Halsey opens up the show with an acoustic performance of “Bad At Love.” The single is off of her 2017 album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. She also performs “Strangers” which appears on the 2017 LP.
Halsey also included some songs off of her latest album Manic which was released earlier this year. “Without Me,” “Finally // Beautiful Stranger,” “Graveyard” and “Alanis’ Interlude” [Morissette] are all included in the setlist. She also performs her recent collab with Marshmello “Be Kind.”
Halsey had specific reasons for why she decided to include each song in the setlist.
“When I put this setlist together, I picked some of the songs that, to me, best communicate the feelings of love, loss, longing, and learning,” she says. “And doing all of it in a way that is un-adulterated and unapologetically yourself. That’s a common theme in a lot of my songs.”
Due to the postponement of her Manic World Tour, Halsey has been finding other ways to keep busy over the past few months. She recently announced that she is releasing her first poetry book. As well, she launched the Black Creators Funding Initiative which supports creators in the arts.
Earlier this month, her collab “Life’s A Mess” with late rapper Juice WRLD was released. The song is off of his posthumous album that came out last week. As well, there’s some speculation that Halsey may be releasing a collab with Machine Gun Kelly and blink-182‘s Travis Barker soon.
