She began gathering an online following through her music in 2012 (predominantly through Platform/{{Tumblr}}), and two years later released her [[BreakthroughHit breakout hit]] "Ghost" to [=SoundCloud=]. Among the several record labels that came knocking, she signed with Astralwerks as she felt they gave her the most creative control. Her rapid rise to success began with the release of her debut EP ''Room 93'' on the label, after which she co-headlined with Young Rising Sons and performed as an opening act for Music/ImagineDragons and Music/TheWeeknd. Around the same time, she was working on her debut album, which released under the title ''Badlands'' in August 2015; she embarked on her first solo tour, in support of the album, the following month. In 2016, she collaborated with Music/TheChainsmokers on their song "Closer", which became a #1 hit almost immediately after it was released.

All of her albums thus far have debuted in the top 2 of the ''Billboard'' 200. Her second album, 2017's ''hopeless fountain kingdom'', was her first #1 debut on the chart and generated her first top-five single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 with "Bad at Love". Her third album, 2020's ''MANIC'', became the first album released in the year to be certified Platinum by the RIAA, and achieved her biggest opening week to date (239,000 sales) as well her most commercially successful single in "Without Me", which became her second #1 hit (and first as a solo artist) and was eventually certified Diamond. Her fourth album, 2021's ''If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power'', [[NewSoundAlbum departed from her previous work]] for a dark [[{{Industrial}} industrial]]-influenced sound; it was fittingly produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Music/NineInchNails, [[PromotedFangirl whom she had long been a fan of]].

As of 2020, Halsey has sold over 1 million albums and received over 6 billion streams in the United States. She is known for her candid attitude and online presence, liberal sociopolitical views, and advocacy for causes such as LGBT rights[[note]]as she is openly bisexual and has dated women in the past[[/note]], reproductive rights and mental health awareness[[note]]as she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after a suicide attempt at age 17[[/note]].

In March 2021, Halsey announced she uses they/them along with she/her pronouns. She is currently in a relationship with Turkish-American screenwriter Alev Aydin; they have a son together, Ender, born July 2021.
