Halsey Shares What Inspired Her Debut Poetry Collection: 'Some Things You Can't Sing'

"I mean, I certainly initially feel like I have a sense of responsibility because I do find that people in my position very often only share the good, you know?" she said. "So I do feel responsible to share, kind of, my transgressions and my traumas, in a way. Obviously I still keep some things to myself, 'cause I have to have some boundaries. But I was kind of an open book from the start, so I wanted to keep being that way."

To do so, the pop star looked to the generation of celebrities that grew up in the spotlight before her. "I was born in 1994. So the pop star generation that I grew up with was very tailored and very sterile," Halsey said. "Everyone was incredibly talented; it was one of the greatest crop of musicians we've ever had in that era -- that kind of, like, late MTV era. But everyone was also very polished.

"You know, we saw what the record label wanted us to see. We saw images that were published in magazines," she continued. "And obviously, that stuff started changing when the paparazzi era really evolved, and then all the dark stuff was being shared when the artists didn't want it to be. You know, there was no consent in it. So I think now it's about kind of finding a nice balance between pulling back the curtain in a way that I have control over and also learning to keep some stuff to myself because it's healthy to do so. But I think my fans just deserve it."
