Halsey Says Acting Career Helped Her Remove Herself From Stage Persona As a Singer: ‘Being A Solo Artist Is Really Lonely’
Halsey recently revealed that their move to Hollywood and make movies has given them an opportunity to shed the singer persona. Through the singer’s real name Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, who uses she/they pronouns interchangeably, the singer has been embracing her stage name Halsey in her music profession. She narrated how acting has enabled her to take a break from Halsey as well, especially with recent films such as Americana (2023) and Maxxxine (2024).
For instance, Frangipane described their contest with her stage persona as an actor in a soap opera. They stated that just like an actor getting drudgery from acting a particular role for too long, they also said that they had started losing contact with their Halsey character. The stage name, which was just supposed to be that, after some time, turned out to be associated with being more than just a name but a persona.
“I always compare Halsey to Grey’s Anatomy, where everybody who did Grey’s Anatomy, I’m sure they loved it, but after 25 seasons, they’re like, I can’t play Meredith anymore,” the Lilith singer told Paper Magazine.
“That’s kind of how I felt about Halsey, which brought up an even greater existential question: ‘Why do I feel like I’m playing Halsey?’ It’s meant to be just a stage name, not necessarily a persona, and I realized at that point it has kind of grown into a persona, which I never really intended for it to,” they added.
As credited in these projects, her name remains Halsey, though the performances allowed the Colors singer to indulge in diverse roles that were separate from herself. Thanks to acting, she did not have the burdensome obligation to immerse herself and manage every detail of the creative process that usually happens when she is composing her music. Here, she was not the one who had to bear the brunt of those more creative tasks, leaving them to the director and production staff, but rather was just an additional piece in someone else’s vision.
She also enjoyed the fact that she could try a different approach to making art since acting involves working with other people. Working as a solo artist, the 29-year-old singer revealed that she is lonely – most people would not comprehend that feeling. She said, “It was nice to be new at something, be a part of a community and collaborate. Being a solo artist is a really lonely venture. I don’t think people realize how lonely it is.”
Halsey’s fifth studio album The Great Impersonator arrives on October 25.

“Don’t Say…”: Top Court On CBI’s Argument Against Bail For Arvind Kejriwal
Granting bail to Arvind Kejriwal will not “demoralise” the Delhi High Court, which last month refused the Chief Minister relief over his arrest by the CBI in the alleged liquor policy scam, the Supreme Court said Thursday. A bench of Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Surya Kant waved away the federal agency’s argument against releasing the AAP leader, saying, “Don’t say that.”
Appearing for the CBI, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju also argued that Mr Kejriwal had incorrectly bypassed the lower court – i.e., Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court – and approached the High Court for bail.
“He approached High Court without going to Sessions Court… on merits, trial court could have seen it first. High Court can only see in exceptional cases…” he said, declaring releasing Mr Kejriwal now would demotivate the High Court.
The CBI’s logic also drew a sarcastic swipe from AAP MP Raghav Chadha, who posted on X, “If the Sun rises from the East, it will demoralise the West.”
In early August the High Court rejected Mr Kejriwal’s bail plea, directing him to approach the sessions court for relief. The AAP, however, opted to move the country’s top court, citing its observation in the release of ex Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, that “sending the appellant back to the trial court would be like playing a game of snakes and ladders…“
After Thursday’s hearing the top court reserved its verdict on Mr Kejriwal’s bail plea. The court also reserved its verdict on a separate plea challenging the CBI’s arrest of the Chief Minister.
The AAP chief was arrested by the CBI in June; he was taken into custody at the Rouse Avenue Court shortly after securing bail for his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the same case.

Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Mr Kejriwal, criticised the CBI’s arrest as an “insurance” to keep the AAP leader in jail for as long as possible, particularly with the Delhi Assembly election due early next year. Mr Singhvi pointed out Arvind Kejriwal had received bail in the ED case, which meant he had fully satisfied the ‘triple test’ legal principle for release.

It was also pointed out that all others accused in the alleged liquor policy scam – Mr Sisodia and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, as well as Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha – had bail.

“Prolonged incarceration cannot be there…” Mr Singhvi said, referring to statements by the top court in releasing Mr Sisodia, “Is ‘triple test’ satisfied? Yes… in the Manish Sisodia judgment, the court held that in this particular case of excise policy, trial is impossible to finish.”
Mr Kejriwal has been in jail since late-March. He received temporary reprieve in June, before Delhi voted in the general election, but had to return to Tihar Jail after the results were out.
The ED and CBI contend Arvind Kejriwal played a key role in forming of a new liquor excise policy for Delhi, which allowed him to sell wholesale licences and get kickbacks, around Rs 100 crore of which, the authorities claim, came from a ‘South group’ led by the BRS’ K Kavitha.
This money, the agencies allege, was used to fund the AAP’s election expenses in Goa.
Mr Kejriwal, the AAP, and other accused have denied the charge, counter-accusing rivals Bharatiya Janata Party, to whose government at the centre the agencies answer, of mounting a campaign against opposition politicians and parties, particularly before elections.
