Halsey has been announced as the next guest on Owen Thiele’s podcast, “In Your Dreams.” The episode will be out at midnight PT. Here is a preview:

Entertainment Weekly have released an exclusive image of Halsey as Mandy Starr in ‘Americana. The film is scheduled to release on August 22nd, 2025. Continue reading for more information on Halsey’s character.

Halsey can summarize her character in one word: “Badass.”

“She’s holding on to a pretty profound secret that is eating her alive a little bit,” the singer/actress says of her character. “She’s really struggling with wanting to do the right thing and be a good person. It’s been challenging for her because she’s been done wrong by so many people that she’s trusted.”

A bit of a wild child, Mandy has a “very small found family” that Halsey describes as different from the one she was born to. “A lot of people will resonate with growing up under circumstances out of their control,” she says, “and wanting to do better and break these generational curses.”

Mandy also finds inspiration in music icons — for her, as evidenced by her hairstyle, it’s Joan Jett. “She aspires to be these badass women who don’t really take s— from anyone around them,” she explains. “Women who carved out their own path and have a voice and something to say. Mandy’s still finding her way to becoming those women that she admires.”

As for Mandy’s connection to the artifact, all Halsey will say is, “Mandy has a great ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time — or at the right time, depending on how you look at it.”

Halsey and Avan Jogia met up with Halsey’s ex, Alev Aydin, who is the father of her son, Ender, on April 7th.

Halsey performed at Sips & Sounds Music Festival at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas on March 7th, 2025. She performed her new song ‘safeword for the first time, which you can watch below. Orange songs in setlist are linked to videos!
