Halsey Just Got A Familiar Face Tattooed On Her Side, And It's Pretty Badass
The day prior to Valentine's Day is normally thought of us a relatively uneventful occasion, save for the odd Galentine's Day meet-up in coffee shops around town. Singer Halsey must have decided the news day was much too slow and decided to throw the internet into the frenzy with a picture of her new tattoo!
Sometimes, people get some crazy tattoos. A singer named Kelsy Karter even got a tattoo of Harry Styles' face on her cheek! But she's not the only one who gets tattoos of someone's face, as proven by Halsey.
Halsey's new tattoo is in the shape of none other than Marilyn Manson, complete with mascara and black lipstick. The singer, who's been on a vacation in Australia, got the tattoo on her ribcage.
@halsey girl i KNOW that shit hurted i have two tattoos on my ribs & i’m not proud to say i have almost cried both times— ᴊᴏʀᴅᴀɴ (。♥u♥。) (@ᴊᴏʀᴅᴀɴ (。♥u♥。)) 1550047042.0
@halsey did it hurt? like some of my friends told me that getting this part of the body tattooed is hell— mindy 🦋 (@mindy 🦋) 1550046896.0
Halsey also kept her Twitter followers in the know about her new ink!

Though she did have to offer a small clarification...

This is far from Halsey's first body art...
But this particular tattoo was designed by Celia Dunne, an Adelaide tattoo artist. Her Instagram makes it clear why Halsey sought her out.

As if that weren't enough to turn around a dreary February 13, Halsey dropped yet another surprise on Instagram: a hint at a new upcoming song featuring Yungblud and Travis Barker!
And just like that, this Valentine's Day eve became one to remember, all thanks to Halsey and her commitment to quality tattoos!
perfect time for Halsey to debut this Marilyn Manson side tattoo https://t.co/l3DJuCCe3e— Molly Lambert 🦔 (@Molly Lambert 🦔) 1550101577.0
Halsey Totally Blew People Away By Painting An Incredible Self-Portrait While Singing On SNL
In case you don't know by now, Halsey is a renaissance artist.
She stunned Saturday Night Live audiences as both host and musical guest, an impressive feat very few have achieved. Donald Glover did it last spring and Paul Simon pulled duty back in 1975.
Not only is Halsey — whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane — a renowned singer and songwriter, but the 24-year-old wields a paintbrush as deftly as the microphone.
Studio audiences witnessed the multitasker working her magic as she sang "Eastside" for her second set of the night.
Halsey painted a self-portrait upside-down across the makeshift canvas floor. It was a groundbreaking performance that will probably never be attempted by another SNL host again.
Watch Halsey's performance of "Eastside" in the YouTube clip from SNL below.

People can't stop talking about her performance that ranked among the season's best, so far.

Flashy backup dancers are fierce and all, but her solo, a transformative performance, set the bar high for future SNL hosts.

Standing on the SNL stage was a dream come true moment for Halsey. In her opening monologue, she talked about how much she loved watching the show as a kid and "especially admired" the women cast members who "never cared what they looked like, what they sounded like or what anybody thought of them. They were just funny."
Now she's the one inspiring others with her legendary performance.
So, when is she coming back to SNL for round two?
After seven weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next," a follow-up to her hit album Sweetener, has finally fallen to number two while Halsey's "Without Me" has risen to the #1 spot.
Grande's reaction to Halsey usurping her throne was anything but competitive, however.
Though Halsey had a #1 billboard hit alongside The Chainsmokers for her performance in "Closer," this is the first time she's topped the charts as a solo act.
Halsey posted about the experience on Instagram, saying:
"#1 on billboard. wow. very overwhelmed and confused and so very very very VERY happy. This song came from a very lonely place, and brought me to one of the most loved and supported moments of my lifetime."
Halsey continued:
"This achievement is completely beyond my means of comprehending right now so I'll get back to you guys when I find more eloquent and compelling things to say. Right now my brain is a washing machine of emotion. On a very high cycle. I love you very much."
Instead of throwing shade, Grande took to social media to show her support for Halsey.
On her Instagram, she wrote:
"F*ck it up @iamhalsey. To girls on top all 2019."
Halsey responded to Arianna's message:
"Luv u bb. Dynamic women who are headstrong + compassionate all 2019."
Twitter loved the supportive relationship between the two pop stars!

You're not just imagining the girl power dominating the Billboard music charts.
When Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" rose to number three during Christmas (as it does annually), it marked the first time since 2014 that the three most popular songs were performed by female artists.

Both Ariana and Halsey's songs happen to be about famous break-ups as well.
Grande's song, available here, names names as she speaks about how grateful she is for the good men she's dated...
Ariana Grande - thank u, nextyoutu.be
...but Halsey takes a different tack. "Without Me" is available here.
Halsey - Without Meyoutu.be
In October 2018, during an interview with Zach Sang, Halsey spoke of how the song was meant to address her toxic breakup with rapper G-Eazy:
"I'll tell you what. It happened when I looked at my relationships all around me."
"All of them – cause this song is not just about one — and it made me sit down and go 'I feel like I've given so much to relationships with people in my life and I'm getting nothing back'… and so I cut a lot of people out of my life."
"Some temporarily, obviously, because G and I are back together. And some permanently."

Since recording that interview, Halsey and G-Eazy have broken up once again.

In our modern day and age, Ariana and Halsey know there's no need to be competitive with each other when both ultra-talented women created great songs that the whole world's into.
There's plenty of love to go around!

Halsey's Response To Someone Calling Her A 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl' On Twitter Is Legendary 😂
If you come at the Queen, you best not miss. Halsey, the singer behind "Closer" and "Bad at Love," got called out on Twitter for resembling the stereotypical image of a "manic pixie dream girl," a term used in film circles to describe a female love interest who "exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." Some examples of the MPDG include Natalie Portman's character in Garden State, and Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown.
What the Twitter jokester probably didn't expect, however, was for Halsey herself to shoot him a reply!
When @badboyblues cracked this joke on Twitter, he probably wasn't imagining it would go very far:

One fan asked Halsey what was the problem with Doc Martens , to which she charmingly responded:
Nothing lmao! everything I named is things I love. I'm self aware enough to know when a meme / drag about me is true hahahaha.
Though she's self-deprecating in silly moments, Halsey is also well-known for standing up for herself online if she feels the issue is important. The star, who is bisexual, has written about bi-erasure on several occasions. In December 2017, she posted this message:
So if I'm dating a guy I'm straight, and if I date a woman, I'm a lesbian. The only way to be a #True bisexual is to date 2 people at once.
Halsey's fans are amplifying her message to the world!
