Halsey: The Pop Star that Refuses to Fit Your Stereotype
As we’ve explored throughout the podcast, the music industry loves to put people in a box. For pop stars, the expectations are strict – be a sexy, womanly figure that men will find desirable and keep your opinions to yourself.
But Halsey (she/they) can’t be contained by stereotypes or expectations of what “should be.” Since entering the spotlight at 20 years-old, Halsey has been very loud about being bisexual, biracial, and bipolar, but her personhood is much deeper than those labels. They’ve also advocated for women’s rights, reproductive health, Black Live Matter, and just to name a few a causes they’re passionate about.
Throughout their career, Halsey has grappled with expressing every part of herself while combating the pressure to be the perfect pop star, and has often faced criticism for not being gay enough or female enough or black enough.
In this episode we’re diving into Halsey’s career to discuss the challenges she faced, what they’ve come to learn as a result of it, and how ultimately, her cult-like following of fans is what propelled her to stardom.
