3 March 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nTumblr has apologised to Halsey for omitting them from the site’s 19th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Halsey called out Tumblr for the snub<\/p>\n
\nThe social media platform marked the milestone on Friday (27.02.26) with a highlight reel featuring the likes of One Direction, Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd, but Halsey – who has been a staple for over a decade after connecting with fans there – wasn’t included.<\/p>\n
\nThe pop star – who uses she\/they pronouns – teasingly replied on X: “I keep your lights on for years and this is the thanks I get.”<\/p>\n
\nFans joked that Tumblr is trying to “erase” them, with others said “the disrespect is insane”.<\/p>\n
\nIn a lighthearted response, Tumblr said in a statement: “Halsey, we are deeply sorry you were not included in our 19th birthday edit.<\/p>\n
\n“you are and have forever been a pillar of our platform and yes for lack of better words \u2018keeping our lights on for years.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“we would never, as you once put it, intentionally swerve you.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAt just 19, we\u2019re still learning and growing. we promise this will never happen again. we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. with love, tumblr. (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nIn the past, Halsey has used Tumblr to share musings and poetry, with some of those going onto inspire songs like Lonely Is The Muse, from their album The Great Impersonator.<\/p>\n
\nSharing the complete origin poem, which later became a blog post and then song, they explained: “This is how I originally wrote it \u2026 I posted a fragment of this on Tumblr a while back, but here\u2019s the initial piece in its entirety.”<\/p>\n
\nAfter their original Se7enteenblack account was deactivated back in August 2015 – a few weeks before debut album Badlands dropped – Halsey launched a new account a few years ago, and admitted it would be “tough” to decide how to use it.<\/p>\n
\nThey wrote: “Gonna be a tough thing deciding which writing to post here and which to save for the records.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLately I\u2019ve been writing constantly from morning to night. Not for any reason. Just a compulsion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nOn their Tiredandlonelymuse blog, Halsey later opened up on why they have returned to the platform.<\/p>\n
\nWriting in June 2024, they pondered: \u201cI came back to Tumblr when it all went down, because I think something special happens here.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis is the quiet space in between screaming observation and lethargic loneliness. It\u2019s shared solitude.<\/p>\n
\n“The platform gave me everything once upon a time, so many years ago. It felt right to return in my weakest moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
