Playing Sorry in Chicago would transcend time and be like hugging the 17 year old girl who latched onto that song and the HFK album in 2017 when it came out that summer. Nearly a decade later and That Song continues to soothe and quiet the voice in my head that tries to say “you will never do enough to be deserving of the love you desire in life” …

halsey - for my last trick tour 🐇🪄🌀 alpharetta, ga

I avoided concert videos of this tour until I was able to attend. I've never done that before, I've always wanted to consume media however I could, as much as I could, and as quickly as I could. I realized that there was a stark difference between watching a video and being at a live event and have always just allowed myself to enjoy media in whatever form it came to me.

For the first time though, I avoided this tour. I bought my tickets and then I avoided everything except the actual album itself. I wanted to experience everything: the outfits, the set list, the staging, for the first time, live. And I wish I hadnt because I was awestruck the entire night. I don’t remember anything that actually happened, just how I felt. I couldn't record or take pictures; I was just amazed. This tour is one of the best shows I've ever seen. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with my personal connection to the music and the parasocial relationship I have with Halsey. But a good amount can just be attributed to her brain and artistic execution. It was a beautiful show. Its amazing to see what can happen when a label supports and artists vision and trusts that they know their audience. And the first half of the show was like being thrown into a freezing lake.

Halsey is known for intimate, crowd-driven performances, even with an audience of thousands, and this is mostly achieved through the rapport she has built with her fan base that pulses through every show. You can feel it in the air, the commraderie, shared love, and genuine acceptance that travels to every venue. Except this one. This was was a piece of theater with Ashley Frangipane as its leading lady. I didn't recognize the woman on stage for a while. There were glimpses of my "old friend" but the empath in me was hurt by the facade I was seeing and it was scary at first, not to be acknowledged and to worry that this would be the entire performance. Just a performance of the songs, beautiful and technically what I paid for but still lacking in a difficult to explain way.

This video is from my second time seeing the show. It's the first time we really see Halsey, the 16 year old we all grew up with on Tumblr, on that stage. Just peeking through before she falls back into character. Thankfully, this is acknowledged and we get a much more familiar second act but I remember this being the only time I cried during this show. Ashley has always had a way of relating to fans and putting our emotions into words we didn't know we were looking for. But this show did that for me more than anything else ever has.

We all hide behind masks and characters, right? We're different people for different situations and relationships. And it can be exhausting but, it's also really easy to fall into the trap of believing that no one would care for you if they saw the true person. So you keep up appearances and hope that you'll find a safe space one day.
