Halsey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Halsey has just kicked off the Back to Badlands global tour celebrating the ten-year anniversary of her breakthrough album Badlands. On October 14th, she lit up the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, marking the start of a months-long trek spanning North America, Europe, and Australia, with the tour scheduled to wrap in February 2026 according to Billboard and Life & Style Mag. The opening LA performances blended nostalgia with reinvention, featuring around 30 tracks from her discography but pointedly excluding material from last year’s The Great Impersonator due to ongoing issues with her record label, as reported by Music Feeds. The crowd was treated to special arrangements like a rock version of Coming Down and a disco-country take on The Lighthouse, while new live renditions of fan favorites like Young God and Bad at Love drew praise for their emotional heft.
Beyond the stage, Halsey made headlines for her fiery onstage remark about Kanye West. Before performing her freestyle Tokyo Narita at the Fairbanks Lawn, she called out Ye directly, telling fans “It’s f--- Kanye, okay?” referencing his recent string of hateful remarks and escalating controversies. This moment quickly went viral after Pop Base and Billboard shared a clip, sparking debates online about artistic integrity and the responsibility artists have when earlier work mentions now-disgraced figures.
Adding to her recent momentum, Halsey announced her Dubai debut for December 6th, headlining the opening of the Dubai Shopping Festival at Coca-Cola Arena. Khaleej Times highlights that the show is set to be one of the city’s most anticipated events of the winter, following her recent For My Last Trick tour and the August release of Badlands: Decade Edition Anthology, which includes remastered tracks and exclusive music videos.
On social media, Halsey’s “F Kanye” statement dominated X, Instagram, and TikTok fan accounts, while press outlets from Vice to Music Times dissected the broader meaning. Within days, hashtags like #BackToBadlands and #HalseyTour2025 trended. There was also renewed support from the mental health community, as Halsey continued to urge compassion and respect online, referencing her past advocacy in light of Ye’s behavior.
No major business moves outside of music and touring have surfaced in the past few days, nor any new product launches from her about-face beauty line. The urban buzz, however, is squarely on this tour and Halsey’s willingness to publicly stake her values, ensuring her present moment—while rooted in the past—has unmistakable biographical impact.
