Halsey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Every headline has revolved around Halsey's triumphant and emotional return to the stage as the “Back To Badlands” 10-year anniversary tour surges across the country, drawing fans old and new into intimate venues that mark a deliberate pivot from her former arena-sweeping setups. Cities 97.1 and 103.5 KISS FM are promoting stops in Minneapolis, Chicago and Denver, while 94.5 PST and Red94.net spotlight the recent Philadelphia and Hollywood Forever shows—both featuring extended setlists stacked with deep cuts and Badlands classics, fueling a wave of nostalgia and renewed fan fervor. Social media is ablaze not just with concert footage, but with a viral live moment from Hollywood Forever where Halsey, overwhelmed by the crowd, exclaimed, “This is fucking crazy,” a statement Variety and Red94.net say has become a meme and a new rallying cry for a more candid, emotionally unfiltered public persona. Critics note the deliberate “downplay” approach, seeing the small-venue strategy as a calculated but sincere attempt to reconnect with her roots and reset her image after a decade of high-profile stardom. PSAs and radio stations are giving away tickets in real-time, and fans line up with expectations influenced less by pop spectacle and more by vulnerability and closeness.
This 2025 nostalgia run comes pointedly in the wake of extraordinary personal revelations that have colored nearly every public appearance. Telegrafi and Dailymail chronicle Halsey’s ongoing battle with lupus and leukemia, which she first revealed in a tearful Instagram post. In that video the pop star described several years of secret struggle, repeated hospitalizations and a determined “reboot” as she faces thirty, saying she’s “lucky to be alive.” The news paints her robust onstage energy in a courageous new light: every performance is not just music, but an act of defiance and renewal. Her new acoustic ballad “The End,” released alongside her diagnosis, sits atop streaming charts and benefits both the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Lupus Research Alliance. Combining this with her previously publicized diagnoses of Ehlers-Danlos, Sjogren’s syndrome, MCAS and POTS—plus a recent surgery for endometriosis, discussed candidly on Instagram—Halsey’s health journey has become a pillar of her 2025 story, transforming fan appreciation into a palpable groundswell of support.
Business-wise, the tour itself represents a significant commercial and reputational reboot, with multiple sold-out nights reported in major cities and with venues like Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium confirming consecutive shows. With merch, anniversary reissues and surprise encores, the “Back To Badlands” era is fueling both box office and streaming sales, and reigniting interest in her catalog.
Meanwhile, A-list romance headlines continue as the star opens up about her engagement to actor Avan Jogia. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the Call Her Daddy podcast, Halsey glowed describing the surprise boat proposal in Barcelona, cementing the couple as the latest darlings of celebrity-watchers and further boosting her visibility across mainstream and entertainment media.
In sum: Halsey’s last few days have been a convergence of personal vulnerability, professional reinvention and viral cultural impact—with the “Back To Badlands” tour and her frank discussions about illness at the very center—making this not just a comeback, but an inflection point for her entire career.
