In a newly surfaced TikTok video filmed during a meet-and-greet in early 2024 to promote her About-Face beauty brand, a fan asked Halsey about her past taste in music, namely the hardcore genre.
Halsey replied âI super fuck with hardcore,â before going on to explain that she used to book gigs at 16-years-old in New Jersey: âI used to promote hardcore shows in Jersey before I started making music. I did a lot of hardcore, but also like, some of the more commercial hardcore.â
She continued: âThe biggest show I ever booked â I was 16 â August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada. Like I said, a little more commercial. My senior yearbook quote was a Defeater lyric. You guessed right, I was for sure a hardcore kid.â
