"Mental comfort" I like that phrase.

[FatimaMalla]

i mean historically women have either been pressured to show more skin or to cover up its either this or that why not leave people to dress how they are most comfortable jeez

[hillhouseproductions]

I’m not the biggest fan of her music, but I love how open and honest she is.

[Yerosearena]

Billie I love you no matter what and I love how you dress and support her always

[roxytheangeldragon]

Omg period dude
Just wear wat makes u comfortable u dont hv to wear wat everyone else is wearing

[muhugcm]

She’s so mature and i’m so glad she’s happier now 😁

[PriorPopular]

She’s respecting herself. Let her.
Get off her back, Hollywood!

[mrmaggoo]

I love this kid. She's in a horrible business but she has the tools to survive it and she's using them. God bless you Billie

Why does a female musician have to get asked questions about her body? That's intrusive. It's private. Keep the questions about her music, her life. Do male hip hop and rap stars who wear baggy clothing get asked this question??

[Blitznstitch]

Yep! It’s so true. Representing for all people who live in baggy clothes

[thomasyewcic]

the craziest thing to me about Billie is watching her growth in the public eye over the past few years....she's really matured a lot from what we've seen.

[abigailbillingsley]

I love this. I always feel so much more comfortable in bigger clothes. It just helps take away all the comparing to people who have the "perfect" body. No one needs to see your body anyway. It's nice to see different people who aren't the world's typical Instagram girl. We don't all have to be the 2019 typical girl. That's boring, and it really doesn't matter.

[kashalakasha]

I love that she wears what she’s comfortable with. Working on acceptance isn’t always getting to a point where you want to show a ton of skin

[theresnomich]

What has the world come to when full grown adults are asking a 17 year old girl about her body.

[lovelight]

It's refreshing to hear a young woman who doesn't feel the need to wear skimpy outfits. I mean if you want to wear that that's fine. The point is it's important honour yourself and what you're comfortable with. Especially for a young celebrity. I respect that she honors her wishes.

[fizzahmirza]

Im so glad she didnt get offended and answered the question. Cuz a lot of people needed to hear that.

[brookeandrews]

I like how she said it was more abt mental comfort. Thats probably the truest thing ive heard in a long time.

[olamichalak]

i feel this on such a hard level. i love seeing her happy now.

[Nayops]

Billie’s so talented and stunning like always♥️👏🏼

[Australeya]

Would a interviewer ever ask a man why they wear baggy clothes? Probably not, so maybe don’t ask it to anyone
