Singer, songwriter and multi-hyphenate icon Halsey has been making headlines since Wednesday afternoon afer posting three pictures of herself from a photoshoot. As the serious journalist that I am, I happen to know her publicist, so I begged him to get me an interview with her. Anyway, here’s everything that we talked about:
Adler: It’s an honor to meet you, Halsey.
Halsey: Hiii…. thank you.
Adler: I’m so excited to be talking to you… I’m a huge fan. Huuuge. Hard core.
Halsey: Thank you… thank you so much!
Adler: I only found out about you yesterday, when I was told I had to interview you… but I stayed up all night listening to your music and reading up about you… and eating pistachio macarons, if you want to get specific.
Halsey: [laughs] Awww. Sounds like a great night.
Adler: It was a disastrous night…. Now I need to go work out for seven hours to compensate for the 17 macarons I ate.
Halsey: [laughs]
Adler: But you are seriously talented, you know that? You sing like an absolute angel, your songs are incredible, and I read that you also paint…?! You may just be the most talented person I know, after me. I’m also super talented.
Halsey: [laughs] Well, thank you.
Adler: So… what’s going on with you? Is there anything… [looks at Halsey’s belly] exciting going on in your life?
Halsey: Uhh yes! … I have a new makeup line, actually. It’s called—
Adler: About-face… I know… I read 37 articles about it last night and I’ve never worn makeup in my life… Is there anything else… anything more personal? [looks at Halsey’s belly again]
Halsey: Well… I published a new book a few months ago… it’s a collection of poems…
Adler: No. Not that!
Halsey: [looks confused]
Adler: I mean…. I know… I ordered it from Amazon last night…. it arrives tomorrow…. Anything else? Maybe something [looks intensely at her stomach] that’s deep inside of you?
Halsey: Oh… [laughs and touches her belly] yes… I’m having a baby!
Adler: Okayyyy, good! …. So you ARE pregnant!
Halsey: Yes… of course. I announced it yesterday on Instagram!
Adler: No… You posted pictures of yourself with your top off, with the caption: “Surprise!” … But I was told to NEVER assume that a woman is pregnant …. you could’ve just been severely constipated as far as I know.
Halsey: [laughs] Nope… I’m definitely pregnant!
Adler: Well…..Congrats! I’ve pretty much known since yesterday that you’ve always wanted to be a mother.
Halsey: Yeah… for a long time I didn’t think that having a family was something I was going to be able to do… and the fact that it’s happening is just… well, it’s a miracle.
Adler: [smiles at Halsey] And now that I know you’re not dangerously bloated… I can truly appreciate how happy and radiant you look.
Halsey: [laughs] Thanks…?
Adler: So, who’s, you know, the dad…. the baby’s pop… the dadonator?
Halsey: Uh… my boyfriend, Alev…. Alev Aydin.
Adler: Never heard of him.
Halsey: He’s a screenwriter… and producer.
Adler: Have I seen his work? What shows has he written? Can he support this baby?
Halsey: Uh… have you seen Small Shots? It’s on Netflix. It’s a really—
Adler: No.
Halsey: Well, it’s great. You should check it out…
[Silence]
Adler: Anyway… I know you have to go to do something brilliant so… thank you so much for doing this.
Halsey: Oh, no, thank you!
Adler: By the way, your publicist gave me your email so, if you want, I can send you names for the baby….
Halsey: Oh, that’s not—
Adler: Is it a boy or a girl? … You know what, it doesn’t matter. I’ll send you names for both genders.
