The Grammy-winning singer has announced the news via social media, sharing a poster for When Billie Met Lisa on her Twitter account. She captioned the post as: “Billie is guest starring in @TheSimpsons When Billie Met Lisa, the new short streaming April 22 on @disneyplus.” The upcoming short will premiere on Disney later this month, when Eilish and her brother Finneas will discover the musical talents of Lisa Simpson. The chart-topping star then invites Lisa to her studio for a recording session that she’ll never forget.
When Billie Met Lisa will become the fourth in a collection of shorts created exclusively for Disney , with previous productions including Maggie Simpson in The Force Awakens from Its Nap and The Good, The Bart, and The Loki. The most-recent of these shorts was The Simpsons in Plusaversary, which was released on Disney on November 12.
Meanwhile, in March, Eilish won the Oscar for Best Original Song for her James Bond theme song. — IANS
