Eilish briefly stopped singing, set the object aside, and resumed the performance. The Los Angeles Times reported that she skipped one lyric line and appeared uninjured. That description is an observation from the coverage, not a confirmed medical assessment.
What was thrown at her?
The object’s exact identity has not been settled in the available accounts. The Los Angeles Times described it as seemingly a bracelet or necklace; Sky News called it a bracelet, while Rolling Stone described what appeared to be a blue bracelet. The careful description is simply an object thrown from the crowd.

In 2023—before the Glendale concert—Eilish spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about objects fans throw toward performers. The Los Angeles Times later quoted her saying: “I have mixed feelings about it, because when you’re up there it blows. But you know it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something.” Those earlier remarks offer context, but they were not a response to what happened in Glendale.
