Halsey began receiving recognition as a musician in 2014 and signed with Astralwerks that year. She released her first studio album, "Badlands," in 2015.
Before her success in the music industry, Halsey was homeless and previously admitted she almost resorted to sex work to make ends meet.
"When I was living in New York, I was a teenager. My friends were picking out decorations for their dorms, and I was debating on whether or not I should let a stranger inside of me so I could pay for my next meal," she said at the Ending Youth Homelessness: A Benefit for My Friend's Place gala in 2019.
"It wasn't because I did something bad. It wasn't because something was wrong with me and it wasn't because my parents didn't love me – because they did very much," she said. "But a series of unfortunate circumstances led me to be in that position, and it can happen to absolutely anyone."
