Trivia / Halsey

• Creator Backlash: It seems that she has moved past "New Americana", seeing as the song has been absent from her setlists for a long time, and she outright called it her worst released song when asked by a fan in 2017. She later elaborated that since it was her first big single, she got burnt out on it since she "wasn't used to revisiting a song soooo frequently". The issue of Misaimed Fandom that the song also suffered, with many taking its intended satire at face value, may have also contributed.
• Cut Song: "Nightmare" was originally planned to be the lead single for Manic before Halsey opted to cut the song from the final track list of her album, hence it was relegated as a standalone single and "Without Me" (which was originally planned to be standalone) ultimately made it to the final tracklist. It's presumed that the rock-oriented sound of "Nightmare" didn't suit well with the album's tone. However, given that her next album If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power would pursue this exact sound, both the song and a reprise version of it were included as bonus tracks on the album's extended edition.
• Dye Hard: A natural brunette, she has dyed her hair different colours every once in awhile.
• Promoted Fangirl: The girl who gushed about Imagine Dragons in her diary got to tour with them, the girl who was a huge fan of Panic! at the Disco got to perform live with Brendon Urie at Coachella, the girl who was a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails got Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross to produce one of her albums...and then you got her outright fangirling in this picture with her and Mark Hoppus.
• What Could Have Been: The song "Ghost" was originally written for a yogurt commercial in Japan.
• Word of Gay: Halsey confirmed in an interview that the songs "Heaven in Hiding", "Alone", & "Strangers" are about Rosa (played by Lauren Jauregui) and her character Luna's relationship with the girl.
