Watch Billie Eilish bring her dark energy to the Democratic National Convention

Thankfully that glaring oversight was amended on Wednesday night when the 18-year-old Grammy winner and voting registration activist performed her new song, "My Future," publicly for the first time.

"Silence is not an option and we cannot sit this one out," Eilish, who will be voting in her first presidential election this year, stressed. "We all have to vote like our lives and the world depend on it, because they do. The only way to be certain of the future is to make it ourselves." Watch below. Jeva Lange
