But here’s the thing: As many fans have pointed out, “LUNCH” is not actually about lunch, so it’s unlikely Antonoff was referencing Eilish’s work. In response to one TikTok video about the alleged shade, one usre wrote, “I honestly dont think this was shade at all bc ‘LUNCH’ is not at all about lunch its about loving women.” Another replied, “this is actually the biggest reach ever omggggggggg.”

While many think it’s a “reach” to find fault in Antonoff’s interview, others say his use of the word “lunch” was “oddly specific.” After all, this interview comes a few months after Eilish drew the ire of Swifties while promoting her new album.

As Swift was accused of releasing remixes and bonus editions of TTPD in order to keep the album at number one, Eilish’s quotes got less and less broad.
