"It was terrible," she added.

Billie contracted the virus in August, after she had been vaccinated.

"I want it to be clear it is because of the vaccine I’m fine. I think if I weren’t vaccinated, I would have, like, died because it was bad," she said. "It felt horrible."

She continued to say the vaccine was "f***ing amazing" and that it saved her parents, brother, and friends from getting infected.

The singer most recently did double duty as host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live last weekend.
