HALSEY

57. HER MOST SURREAL MOMENT

"What has been the most surreal moment since entering the music industry?"

Halsey: "My entire life! So many of the ones I want to say, I'm not allowed to talk about yet, which sucks because I want to tell you! Probably the one-year anniversary of me signing my record deal. I was playing an arena in Canada. I just walked out on stage and thought literally a year ago, I owed my manager thousands of dollars because I couldn't afford a Starbucks coffee. I was living out of a duffel bag. I didn't have a laptop. I didn't have anything. I had a Victoria's Secret grey duffel bag and I would drag it around New York and New Jersey. He would pay for my train tickets when I would go to and from the city, and we'd take label meetings, and I'd sleep at his parents' house. And one year later and I have an apartment in L.A. and I'm on stage in an arena."

"And then you got to pay him back!"

Halsey: "The memo on the check was "I Love You." In purple pen. So that was pretty surreal."
