Halsey is dishing about her love for The Little Mermaid!
The multi-platinum singer/songwriter called up Radio Disney‘s Candice Valdez on Friday (May 8) to discuss her participation in tonight’s Disney Family Singalong: Volume 2, airing at 7PM on ABC, and what she has been doing to keep busy while sheltering in place at home.
Halsey will be performing the iconic song “Part of Your World” from the film, saying, “I think it’s got to be one of the most beloved Disney songs of all-time and it was one of my favorite movies growing up…My favorite thing about Ariel is that she is so dignified and so tenacious.”
She goes on to talk about her love of Disney, saying, “I know for me at least, growing up and wanting to be a musician, part of that was largely influenced by being a child of Disney. Growing up and watching Disney VHS tapes…Just falling in love with the songs and wanting to sing and wanting to be a Disney princess. Now that I get to play around with it, it’s kind of a dream come true.”
After being in Europe for over two months on tour, Halsey tells Radio Disney, “The day that I got home [from Europe] is when we all started staying inside. It was a little bit of a whirlwind at first because I went from traveling and being in a new country every day, a new city. I was with tens of thousands of people every night to all of a sudden [being] in my house, all alone without all of the chaos and noise…Mostly I’ve just been spending time with my dog and doing a lot of cooking.”
Halsey has a new song out right now with Marshmello titled “Be Kind,” which explores trust issues and reinforces that it’s OK to be vulnerable with someone you love.
