10+ Random Things Fans Didn't Know About Halsey

She amassed a huge following on the platform for sharing her acoustic parody songs of Taylor Swift and One Direction.

But it wasn't until 2012 that her real break happened: she released the song "ghost" to SoundCloud and her fans got it charted on iTunes.

She let it all hang out when she appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone.

While she got so much love for the move from fans and celeb friends alike, there were some haters.

People were also upset that Halsey was only showing off stubble, not full hair.

Because of this, they didn't see what all the "fuss is all about."

But hey, let's just let people live their lives!

The "Bad at Love" singer is of Italian, Hungarian, Irish, and African-American descent.

She's even spoken outt about some of the struggles she faces being biracial, much to the dismay of some people.

"I can’t use this perfumed watered down white people shampoo. Neither can 50 percent of your customers. Annoying."

This caused people to get upset, as they said that she is white, not a "person of color."

That's because her family moved around a lot. She even attended a new school almost every year until she was 13.

Without friends, she focused on her art, which included sketches, paintings, and poems.

The singer has been openly out since 2015.

"I’m a young, bisexual woman, and I’ve spent a large part of my life trying to validate myself," she said during her speech at the GLAAD Music Awards.

"To my friends, to my family, to myself — trying to prove that who I love and how I feel is not a phase."

When trolls were blaming Miley Cyrus's bisexuality for her split to ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, Halsey even came to Miley's defense with this tweet.

She even outed the user for having a ton of misogynist content on his page.

The story behind the singer's name change is actually really sweet.

When talking to Vevo, she revealed that a friend lived on Halsey Street in Brooklyn and she spent a lot of time there making music. Plus, it's a different way of spelling "Ashley".

The singer and her family eventually moved to a small town where "everyone played a sport, worked at the grocery store, and their parents all knew each other."

As you can imagine, this made the self-professed "weirdo" stand out with her shaved head and tattoos.

The singer has made her mark on music since she released her first single in 2015.

Since then, she's collaborated with everyone from Khalid to Justin Bieber to The Chainsmokers.

There's even a surprise appearance in one of the songs by her good friend John Mayer!

She told Elle that she's okay with admitting that since the "best musicians in history weren't great singers."

"This is a side note, but I can go up on stage and not have to worry about if I sing good because I already kinda can't."

Hey, at least she's honest! Plus, she's proud of writing all of her own music.

Do you think she's a good singer?

Her mother has it, too. She told Elle that having the disorder has made her more emphatic.

"I feel everything around me so much. I feel when I walk past a homeless person."

She continued:

"I used to say to her all the time, like, 'I hate this. I want to be naïve."

She described discovering blood in her hotel bed in a heart-wrenching interview with Rolling Stone.

"I'm like, 'I have to cancel this show,'" she recalls of the moment. "And everyone's kind of like, 'Well, it's Vevo LIFT, and it's 3 million impressions, so ...' No one knew what to do."

"It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," she revealed. "That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, 'I don't feel like a [expletive] human being anymore.'"

"Female rage is a tight subject for me right now,” she told Complex.

She said that the "world sucks," she wants to tap into that anger to create beautiful songs.

We can't wait!
