Billie Eilish wins People’s Choice Award for acting debut, thanks costar for bringing 'her whole cooch'
Eilish won The TV Performance of the Year for "Swarm," and shouted out the show's star Dominique Fishback.
Billie Eilish won the People's Choice Award for The TV Performance of the Year for her acting debut in the Prime Video series Swarm, created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabors.
In her acceptance speech, Eilish thanked Glover — for being her "lifelong inspiration" and making her "the artist that I am today" — and Nabors, but reserved special praise for the show's star Dominique Fishback, whom Eilish said brought her "whole cooch" into Swarm.

Billie Eilish at the People's Choice Awards, Dominique Fishback in 'Swarm'"I want to dedicate this to Dominique Fishback because that show is all about her. She brought her whole cooch into that show," Eilish said. "And she really carried the hell out of it. She taught me everything I know. That whole experience I owe to her. She deserves this more than I do. She's incredible, she is beautiful, she is talented, she should be cast in everything forever."
Swarm premiered early last year, earning Fishback acclaim and an Emmy nomination for her performance. The series followed an obsessive fan who goes to murderous extremes to defend the sterling reputation of her favorite pop star.
Eilish appeared in the fourth episode of the series as Eva, the head of a small cultlike group of women who take in Fishback's character Dre.
"Did you hurt someone?" Eva asks Dre in a scene from Swarm. When Dre admits she has, Eva declares, "Very good."
Naturally, things ends the way most things end with Dre: violently.
