She devotes her time to causes, which are dedicated to events such as the Women’s March, participating in awareness campaigns for mental health and suicide prevention, and making generous donations for planned parenthood.

“I’m in my 20s so I’m constantly evolving,” noted Halsey Marie Claire in 2018. “When I was writing about my Playboy cover, someone said,” Oh, you showed your tits in Playboy but you name it you a feminist? ‘ I said, “Yes, dude. In a year I performed at the Nobel Peace Prize [Concert] In Oslo, I donated $ 100,000 to Planned Parenthood, got my first Grammy nomination, showed my tits in Playboy, and did about 150 tequila shots. I’ve done all of these things, and that’s because I’m multidimensional. ”
