Halsey Regrets Music Return Amid Harsh Fan Criticism
Halsey has expressed regret about her return to music following the release of her new single, “Lucky,” due to the harsh criticism from fans. In a candid Tumblr post, she admitted feeling disheartened by the negativity, stating that the hostility from her own fans has been overwhelming. She mentioned that what was once a minority of harsh critics now seems to be a majority, which has made her question her decision to reengage with the music industry.
The singer, who uses she/they pronouns and has faced significant health challenges, including lupus and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, shared that the harsh reactions have dampened her enthusiasm. Halsey revealed that, despite her initial excitement about returning to music after her illness, the adverse response to “Lucky” has led her to regret her comeback. She emphasized that she no longer wants to engage in activities that do not bring her joy, expressing a deep sense of disillusionment with the current state of her career.
