Halsey set the bar high with not one, but two memorable performances on Saturday Night Live.
The songbird, who made her return to the SNL stage last night (January 25), opened her highly anticipated set with the first televised performance of her country-inspired single, âYou Should Be Sad.â Much like she did for the songâs music video, Halsey opted for her signature cowgirl look with a cowboy hat and matching boots, only this time encrusting her ensemble in rhinestones.
After appearing in the skit âSlowâ with SNL host Adam Driver, the pop star hit the stage once again to mellow things out with a cool, soul-bearing performance of her song âFinally // beautiful stranger.â Wearing a ruffled long-sleeve white top and wide-legged pants, Halsey shone brighter than ever for her lone star presentation.
Both âYou Should Be Sadâ and âFinally // Beautiful Strangerâ appear off the recording artistâs long-awaited third studio album, Manic. As previously reported, the musician will be taking her new record on the road for her "Manic World Tour," with shows in North America starting in June â get the tickets here.
