latest cover star, posing on the magazine's"Hot Issue" smoldering in a white tank and all-natural face. Giving the magazine a no holds barred interview that started with a chat over rosé, Halsey opens up to Alex Morris in a candid conversation that sees the two recounting the singer's"troubled past" and"chaotic present."
While the artist we've come to know under the anagram of her given name has obviously overcome some hurdles on her road to pop-stardom, she's more than willing to offer the gritty details and help those who need it.She tells the magazine,"I'm not just some fucking martyr who's trying to make all of these lost, misfit kids feel better; I need them to help me feel normal too.
Halsey was basically homeless before hitting it big in music and was couch-surfing around Bed-Stuy and the Lower East Side."I remember one time I had $9 in my bank account," she tells,"and bought a four-pack of Red Bull and used it to stay up overnight over the course of two or three days, because it was less dangerous to not sleep than it was to sleep somewhere random and maybe get raped or kidnapped.
After being accepted to the Rhode Island School of Design and not being able to afford it, she attended community college briefly before dropping out at the age of 19.was released due to the strain of her hectic schedule and difficult lifestyle, but admits,"I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world."
