Overview
- Halsey was performing “Is There Somewhere” from a barricade when a concertgoer reached under her skirt and appeared to grope her before a security guard swatted the hand away.
- Video clips shared on X show Halsey continuing the song without acknowledging the contact, and fans online condemned the behavior as a clear violation of boundaries.
- Reports disagree on where the incident occurred, with some outlets citing Washington, D.C. and others Minneapolis, and no statement from Halsey’s team, the venues, or police has resolved the discrepancy.
- The footage has been widely circulated on social platforms, with one outlet reporting more than 17 million views, and commenters urging lifetime bans and tighter venue security.
- The episode follows Halsey’s recent ER visit for a “minor medical emergency” after a Boston show and joins a broader pattern of unsafe fan conduct at concerts noted in recent coverage.
