Did you guys know that I have over 28 SINGLES that are platinum or multi platinum? I have 2 that are diamond. All this is the US alone. I’m also one of the only artists in history to *replace themselves* (!!!) at #1 on the radio.

But. Did you know my most critically acclaimed album was also my worst selling? My only Grammy nominated album is the one without a single hit?

Listen, album time is coming and I see a lot of people nostalgic for the before-times for varying (and opposing) reasons and I just want to say: They won’t all be Manic. They won’t all be If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power. They won’t be Badlands because it won’t be the first time again, and they won’t be HFK because they all have to be different. They are all something new. They all become something unique.

If I wrote music, recorded it, and you listen to it? Then I’ve done what I’ve come here to do. The zeitgeist is fickle. And I just have to do the same thing every time. Write it, record it, release it. How it’s received and how it performs isn’t up to me. It’s not even up to you. (Well it’s a little bit up to you) but mostly it’s up to something entirely cosmic that I co-exist with. I am places I never dreamed I would be.

I can’t wait to see what (or who) The Great Impersonator will become.

halsey just expressed everything i'm feeling right now... it's gonna be hard for me to recover from this :c

i loved one direction with an all-consuming force when i was younger. it hurts deeply to mourn someone you were a massive fan of as teenager, and became a peer of as an adult.

i know people change and grief is unsure or complicated when it’s attached to a fond memory or the feeling a person gave you and not tangibly the person themself. i can see many of you on here are struggling with that right now and i understand.

a few years ago i purchased a home that Liam previously owned. there were rumors the house was haunted. He assured me it was not, and i believed him. because i know the ghosts that haunt us aren’t tethered to buildings. They live in parts of us that are harder to reach and they go wherever we do.

as a parent, a fellow artist, and a fan, i simply cannot fathom this untimely loss. my heart goes out to his family, friends, and the fans. 💔

“Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Behold the marvel of a century! Witness the uncanny ability of a woman who can become anyone, anything your heart desires. Friend, lover, foe. She transforms before your very eyes. Her voice and visage a reflection of your deepest dreams & darkest fears but beware, for she is not just a master of disguise but a spirit of transformation slipping between the cracks of reality. One moment a beloved friend. The next a shadowy nightmare. She is the queen of the uncanny. The mistress of metamorphosis. Beware of the great impersonator.”

STEP RIGHT UP, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD THE MARVEL OF A CENTURY! WITHESS THE UNCANNY ABILITY OF A WOMAN WHO CAN BECOME ANYONE, ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES, FRIEND, LOVER FOE. SHE TRANSFORMS BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES. HER VOICE AND VISAGE A REFLECTION OF YOUR DEEPEST DREAMS & DARKEST FEARS BUT BEWARE. FOR SHE IS NOT JUST A MASTER OF DISGUISE BUT A SPIRIT OF TRANSFORMATION SLIPPING BETWEEN THE CRACKS OF REALTY. ONE MOMENT A BELOVED FRIEND, THE NEXT A SHADOWY NIGHTMARE. SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE UNCANNY, THE MISTRESS OF METAMORPHOSIS. BEWARE OF THE GREAT IMPERSONATOR.

At one point, I was kind of like, “How much does Halsey reflect?” It’s the problem with music. You’re in a delay. I’ve said this before, but you live, you write, you release, and then this animated corpse of your past goes out and dances a performance of the time you just lived. You’re in a whole other place, but you’re reanimating this other thing that happened and everyone’s seeing it for the first time. I have people all the time right now, especially with the context and the content of the album, being like, “Oh my god! You’re so sick!” I’m like, “No, no, that already happened.”

sorry I promise I'll be back on my communist grind tomorrow

halsey: My 5th studio album “The Great Impersonator” coming October 25th. I made this record in the space between life and death. And it feels like I’ve waited an eternity for you to have it. I’ll wait a bit longer. I’ve waited a decade, already. Pre-order available now.
