He’s getting it tattooed."},"content":{"rendered":"

After Billie Eilish mumbled through the opening lyrics of “Billie Bossa Nova” she let out a cackle and told her band to stop playing.<\/p>\n

“I forgot the lyrics,” she announced to the\u00a0thousands of festivalgoers assembled before the Firefly\u00a0main stage, “because I was reading a sign.”<\/p>\n

That sign was held by Matthew Morgan, a blond-haired sophomore from\u00a0New York’s Ithaca College. It read, “Sign my tits.”<\/p>\n

So Eilish did.<\/p>\n

“You want me to sign your tits,” she said from the stage. “I’m going to do it. How am I supposed to get down there? It’s f—— funny as f—.”<\/p>\n

Moments later, two security guards helped her down from the stage and she walked to Morgan, who waited along a fence in the front row with his black and gold shirt opened. A nearby fan handed Eilish a sharpie and she emblazoned her signature and a heart on Morgan’s left pec.<\/p>\n

“It’s insane,” he said. “Everyone just started screaming. It’s by far one of the best moments of my life.”<\/p>\n

As she signed his chest, Morgan told Eilish he is going to get the signature tattooed, making permanent the signature moment of\u00a0a wet and soggy Firefly opening night.<\/p>\n

Morgan was one of thousands of fans who anxiously waited\u00a0to be let into the festival after heavy rain delayed its start by almost five hours. He and a friend drove five hours from Ithaca College Thursday morning, then waited longer at the front of the gates to enter the festival.<\/p>\n

Both college track athletes, they sprinted to the main stage once let in to be the first two fans there.<\/p>\n

The “Sign my tits” sign actually wasn’t Morgan’s at the start of the night. He said after The Girl in Red performed on the main stage he begged another fan to let him use the sign for Eilish’s performance.<\/p>\n

“Billie Bossa Nova,” the song Eilish stopped to sign Morgan’s chest, came about midway through her set. It opens with a subtle guitar rift. It’s then Morgan screamed, “Billie, please sign my tits.”<\/p>\n

The singer soon after stopped and made her descent.<\/p>\n

“I was like what? That’s not possible,” Morgan said. “People don’t get down from the stage.”<\/p>\n

As she signed his chest, Eilish said “oh my god” in disbelief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
