Why I Cried At The Halsey Concert

Because she's perfect, that's why.

Why I Cried At The Halsey Concert
Drew Hill

Here I am once again, writing about music. If you hate it, I'm not sorry. It's the only thing I care about that is not edible and that I cannot wear.

Nevertheless, I finally went to another concert and let me just say I WAS LIVING!!! That is that eighth concert I've been to and this was definitely one of the best ones!

First of all, I saw Halsey who is a queen, a sweetheart and an inspiration to me. I've loved her for a few years now and when she did her Badlands tour she didn't come to a place that was close and convenient for me, so I didn't get to see her.

Halsey is a sweetheart because she gives so much to her fans and cares so much about them.

She also puts her heart and soul into her music and it really means a lot to her and it means a lot to us and I really think that that is so beautiful and important.

Halsey often writes songs about difficult subjects but the way that she is so open and honest about her struggles and her past is so pure and sweet to me.

Halsey is an inspiration to me especially because she's young and confident and she does what she wants.

Most importantly, Halsey is bisexual and having a positive bi role model is really important not just for me but for younger people who don't really see themselves or their sexuality represented in a positive way.

The aesthetic is everything to me.

Why else would it be one of my favorite words?

Halsey's tour is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing shows I have ever witnessed.

She had confetti, pyrotechnics and amazing lighting. There was water, wardrobe changes, video visuals and colorful visuals. She truly puts on a show for the ears as well as the eyes.

As far as setlists go, it could've been better. I'm being brutally honest when I say that Badlands was not her best work so there were a few songs that she sang from that album where I was like "eh."

I mean obviously, I was still screaming and dying but less so... But my favorite song on the setlist was "Is There Somewhere" because it's so heartfelt and that song happens to be about another one of my favorite people.

I've cried to it so many times and just hearing it live made me feel so much that I started sobbing. Which doesn't sound like it would be my favorite but it is because it's one of her older songs and the fact that she still performs it makes my heart happy.

My favorite moments were both of the confetti drops she did because they were so beautiful yet so unexpected. She even has butterfly-shaped confetti that I still have pieces of in my purse.

Halsey gets up close with her fans and lets them hug her and touch her and it feels so intimate like friends hanging out and not people in an arena to see a star.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
