With a string of chart-topping hits and accolades, including three Billboard Music Awards and a nomination for three Grammy Awards, Halsey has become a household name in the music industry.
Gaining attention from her self-released music on social media platforms, Halsey signed with Astralwerks in 2014 and released her debut extended play, Room 93, in October of that year. Her debut studio album, Badlands, followed in 2015, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and receiving double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In 2016, Halsey's collaboration with The Chainsmokers on their single "Closer" topped the charts in the US and ten countries, receiving 14 platinum certification by the RIAA.

In 2018, Halsey's single "Eastside," a collaboration with Benny Blanco and Khalid, found continued success, peaking within the top ten. Later that year, she was moved to Capitol Records, where she released her third studio album, Manic, in 2020. The album became her best-selling album worldwide, with lead single "Without Me" peaking at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving diamond certification by the RIAA.
Halsey has been open about her struggles with mental health, bipolar disorder, and miscarriage, using her platform to raise awareness and reduce stigma around these issues. She has also been an advocate for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ issues, and environmental causes.
