Halsey Claps Back to Defend Concert Speech on Abortion Rights
After facing criticism for the political statement, the "Not Afraid Anymore" singer disagreed with the notion that they get paid to sing, not express their views. In a new tweet, Halsey called the argument "so dumb."
"No, you paid to see me use a stage as a form of expression in the manner that I choose," Halsey wrote on June 29. "Sorry you lack the critical thinking to realize that the rhetorical power of music doesn't always serve your escapism." They continued, "Honored to have my audience. Proud they cultivate a space where emotion and action meet. Love doing what I do. And expect me to always tell the truth when I get up there. Show must go on."
