Halsey just embraced her inner Freak Friday energy at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
The 29-year-old pop star, who goes by the pronouns she/they, dominated the stage at New York’s UBS Arena to debut her latest single, Ego.
She rocked a white collared shirt paired with a black tie, oversized denim shots and black boots and entered on a bike at the start of the performance to join her band in a garage set to sing the popular pop-punk song.
“I think that I should try to kill my ego/’Cause if I don’t, my ego might kill me. I’m all grown up but somehow lately/I’m acting like a f****** baby/I’m really not as happy as I seem,” she sang to the audience while playing the guitar.
The performance of Halsey’s song, Ego, that was released alongside an official music video on September 6, can be considered a definite homage to Lindsay Lohan and her all-girl garage band who perform rock music in the 2003 comedy, Freaky Friday.
