Charles Trepany, USA TODAY

You could say he was a "bad guy."

Billie Eilish may be one of pop music's biggest stars, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what it's like to be ghosted.

The "Bury a Friend" songstress recalled on "The Howard Stern Show" how a boy ditched her on their date when she was 13, leaving her stranded at a movie theater.

And the cherry on top? It happened the day before Valentine's Day.

The 17-year-old singer recalled the ordeal in a clip from the interview published Tuesday.

According to Eilish, the date already wasn't going so well.

"He kissed me, and then he said, 'That was not as magical as I thought it was gonna be,' " she said.

Though she didn't name names, Eilish described her date as a wealthy boy with an unlikely chaperone.

"He was super-rich, and his butler – literally, his butler – his butler was there the entire time, but in a different movie theater," Eilish said. Apparently, the boy and his butler left without so much as a "goodbye."

Eilish thought she found a bright side to her situation.

"Then a baby came up to me," she said. "I was like, 'Oh my God, a baby! And it's smiling at me!' And I smiled, and it started screaming and crying and ran away."

She added: "I went home and cried, and then the next day it was Valentine's Day."
