And I have to kind of balance that every time I do something.

I got up to go use the restroom on the plane.

That was a sad moment for me because I had felt so good.

I was like on TV and on the carpet and I was like, Im doing it again.

Im great, and everythings good.

And it made me emotional because I was kind of like, Im still sick.

This is forever now.

Halsey has been performing a string of album release shows in support ofThe Great Impersonator.
