Halsey Reacts to Pitchfork's Negative Review of Their New Album After Previous Controversy With Outlet
Halsey had a gracious response to Pitchfork’s less-than-positive review of their new album The Great Impersonator.
The 30-year-old “Without Me” hitmaker dropped the project on October 25. It received a score of 4.8 out of 10 from the outlet, which has some history with Halsey.
If you were unaware, Halsey reacted negatively after their album Manic received a bad review in 2020. In a tweet, she wrote, “can the basement that they run p*tchfork out of just collapse already.”
At the time, she was unaware that the Pitchfork office was located in the One World Trade Center building. They apologized for the misunderstanding and deleted the post.
Four years later, Halsey had a different response to the new review.

The outlet wrote, “With a muddled concept at its core, Halsey’s fifth album languishes in dull pop-rock corridors behind emotionally potent but unremarkable songwriting.”
However, taking to X (formerly Twitter), Halsey focused on the positives from the review.
She shared segments of the review, including, “Halsey is one of the most successful artists of their generation.”
“thank you @pitchfork for your kind words,” they wrote. “I think it’s so beautiful that everyone interprets things differently.”
If you missed it, Halsey recently opened up about her real life as Ashley Frangipane.
