Halsey on why she's proud to be a 'Nightmare,' her first Grammy night GRAMMYsFYC
I was coming off the cusp of “Without Me.” It was a very honest moment reflecting the immediate events in my life. And through the process of having the world have an opinion [on] your recovery from emotional trauma, you’re reminded a lot about misogyny. How often women are demonized: their anger is unjustified, their rage is unwelcome, their betrayal likely self-inflicted in some way.
The song was received as a shift toward rock and politics, but both things have been in your music from the start“Nightmare” was a crossover moment for me, where I needed my radio fans to understand me if they don’t have the entry point of track 13 on my first album where I’m saying, “Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me? Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?” There’s a true reckless abandon in my shows.
OK, so here’s what I’m learning: I’m difficult to digest in three minutes, because I’m really talkative and opinionated. But if people get a longer period of time to get to know me, the result is more positive. I was originally planning on making a really short album, and I started making a really fucking long album. It’s counterintuitive in 2019 to do that. Everyone wants short albums for playability. I’ve never really worked that way. The album is the point of why I do this.
The coolest thing for me was that I brought my dad. My dad is a massive Metallica fan, and we sat in front of Metallica, so he kept trying not to turn around the whole show, looking over his shoulder. I was like, “Dad, they can tell you’re doing that.” That was the year that Metallica and Lady Gaga performed together. I remember the pyro. It was just fucking cool.
Everybody is nervous and trying to pretend like they don’t care [about the Grammys]. But everybody does care. A lot. I understand the sentiment of not making music for awards. At the same time, there is something really powerful about being validated by a organization that you — probably since you were a small child — has been considered the pinnacle of the power of music. There’s still something amazing about that.
