Iain Armitage recently found himself starstruck while getting to meet none other than music superstar Billie Eilish.
The Young Sheldon actor—who crossed paths with Eilish at an event in Georgia over the weekend—documented the unforgettable experience with a number of photos shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Jan. 21, as he reflected on what it was like to meet the “Ocean Eyes” songstress.
Armitage, 17, met Eilish backstage at The King Center’s 2026 MLK Jr. Beloved Community Awards on Saturday, Jan. 17, where he presented one of the awards for the evening. Eilish, 24, was also in attendance for the same event, and was even one of the honorees at this year’s ceremony.
After getting to meet with a number of notable names, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, Dr. Bernice King, Armitage took to Instagram to gush over his encounter with Eilish, during which they took a number of selfies together.
“Oh yeah realized I forgot to post the photos of me MEETING BILLIE EILISH,” the actor exclaimed in his caption. “She was so awesome, and genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met- ILYB!!!”
Just like Armitage, many of his fans were also freaking out over the interaction, during which he was photographed giving Eilish a big hug.
“oh my god,” one user commented on Armitage’s post, while more stunned fans added messages like “dude omg??” and “IAIN WHAT.”
“this is a moment in history,” another user declared.
“That’s so freakin cool,” someone else wrote under the photos.
Another fan said, “THIS IS SO CUTE” about Armitage’s interaction with the “Birds of a Feather” singer, who another fan called “the greatest.”
“the duo that i never knew i needed to see,” another fan chimed in.
