Halsey 'Ugly Cried' During Packed Performance In Hometown New Jersey: I'll Never Be The Same'

Halsey has some new updates about her New Jersey show, and it's all positive!

This comes after the award-winning artist shared details about rehearsals for the concert amid her "Love & Power" Tour, guaranteeing that there would be a live orchestra performance on stage.

She came through on her promise alongside delivering a phenomenal show, making her all emotional as she reflected on the experience in captivating photos.

Halsey recently recounted her performance in her home state, New Jersey, where she had a magical show on Thursday, June 22. She uploaded several photos from the occasion on her Instagram feed, showing her doing her thing on stage and how packed the auditorium was.

In the first image, she was photographed belting out some tunes on stage and looking retro in black high-waist pants, a white sleeveless collared shirt, a long black tie, and matching black and white chunky heels. 

The second slide showed her playing the piano to the crowd and singing into the attached microphone, followed by a picture of three violinists playing violins.

In an emotional snapshot, the suicide prevention advocate was seen sitting on stairs and weeping as she tried to wipe it with a cloth. In the following images, she was captured in different positions on stage, highlighted by red and blue lights before the carousel ended with a view of the filled hall captured from above.

Expressing how much the night affected her emotionally, Halsey began in the caption, "Wept like a baby in my home state onstage last night. Full on ugly cried." "Music is magic. Night 1 of the Orchestra summer shows is complete, and I'll never be the same again. Thank you. Again tonight @njpac – Photos by @yasi, of course." 

Fans were quick to shower the "Without Me" singer with praises in the comments section, with some acknowledging how touching her performance was. One admirer exclaimed, "Best performance ever! I still have chills!!" A second wrote, "Tears were cried." One more follower could not believe Halsey played piano on stage.

A fourth fan gushed, "I get to see you for the first time tonight after having you be my #1 artist on Spotify since room 93; you have earned every ounce of love you get on this orchestra leg. We love you so much!!!!!!!" A fellow supporter remarked, "Halsey!!! You are a BEAUTIFUL soul!!"  while another praised, "The show looked INCREDIBLE! I'm so very proud of you."

Similarly, one commenter gushed, "It was the most intimate and beautiful show I have ever seen. Thank you for last night – the songs played have so much more meaning in my heart now."

Before the memorable New Jersey night, Halsey shared snippets from her rehearsals, where she was joined by her son Ender. As seen on her Instagram, she was photographed on stage in one slide, carrying the tot, who wore large headphones and held a microphone.

The 28-year-old was filmed having fun with her son amid prepping, with the little keeping busy by playing with a drum set. Taking to the caption, the "Closer" songstress announced her "String ensemble shows" would start that night, promising it would be a "family affair."  

Halsey's riveting performance in her hometown comes days after she shared a similar emotional reaction to her successful show in Bahrain as part of her "Love & Power" Tour.

Per reports, the  "Closer" songstress was met with a rough but "energetic" crowd, but that didn't stop her from being thankful for the milestone she had achieved. She shared some pictures highlighting her magnificence on stage and appreciated her fans' support at the "Groundbreaking and History Making show."

The "Room 93" star further wrote in the caption, "First ever summer concert (and during Pride at that!) and a first for foreign female headliners. The crowd was unbelievable; SO much energy. Thank you for having me!" 

Several fans, in response, thanked her for gracing the country alongside a few who apologized for how disorderly the male audience was during her "crowd interaction." Several also noted how terrible the security was as they did nothing while "grown** men kept pushing and shoving" fellow attendees.
