"You shouldn't be nervous about someone liking you." Messed me up.

[@kaiarrayixing6740]

??? Really

[@Woodalchii]

Finally an interview where Halsey get to talk about her music and kinda lead the conversation herself into sticking to that and her as a person and musician. Really enjoyed this interview bc of that. This is what we as fans actually want to know and hear about. Not the irrelevant,gossip, private stuff that is none of anyone's business anyway lol. Looking forward to Halsey's new album. The part about feeling butterflies tho, that's really just anxiety and red flags for sure, depending on the situation.

[@Coco_Loco95]

Woodalchi you must haven’t watched her Zane Lowe interviews. They’re really in depth.

[@hushedtones7168]

Zach sang show she went twice. Back then she seemed mature and happy. These interviews won me over. Now i sense some lack of clarity, maybe bitterness of the constant dealing with industry politica focusing on extrinsic vanity metrics that made her lose herself or her energy. Or maybe its a longterm side effect of the ‘’social justice’’ hipster mind virus destroying people from the inside. or some behind the scene current unfulfilling relationship or substance use. She went through a lot it’s always so inspiring to see her having so much reflection a few years back and having made inner peace with a terrible past and being very grounded.

[@karsonh7929]

The bigger her career gets the more she stays authentic. It’s so amazing and genuine

[@brittanydiamond6772]

What's more is she clearly fights to make it that way and is imperfect in the meantime. Her honesty about the neverending process is incredible.

[@karsonh7929]

I couldn’t agree with you more. Her fight to stay authentic in an industry that is doing the exact opposite is truly unparalleled

[@lovettdeleted]

I love how this feels like a conversation between two people rather than a contrived interview where the interviewer just goes "okay," to every answer to get to the next question. Lucy actually conjured up questions from things Halsey mentions in her answers. That's great. Shows she's actually listening.

[@BethThereseReacts]

YES. I loved this interview for that reason!!

[@Augustforever1056]

Hands down. This is the best, most expressive and honest interview by a celeb I have watched in recent years. And I don't even know her much.

[@UltraViolet666]

I'm glad she wants to strip it back with the new album. She may have become one of the biggest pop stars but she clearly fights for her authenticity and personal direction. I admire her.

[@isaacharing]

Love how honest and respectful she is to everyone, including what she said about Australia. 👍🏻

[@sumanthjA-Z]

She looks like younger version of my grandma.

[@isaacharing]

@@sumanthjA-Z Then you have a very lucky Grandma! 😂

[@Coco_Loco95]

She’s not respectful to everyone. Type in “halsey goes off in airport” or “Halsey hits paparazzi” in KZbin lol

[@isaacharing]

@@Coco_Loco95 Well, I think if you traveled as much as she does, and got constantly invaded. Then you might have a similar reaction. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm talking about how she responds in everyday scenarios.

[@noormustafa3]

@@isaacharing agreed!!!!!!!

[@viceshark]

Introspection is so attractive. An artists ability to listen to themselves, then translate that into something that can affect a lot of people, is a wonder. Halsey is phenomenal at expressionism and I’m grateful that she is who she is. 😁

[@kikaa6091]

So true! That's what makes Halsey Halsey i think.

[@jenm7585]

I would love to see her and P!nk perform together the song Nightmare.

[@ilseleal911]

no matter how big she gets, she'll always be her genuine true-self, down to earth and she'll always prioritize her fans, i love her so much. she looks like a princess btw, such a queen i'm glad to be living in the same era as her. can't wait for manic it's gonna be a masterpiece

[@emmawilks4524]

That butterfly shit is a good eye-opener to a lot of people and myself. I like it so much more than I already did now.

[@jingcc0121]

Stumbled across this interview. I love this genuineness of Halsey. She is the real deal and true person. The interviewer did phenomenally allowing Halsey to speak from her heart and her person. There was so much sincerity in this interview. Great listen! Thanks!

[@juliahau4448]

She's so real, that's why i love her music so much!

[@robertbernard9546]

This might actually be the best interview that I've ever seen. Halsey seems brilliantly articulate and the interviewer does something kind of rare imo: actually lets her subject speak. Great job all around.

[@krishnaaa7424]

She deserves everything she had, and so much more

[@SierraQuinton]

i love how open she is about her growth as an artist and learning from her mistakes

[@brittanydiamond6772]

I'd kill to be a fly on the wall while Halsey and Taylor Swift discuss the pros and cons and artistic merits of grounded, fluid shows versus massive, choreographed productions.

[@Augustforever1056]

You worded it so good

[@mbuelna]

I CANNOT stop listening to 12:22-15:06!! I’ve heard Halsey talk about this in other interviews but it never gets old! I can’t wait to teach my daughter this. 🥰 I wish I had this info growing up. ❤️

[@marykwanda6823]

I love how she is trynna reinvent the pop star thing and herself constantly and innovate.i literally choked when I heard about 2 songs and a video coming up!!well done 4 the exclusive!!

[@anny.--.]

My heart literally skipped 4 beats when Halsey told may be she will not make music anymore after 2 to 3 more albums😰 16:20

[@stephanieanatsui7723]

I love Graveyard because it came out around the time I got dumped and the person was an alcoholic who drove drunk a lot and I never said anything. Literally would have followed them to the graveyard but now I’m in a healthy relationship with a fabulous woman! We absolutely fell in love with her AMA performance that we can’t wait to see the tour dates for Maniac! Let alone listen to it! Tons of love Ashley

[@lubarreyro]

i was shocked that it was her first AMA i mean whats wrong with people, nightmare alone deserved many many awards

[@thomasyewcic3520]

this interview really humanized her. it made me like her so much more!

Beautiful interview. So nice when they actually ask about the music. Great job to the interviewer.

Great interview Halsey 💕 love your music and message. Congratulations on your AMA. Well deserved 🥇

[@Cozyarthur]

Great interview!

[@plutonium120]

let's set the record straight about the buttterflies thing: there's a difference between butterflies and anxiety. what my girl is talking about here is anxiety (dependency, approval, manipulation, etc). but that doesn't mean all anticipation is bad. i think anticipation, excitement, surprises, adventure, challenging each other and exploring new things are healthy. and of course pushing your boundaries and expanding your comfort zone (within limits obviously) can make you nervous at times but that's necessary for growth, and the rejection of those things leads to stagnation. im all about pushing myself and trying new things, so im pretty extreme in that sense. but ultimately i think it's most important to be around people who are near your level of expansion: enough to grow but not so much that it's traumatic.

[@melissasmidt222]

Phil Pacific I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Very well written.

How to do a great interview! 👏👏👏 I'm so grateful to a certain person for stopping her in her tracks and putting her right in her place. I remember her liking a comment on his post ,about the triple j cover they did, how he's making her love music again..I'm so glad he did! l can't wait for the rest of Manic. And I'll do my best not to cry when I hear Finally live in march.

[@aidandoyle3570]

If the fans didnt fall in love with your music and get your songs to be big hits, then the critics wouldn’t even have anything to judge It’s allll about the fans. Critics are gross entitled people who feel it’s their job to give the greater opinion on something.

You need to start a movement and galvanize the legions of pop stars. Too, long have they endured public scrutiny, too long have they been made to endure all manner of criticism...I mean...its not like you are making millions of dollars to work at Mcdonalds or some shit. You guys deserve a voice too ffs.

The other person has no control over you getting “butterflies” that says more about yourself then anything else

[@zeid-gd8dg]

I actually like her personality that's coming through in this interview. Unfortunately I didn't like most of the singles. She says the album is gonna be organic and colorful, yet the production on the singles sounded bland and uncreative.

[@Coco_Loco95]

zeid2000 agreed! Literally the only song I liked this era was nightmare & it’s not even on Manic. The others were so lame. Badlands will forever be her best album.

Literally every other anti-SJW KZbinr: Omg Halsey thinks she's alternative lol why can't she just accept she's pop! Halsey: *accepts she's pop* Same KZbinrs: *refuse to acknowledge she's changed her mind and keep citing an article from 2.5 years ago*
