Halsey’s Latest Great Impersonation Transforms Her Into Britney Spears: ‘First Superstar Who Ever Inspired Me’


Halsey channeled her music hero Britney Spears in the latest photo tease of the singer's upcoming fifth studio album, 'The Great Impersonator.'

After channeling Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, late Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan, Evanescence’s Amy Lee, David Bowie, Cher and other iconic stars as part of her countdown to upcoming album The Great Impersonator(Oct. 25), Halsey tapped into one of their biggest childhood influences on Thursday (Oct. 17). To preview the 16th track on the album, the Spears-sampling “ Lucky,” Halsey, 30, morphed into In the Zone-era Britney Spears, posting an image of herself with wind-tousled, blonde-streaked hair standing in a blue void while staring intently at the camera with a steely look. The pitch perfect look/sound experiment continued earlier this week with Halsey sporting a short copper-toned hairstyle for the O’Riordan rager “ Ego,” rolling up their sleeves, picking up a guitar and posing in front of an American flag for the confessional “Letter to God” as The Boss and going acoustic for the lo-fi Linda Rondstadt tribute “ I Believe in Magic.”
