Halsey stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and delivered a performance to remember. It's even more impressive when you take into account it was her first TV performance of "Colors" ever. The song is taken from her debut album Badlands, and is the singer's newest single that she recently announced to fans on the side of a building in Brooklyn. On Twitter, Halsey thanked host Jimmy Fallon and her fans following the performance.
One of the most nervous live performances I've ever done but I ❤️ performing colors. Thanks @jimmyfallon for making me feel right at home ☺️
Thank you guys for watching and for giving me the opportunity to re-fall in love with "Colors" everyday.
This is just another exciting and mesmerizing performance from the 21-year-old singer, who recently delivered an explicit cover of Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" on Triple J radio. She also appeared during Biebs' set on the TODAY show last year. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Halsey opened up about that performance with Bieber and the surrounding dating rumors. "I also learned how quickly I could go from having never met someone to having the world think I'm dating them. My mom texted me, 'Are you dating Justin Bieber?' I was like, "Mom, what the fuck? Don't you think I would tell you?" But when we performed on the Today show, it was just so real, so emotive, so evocative — two people connecting in this love song. There was a moment where I think he and I were both kind of like, "Are we... Are we... is this real?"
She also elaborated on how her Purpose collaboration "The Feeling" came about. "You hear, 'Oh, Justin would never put a no-name like Halsey on his record. [Bieber's manager] Scooter must be representing her,' which isn't the case at all! But they asked, and, like, pop music is fucking fascinating to me."
