Halsey

HalseyAccording to this helpful infographic, the rainbow-haired siren (whose locks were mermaid-blue when we caught her live), Halsey was the most Tweeted-about artist at SXSW this year. We're not surprised. We watched her performance from upstage alongside Best Coast's Bethany Castellano and despite sound difficulties due to the rain (the showcase was called FLOODfest, after all), Halsey totally rock star-ed it out. Her Lorde-like vocals, lively stage presence, and millennial-friendly lyrics (We are the new Americana/high on legal marijuana/raised on Biggie and Nirvana) are certainly going to launch her big.
