Halsey Used Confessions of Ex-Boyfriend in SNL Performance
As is befitting a superstar of her height and stature, Halsey has used her SNL performance to regain her power. The singer was on the show as the host, and she put on a powerful performance as the musical guest, as confessions from an ex-boyfriend who cheated lit up behind her.
She explained her performance more in detail on Twitter the next day.
as an artist, I have a privilege to remain honest and write about what’s true to me.
as a woman, I have a responsibility to not allow myself to be silenced by someone who has done me wrong.
my truth will always come through in my art. death over silence, yo.

Many fans suspect the performance and song are about rapper G-Eazy. The two were in a very public relationship from 2017-2018. Romance rumors started when they released their song “Him & I.” In the song, he even references knowing better than to cheat on her. Halsey’s note to fans about their breakup led a lot of them to believe he cheated.”I am eager to continue the upcoming passage of time dedicating myself to my art and my career… I wish him the best,” she said.
She’s not the first person to use their art to call someone out for cheating. Beyonce famously wrote a whole album about Jay-Z’s infidelities. And Cardi B’s song “Be Careful” is about past boyfriends being unfaithful and asking her current man to protect her heart.
