Halseyfound fame differently than other stars.
So what else is there to know about Halsey, who’s an open book about almost everything?
This is the stunning transformation of Halsey.
“My parents moved where the jobs were,” she recalled in an interview withMarie Claire.
“We’d be like, ‘What’s for dinner?’
And she’d be like, ‘Ice cream and rollerskating,'” she continued.
“And we’d go to the roller rink and eatice creamfor dinner.”
“I have met tens of thousands of fans; I don’t forget any of them.
“We can’t hold her back,” her mother insisted.
“We don’t know what she can become.”
In that case, it’s definitely fair to say that Halsey’s mother was 100 percent correct.
So Halsey turned inward, throwing herself into working on the high school yearbook and nurturing her artistic talents.
“I was on Myspace when I was 14, which was so inappropriate in retrospect.”
“I was putting my content out there, this projection of myself,” she continued toGlamour.
“I didn’t know what I was doing.
I was just screaming into the void.”
“I was throwing up at school,” she shared in an interview withMarie Claire.
“I spent my whole adolescence medicated.”
“Given what I’ve been experiencing the past couple of years?”
“If I hadn’t already had my meltdown, who knows when it would have happened?”
Instead, Halsey decided to try her hand at being an artist on her own terms.
But given how expensive it can be to live there, Halsey found herself in a precarious predicament.
“It was 2014, the last year that New York was kind of bohemian.”
“Thinking all my friends were going to die and being by myself and being terrified.
It was easily the darkest time of my life,” she admitted in an interview withThe Guardian.
“The one thing I was doing was maintaining my persona online.
I never let anyone know I didn’t have a home.”
And that, she added, was one thing she did especially right.
That, of course, was a life-changing event, and it launched Halsey’s career as a musician.
“I had 24 hours to decide and the decision was very easy to make.
From that day on I’ve been an artist.”
Thus Halsey was born!
You’re the depressed girl.”
“And then the idea ofbecoming happy while it’s nice it’s scary,” she continued.
“Because if you become happy, then who do you become?
Because who you are is depressed.”
Badlandsdid very well commercially, according toBillboard, which had to have Halsey smiling about her success.
Halsey regrets sharing this one thing publicly
Halsey is a pretty open book.
She’s open about being bipolar, biracial, and bisexual.
But there is one thing that she regrets sharing with the media.
“I did it because I have an interest in women’s health.”
She also wanted to spread awareness about Planned Parenthood, an institution she really believes in.
We’re sorry you had to deal with that, Halsey!
“We both knew right away.
We just didn’t act on it,” she explained in an interview withMarie Claire.
“I had just gotten out of a breakup; he just got out of a breakup.
We were both, like, at the peak of our careers.”
“I haven’t found someone who matches every version of me until him,” she continued.
“Like, he’s my left sneaker.
For every version of him, there’s a version of me to match.”
As Halsey tells it, the koi fish in the fountain symbolize the two lovers.
“But they never caught each other, so it’s called the hopeless fountain.”
What a heartbreaking idea!
Hopeless Fountain Kingdomdebuted at No.
1 on the Billboard 200 and went platinum, according toBillboard.
Congrats on making it to the top, Halsey!
It’s physical, because it’s serotonin and adrenaline and dopamine."
It’s not just those feel-good brain chemicals that Halsey thrives on, either.
“And it’s also emotional because it’s validation.
It’s feeling like I matter.
It’s feeling like I care about these people and they care about me,” she continued.
“It’s also outrageously arrogant.
It’s like being a preacher or a dictator or something.”
“And now I’m in my 20s and I’m like ‘I love women!’
I’m surrounded by amazing women and I love how strong and beautiful and incredible they all are.”
She added that she was glad to have grown out of her “internalized misogyny.”
“Yeah it’s crazy,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram page (viaNME).
A woman can be multi dimensional."
“I’ve played Madison Square Garden.
I have a number-one album.
“It’s a personal goal and a weird one.”
We are 100 percent here for this!
“I was like, ‘Wait, what did you just say?
Did you just say I can have kids?’
“I called my mom, crying.”
What a beautiful twist of fate.
Additionally, she worked with the South Korean powerhouse BTS in 2019, an experience she absolutely adored.
She added that they just got along well naturally.
“Whenever anything big happens for the both of us, we congratulate each other,” she continued.
“We’re really looking forward to the time we can hang out again.”
We wouldn’t mind another collab just saying!
She released her third studio album,Manic, on January 17, as noted byCapitol Records.
“It’s soooooo manic,” she revealed in an interview withRolling Stone.
While Halsey’s previous albums were both highly conceptual,Manicis a raw look into her innermost thoughts.
“It’s that thing in the back of our minds that drives us to outrageous thoughts.”
Now that’s practicing what you preach.
