Halsey Unfazed As Many Fans Leave Arizona Concert Over Singer’s Abortion Rights Speech

Singer Halsey's Sunday night concert saw multiple fans walk out after she criticized the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in a powerful speech. However, Halsey remained unperturbed by the fans' departure.

The 27-year-old sent out a tweet Monday in response to Twitter user @MariaRawrz, who described the walk-out as "sickening." The "Without Me" singer wrote: "downside of doing outdoor venues: no door to hit them on the way out."

The Grammy-winning songstress had halted mid-show to address the 20,000 concertgoers. "It has been happening for a very long f**king time. I know that we want to sit at home and we want to wait for some revolutionary to come along, to make a difference, but no one is f**king coming," she said.

Halsey urged, "Nobody is f**king coming. It is up to every single one of you, myself, every single person in this building to do our f**king part to protect bodily autonomy and bodily integrity. To protect medical privacy," according to NME.

Halsey's speech was met with loud cheers from the audience after which she continued with a chant "my body," encouraging the crowd to respond with "my choice."

"Some of the people I'm looking at right now are going to need an abortion one day, and you deserve that," she continued, before asking her Arizona fans to promise "that you're gonna do that work so that the person to the left of you and to the right of you has that right for the rest of their lives."

At some point, Halsey noticed certain attendees were heading toward the exit, to which she added, "If you don't like it, you can go home right now. I don't care. If you don't like it, I don't know why you came to a Halsey concert," according to Los Angeles Times.

After the SCOTUS officially reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday night, a "defeated" Halsey took to Twitter to express: "I'm running out of ways to word and frame the severity of the impact that fundamentalism has on our country."
