In a poignant speech, Halsey, who identifies with she/they pronouns, shared their traumatic experience of having a miscarriage while on tour at age 20. Despite the physical pain and emotional turmoil, they performed that night for an audience of 1,200. Halsey emphasized the unrealistic expectations placed on women to perform under such circumstances, likening their treatment to that of a machine, rather than a human being. Their story resonated with many, including fellow celebrities like Christina, who echoed similar experiences of working through personal trauma, prompting a broader dialogue on the topic.
"I remember laying in a bed in a hotel room with a towel between my legs, bleeding and staring at my very young, very scared, very male managers who had no idea what was going on."
"I took a Percocet and put on an adult incontinence diaper and I wore a long T-shirt that would cover it and I got on stage and I performed in front of about 1,200 screaming teenage girls."
