New trademark filings suggest the seven-time Grammy winner is expanding her empire into the world of NFTs and the metaverse, giving her iconic Blohsh logo a new Web3 home.
Billie Eilish has had a lot going on lately. But then again when doesn’t she?
At just 20 years old, Eilish is currently traveling the United States on her world tour in support of Happier Than Ever, her July sophomore album that debuted at No. 1. Around her 20th birthday in December, she pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live as host and musical guest. She already has seven Grammys to her name, and she’s nominated for seven more this year.
And Billie Bossa Nova’s universe just got that much more expansive.
Last Saturday, Feb. 26, the singer-songwriter and all-around pop-cultural icon filed two new trademark applications for her name and Blohsh logo that indicate she is entering the metaverse and getting involved with the world of crypto technology and NFTs.
Trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis shared the news Thursday:
