Halsey shocked fans as she completely wiped her Instagram account on Friday.
The Bad at Love hitmaker, 29 — who appeared nude in her latest music video — deleted their thousands of photos and shared a post modeling a new punk look while preforming in Hungary.
The singer, who goes by she/they pronouns, also took to their Instagram Story to tease fans with a cryptic message and blurry image of themself, writing, ‘london, i have a surprise for you next week. don’t miss out,’ with a link leading to a phone number that reaches the popstar.
In her snaps, the New Jersey native rocked a short maroon pixie cut and bandana with an edgy brown cross crop top.
‘✮ going backwards ✮,’ they captioned the post.

The partner of actor Avan Jogia tied the look together with cropped camouflage pants and a grommet belt.
They accessorized with sunglasses and layered chain necklaces while rocking out on her electric guitar.
Halsey — born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane — wore the jaw dropping look while sound-checking prior to their set at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary.
Just hours after, they added a second post flashing the flesh in a skimpy cheetah print bikini top and teased their boxers with sagging shorts.
Their bright red locks, thin eyebrows and bold lipliner displayed their new take on 90s grunge style.
They added a metal choker and an eyebrow piercing, making fans go wild and speculate over what this new look and Instagram wipe could mean.

‘NEW ERA IS COMING GUYS I’M GONNA DIE,’ one follower penned. Another chimed in saying, ‘if I could be anybody dead or alive I would wanna be halsey in her rockstar era.’
Fans speculate that the Colors singer’s drastic shift may foreshadow a new album.
She release their fourth record If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power back in 2021, yielding the songs I Am Not a Woman, I’m a God and Girl is a Gun.
‘what vibes do you want this album to have? yes,’ one wrote. ‘Soooo ready for the album!’ another said.
Rumblings of Halsey’s highly anticipated fifth studio album have echoed since they dropped their latest single just weeks ago, Lucky, causing some drama with Britney Spears.

In the music video inspired by Spears’ tune of the same name, Halsey posed nearly nude. Promoting the video on X, they shared the YouTube link for the video without adding a caption – leading to a furious response from the Slave 4 U singer’s account.
Spears’ account commented on the post, writing: ‘For obvious reasons I’m very upset about the Halsey video. I feel harassed, violated, and bullied,’ despite the 29-year-old previously said she got Britney’s ‘blessing’ for the reference.
‘I didn’t know an artist like her and someone I looked up to and admired would illustrate me in such an ignorant way by tailoring me as a superficial pop star with no heart or concern at all.
‘I’m speaking with my lawyers today to see what can be done on this matter. ‘It feels illegal and downright cruel,’ the message read.

‘Fake news !!! That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it !!!’ Britney said online
Hours later, a new message appeared from the Toxic singer’s account explaining that the previous comments were ‘not me.’
‘Fake news !!! That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it !!!’ Britney said online.
Halsey reposted the note, adding, ‘I love Britney!!!! I always have and always will. You were the first person who ever made me realize what it means to feel inspired. And you continue to inspire me every day.’
