“She Took Something That Wasn’t Hers!” — Ariana Grande Accuses Billie Eilish of Stealing Unreleased Song in Explosive New Scandal

“I trusted her. She took something that wasn’t hers.”
— Leaked message allegedly from Ariana Grande’s private group chat

Hollywood, July 15, 2025 — In a music industry twist that has blindsided fans and insiders alike, a shocking scandal has erupted between two of pop’s biggest forces: Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish. The controversy? An alleged stolen song, an unreleased track titled “Glass Butterflies”, and a friendship that may never recover.

The drama came to light after a hacker group calling themselves CloudCrash leaked screenshots from a private group chat and a brief voice memo—both allegedly involving Ariana—accusing Billie of copying and releasing a melody Ariana had shown her in confidence earlier this year.

Now the internet is on fire, and what was once an imagined dream collaboration has turned into what fans are calling: #ButterflyGate.

🎶 It Started with a Melody… and a Memory

According to the leaked screenshots, Ariana told close friends in a private message:

“I played her that chorus back in January during Grammy week. She said it was ‘hauntingly beautiful.’ Now she’s performing something nearly identical and calling it hers?”

The song in question, “Glass Butterflies”, was never officially released by Ariana, but fans recall she teased a short acapella version on Instagram Live in late 2024, singing about “wings made of glass” and “fragile hearts trapped in jars.”

Fast forward to July 14, 2025 — Billie Eilish debuts a new unreleased track at her surprise Brooklyn show, with eerily similar metaphors and vocal structure. Fans immediately drew comparisons, and within hours, the leaks surfaced.

📲 The Leaked Voice Memo: Ariana Speaks

Adding fuel to the fire, a voice memo—reportedly sent by Ariana to a friend—was also leaked, in which she says:

“I just feel used. It’s like… you show someone a piece of your soul, and they wear it like a costume. I’ll never share a demo with anyone again.”

Though Ariana hasn’t publicly confirmed the authenticity of the leak, her Instagram stories have been full of cryptic messages, including a black screen with the words:

“Not everything meant to stay private will be respected. Lesson learned.”

😱 Billie Eilish: Coincidence or Copycat?

As of this morning, Billie Eilish has made no official comment, though her older brother and producer Finneas posted a passive-aggressive tweet late last night:

“People think owning a metaphor means they own music. Nah.”

Billie’s fans—lovingly known as the “Avocados”—are fiercely defending her, arguing that the “glass butterflies” imagery is not unique and that Billie has used similar themes before. They also cite production differences and vocal tone as evidence that this is not theft but mere coincidence.

But Ariana’s fanbase—the “Arianators”—aren’t buying it.

🔥 Olivia Rodrigo: The Wild Card No One Saw Coming

Just when the situation couldn’t get messier, Olivia Rodrigo was unexpectedly pulled into the chaos after fans noticed she had liked both Ariana’s and Billie’s posts about new music, then quickly unliked them hours later.

Adding to the mystery, Olivia posted a cryptic Instagram story this morning:

“Some people play sweet. Some people steal and sing.”

Though the post was deleted within minutes, screenshots were already circulating. Fan theories are now suggesting that Olivia may have helped Billie finish the controversial track, since the two recently spent time together at a songwriting retreat in Malibu.

Is Olivia a collaborator, a witness… or a co-conspirator?

📉 The Fallout: Industry Reacts

Music journalists and producers are weighing in on the chaos. One executive at Republic Records (speaking anonymously) told Billboard:

“This kind of overlap happens more than fans think. But to have it go public—this explosively—is rare. It could change how artists share demos forever.”

Even Rolling Stone chimed in with a biting headline:
“Pop’s Brightest Stars Just Entered Their Darkest Era.”

⚖️ Will There Be Legal Action?

According to legal analyst Jenny Hanford, a plagiarism case is unlikely unless Ariana has strong proof of prior authorship, such as production timestamps or studio recordings filed with publishing registries.

However, if the leaks are authenticated, and Ariana’s team pushes forward, this could become the biggest pop copyright battle since Robin Thicke vs. Marvin Gaye.

💔 From Friends to Frenemies

What makes this scandal even more tragic is the history of admiration and friendship between Ariana and Billie. Billie once called Ariana “the best vocalist of our generation,” while Ariana described Billie as “a raw, brilliant, and authentic soul.”

They’ve shared red carpets, whispered backstage at awards shows, and even teased fans with hints of a future collaboration — one that now seems impossible.

💬 What Fans Are Saying

“I never thought I’d see the day Ariana and Billie beefed. It’s like Sailor Moon vs. Wednesday Addams.” — Twitter
“Olivia Rodrigo being in the middle of this mess? You can’t script this better.” — TikTok
“At this point, we need a courtroom drama musical about this. Cast them as themselves.” — Reddit

🎤 Final Notes: Where Do We Go From Here?

With no official statements yet from either Billie or Ariana, fans are left piecing together breadcrumbs and decoding every post, while the media circus intensifies.

Olivia Rodrigo, meanwhile, has gone completely silent—cancelling a scheduled podcast appearance and reportedly unfollowing both artists on Spotify.

Will this feud escalate into full-blown legal warfare? Or will one of the stars extend an olive branch and save what remains of their relationships — and reputations?

One thing is clear:
When butterflies break… the whole world hears it.
