases of their respective albums.

While the superstars have publicly gushed over each other in the past, some social media users are convinced the pair are feuding following an interview Eilish gave, this week, in which she brands three-hour concerts as ‘psychotic.’

While appearing on Stationhead following the recent release of her new album, the performer slammed musicians that put on super lengthy shows.
