Behind the Scenes: Halsey's House Party Antics and Industry Expectations
Halsey recently shared a funny anecdote from a house party involving Miley Cyrus during a podcast appearance. The singer recounted a moment when the police showed up at her party, and she had to defend herself against their attempts to shut it down. Despite the police's insistence, Halsey argued that she was not breaking any laws and eventually walked away from the situation, only to bump into Cyrus leaving the party with a bag of Postmates.
During the podcast episode, Halsey compared herself to Gatsby from The Great Gatsby, revealing that she would throw parties but often retreat to her bedroom. She explained her socializing strategy and how she would feel accomplished when everyone left the party.
Halsey's last studio album, The Great Impersonator, was released in 2024. In a previous interview, she mentioned that she was unable to work on a new album at the moment due to certain restrictions. Despite the success of The Great Impersonator, Halsey expressed disappointment that her label expected higher sales numbers similar to her previous album, Manic, which featured the hit song "Without Me."
Reflecting on her past success as a pop star, Halsey acknowledged the challenges of meeting certain expectations in the music industry. Despite her album's strong debut, she felt the pressure to achieve greater commercial success, highlighting the complexities of transitioning from a pop star to a different phase in her career.
