After releasing her new single and video for “Lucky” last week, Halsey stated that she “remorse[s] coming again” after some followers criticized her return to music.
In a submit on her Tumblr web page tiredandlonelymuse, the singer said that she is sad with followers who’ve “caught round to chime in sometimes with their opinion of how a lot they hate me or how terrible I’m.”
“My very own followers are arms down meaner to me than another folks on the planet,” she wrote. “Not talking for all of you, after all. But it surely was only a minority that had been terrible to me and now it looks as if a majority have solely caught round to chime in sometimes with their opinion of how a lot they hate me or how terrible I’m. it’s onerous to need to have interaction in an area that’s fully devoid of any kindness, sympathy, endurance; or to be sincere human decency. Particularly after years of hiding from the interactions for concern that this EXACT factor would occur. I don’t know man. I virtually misplaced my life. I’m not gonna do something that doesn’t make me glad anymore. I can’t spiritually afford it.”
Although it’s unclear which criticisms she’s addressing, Halsey stated that after she was identified with lupus and a uncommon T-cell lymphoproliferative dysfunction in 2022, she was excited to return to music. However the response she acquired so far to “Fortunate” has led her to remorse her resolution.

“Fortunate” is the primary single off her upcoming fifth album, which is at the moment with out a launch date. The tune interpolates Britney Spears’ 2000 single of the identical title, with Halsey claiming Spears herself gave approval. For the video, she drew inspiration from Spears’ visuals and its idea that steered fame isn’t at all times what it appears.
Shortly after the video’s launch, Spears took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that the portrayal offended her and made her appear like a “superficial pop star.” She swiftly deleted the submit and as a substitute tweeted, “Faux information !!! That was not me on my cellphone !!! I like Halsey and that’s why I deleted it !!!”
Halsey responded by retweeting Spears, writing, “and I like Britney!!!! I at all times have and at all times will 💕 you had been the primary one that ever made me understand what it means to really feel impressed. And also you proceed to encourage me on a regular basis.”
