During the presentation, Eilish addressed her supporters and described how she felt when she awoke to the results.

"I couldn't really fathom doing the show on this day, but the longer the day went on, I kind of had this just feeling of like it's such a privilege that I get to do this with you guys and that we have this in a time like right now," the Grammy-winning artist, who previously endorsed Harris, said. "I just love you so much, and I want you to know that you're safe with me, and you're protected here, and you are safe in this room."

She added that she will be performing a song she co-wrote with her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas O'Connell about the "abuse that exists in this world upon women" and the experiences she and others she knows have had.

"To tell you the truth, I've never met one single woman who doesn't have a story of abuse," Eilish joked. "I've dealt with some stuff myself, and I have been taken advantage of, and I've been, you know, my boundaries were crossed, to say it politely."

The Oscar winner continued, "Now, consider a convicted predator. God, my heart is beating quickly. Someone who has a strong hatred for women is about to become president. So this song is dedicated to all the women out there.

Eilish then performed her Happier Than Ever track "Your Power," which begins with the lyrics, "Try not to abuse your power / I know we didn't choose to change / You might not wanna lose your power / But having it's so strange / She said you were a hero, you played the part / But you ruined her in a year, don't act like it was hard."

"We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy," Eilish stated when endorsing the vice president. "Vote like your life depends on it, because it does."

O'Connell added, "We cannot allow fanatics to dominate our lives, liberties, and destiny. "The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote for and elect Kamala Harris."

The "Birds of a Feather" singer had previously said on her video on Instagram earlier in the day, "It's a war on women."

Sabrina Carpenter appears to have addressed the election outcome during her own concert in Seattle on Wednesday.

"I hope we can be a moment of peace for you, a moment of safety," she said onstage. "Sorry about our country and to the women in here I love you so so so so so much, and I really hope for the rest of this night that you can enjoy yourselves because you absolutely deserve it."

Earlier this week, nonprofit Headcount, which collaborated with the "Please Please Please" singer on her Short n' Sweet tour, claimed that she registered more voters than any other artist, totaling 35,814 voters, with an additional 263,087 engaged outside of registration.
