Billie Eilish's Choir Teacher 'Grateful' For Oscar Ceremony Shoutout

Billie Eilish may have won her second Oscar  on Sunday night, but its her former choir teacher who feels like the real winner.

Eilish and brother Finneas OConnell won the original song Oscar for What Was I Made For? from Barbie.

During her acceptance speech, Eilish singled out two teachers.

Ms. Brigham, thanks for believing in me, she said before thanking a teacher addressed only as Ms. T, who Eilish admitted didnt like me, but you were good at your job.

Although Eilish hasnt revealed Ms. Ts full name, The Hollywood Reporter did manage to track down Mandy Brigham, who met Eilish when she was 8 and a member of the Los Angeles Childrens Chorus.

Sadly, Brigham didnt hear Eilishs thank you as it happened because she was at the Indian Wells Tennis Open during the Oscars broadcast.

However, Brigham was quickly made aware of it via more text messages than Ive ever received in my life, she told the publication.

She said she was flabbergasted by Eilishs public praise and admitted she never expected anything like that would ever happen to me.

Brigham said she really appreciated that Eilish remembered her belief in the young singer.

Thats the ultimate compliment for a teacher.
