Halsey didn’t back down, calling out his work as forgettable and reminding him she’s been battling life-threatening health issues, including lupus and a rare disorder, while performing on stages she nearly died to reach. Her fans are rallying behind her, calling out what they see as a pattern of bias against female artists making personal pop music — especially after she revealed her label pressured her to replicate the massive success of “Manic,” despite her record-breaking tour and strong sales. Now, she’s pushing forward with new punk tracks and a collab with Amy Lee, proving she’s not slowing down. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
