Saturday, Feb. 9 was a big night for Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, aka Halsey, as she hosted and served as the musical guest for the night’s episode of Saturday Night Live. Halsey took to the stage in sketches and two musical performances throughout the night, but it’s Halsey’s «Without Me» SNL performance that eagle-eyed fans are taking a second look at for possible clues about her relationship with G-Eazy. Why might that be? Well, it just so happens that a very pointed message appeared as she belted out her latest hit.
After a short but sweet monologue in which Halsey gushed about her love for SNL as a child and pondered what her old neighbors back home in New Jersey might be saying about her SNL debut, she put on her musical guest hat. Introduced by Aidy Bryant, Halsey emerged on the stage in a black lace dress to sing «Without Me.» Accompanied only by the a piano player on the dark stage, all eyes were on the singer.
About halfway through the song, Halsey’s demeanor changed from passionately singing the tune to powerfully belting out the song that asks, «Does it ever get lonely?/ Thinking you could live without me/ Thinking you could live without me.» The flip happened as the stage was illuminated to reveal messages written on the wall.
