The 22-year-old singer, who is currently traveling North America for HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR, addressed Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election before performing her song TV on Wednesday night.

"Waking up this morning, I kind of couldn't really fathom doing a show on this day," Billie admitted, per a fan-captured clip shared to TikTok.

She acknowledged that it's a "privilege" to be able to perform for her fans and told the crowd, "I want you to know that you're safe with me, and you're protected here and that you are safe in this room."

Referring to her song TV, Billie said that the track was "about the abuse that exists in this world upon women and a lot of the experiences that I have gone through and people I know have gone through."

The Grammy winner then went on to slam the president-elect, whom she called a "convicted predator" – an apparent reference to Trump being found liable of sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll.

"Someone who hates women so, so deeply is about to be the president of the United States of America," she added. "So, this song is for all the women out there. I love you, I support you."

Billie endorsed Trump's opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, in September, particularly highlighting how the vice president would fight to protect reproductive rights after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Following Harris' loss, the Happier Than Ever artist warned that this was the beginning of a "war on women."
