Halsey Says Acting Career Helped Her Remove Herself From Stage Persona As a Singer: ‘Being A Solo Artist Is Really Lonely’
More recently, Halsey (whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns) has shared that transitioning to Hollywood and filmmaking has allowed them to step away from their singer identity. In their music career, Halsey has found it empowering to fully embrace her stage name. Notably, this shift also allows for a pause in being Halsey, particularly with upcoming movies like Americana (2023) and Maxxxine (2024).
