In preparation for the legendary children’s 52nd season, Billie Eilish stopped by Sesame Street to perform a special version of “Happier Than Ever” with the Count ahead of the show’s .
Perched atop the front steps of the show’s building, the 19-year-old singer croons: “When I’m counting with you, I’m happier than ever” followed by the Count’s lyrical reply “Numbers sound so much better.”
Eilish comes up with a plan then: for the pair to count to two. With appearances from Bert, Two-Headed Monster, Elmo, and Big Bird, “Happier Than Ever” takes on the sweetest tone.
The upcoming season of Sesame Street will air a new episode every Thursday on HBO Max and weekly on PBS Kids next fall. In addition to Eilish (whose episode airs June 16) this season’s guest stars include Jon Batiste (11.18), Kacey Musgraves (12.02), Naomi Osaka (01.06), Anderson .Paak (01.13, Dr. Mae Jemison (01.27), Amanda Gorman (03.24), and Keke Palmer (04.21).
