Well...we certainly weren't expecting that!
Halsey has revealed the real meaning behind her famous stage name to fans and it was not what we were expecting...
The Badlands singer, real name Ashely Frangipane, took to Twitter to answer a fan's question regarding the name 'Halsey' and if there was any significant meaning behind it.
