That’s even been the case on social media. Earlier this month, Halsey’s “Without Me” replaced Ariana’s “thank u, next” at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Ariana congratulated her on Instagram.

Halsey wrote back, \"Luv u bb. Dynamic women who are headstrong + compassionate all 2019.\"

Unlike female artists, she doesn't think male artists aren’t typically pitted against each other, even if they have similar appeal.

“We live in a world where women are required to be so f------ original, it’s crazy,” she said.

“There are so many male artists who are regurgitations of each other,” she added.

As for what new music she's been working on these days, Halsey replied, “I've written a lot of inward music so far -- it‘s been a reflection of me, my mental health, my experience ... I think moving forward into this [next] record, it will be more outwardly existential, as opposed to introspective.”
