Billie first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single Ocean Eyes and since has gone on to be one of the biggest artists in the world but admitted that her fame had cost her her friends.
She said: 'Well I lost all of my friends when I got famous.
'I suddenly was famous, and I couldn't relate to anybody. It was tough. It was really hard.'
She added: 'And then it was my 20th birthday and I remember looking around the room and it was only people that I employ. And all 15 years or more older than me.'
Luckily, she is still close with her best friend, Zoe, and her staff members that are friends.
However, one of her employees quit and never spoke to her again.
She recalled: 'And it was the worst thing that happened to me. And that made me realise like 'oh wait, this is a job.'
'If they left me, they would never see me again.'
Despite that, she said she has since got in touch with her old friends and made some new ones along the way.
Billie added: 'Exactly a year ago, I reconnected with a bunch of old friends and now, I have so many friends. I have a crew now! I could literally cry about it. It's been the greatest thing that's happened to me.'

'And I remember thinking I want to feel that way. And I want to listen to this song that I relate to in every way and hear that line about friends and be like, my friends got my through it.'
