Aniyah Saint-Surin was amped to secure pit tickets the day of Billie Eilish’s first Miami show on Oct. 9. The 18-year-old says she walked into the concert at the Kaseya Center saying to herself, “This will be my time.”
Her prediction was right. Hours later, the high school senior would go viral for her fast-acting bravery and earn a name within Eilish’s fandom: The “red bandana girl.”
At the concert, Eilish stepped down from the stage and walked through the crowd, greeting fans with smiles and high-fives. Then came a shocking moment: Eilish’s outstretched arm was yanked by concertgoer. He pulled her into the crowd on the other side of the barricade.
