When news broke that these two, who met briefly at the 2015 VMAs, were teaming up for a track, Halsey revealed that many fans “hated it,” saying that not only did were their styles mismatched, but that Halsey was “selling out” to mainstream music. It’s something she couldn’t disagree with more.
“I don’t feel like I compromised any sort of integrity,” she said. “I don’t feel I will get another opportunity as perfect as this... it’s a scary thing for me because coming up as an alternative artist and then kind of slowly making this breach into the mainstream and then out of nowhere, this collaboration with Justin Bieber.”
She continued, It’s like a lot of people were like, ’f–k you, you sold out,’ and I kind of beg to differ. I think it’s the opposite because it’s 2015. Justin Bieber is cool. He’s cool as hell. It’s 2015. I don’t think that’s the case at all, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
I don’t feel I will get another opportunity as perfect as this, and Sonny was really really awesome in the production and the styling of the collaboration,
Sold out from what? She went from being a basic teenage girl to a faux edgy faux hipster. To sell out would imply you had some type of artistic integrity in the first place
I don't like her but she is right, the music genre stigma is soo 2008. You can listen to Blur, Meghan Trainor and Kendrick Lamar and that doesn't invalidate your music taste tbh
The fact that she and her stans thinks she is an alternative artist when her album is as pop as it can get I love her music but I really wish she would stop talking

Does she even know what selling out is? It's not about who's cool and who isn't.
Typical social justice warrior who always has a defense for their own hypocrisy.
