"recording sessions for these were some of the most special and bizarre ... stories one day :)"

Halsey recently posted a video on Instagram Stories opening up about the health struggles they have been going through these past few months.

Halsey recently posted a video on Instagram Stories opening up about the health struggles they have been going through these past few months.

Halsey discussed issues like learning about allergies to "literally everything" to several health condition diagnoses as well as their views on how the health issues might affect their upcoming "Love and Power" tour.

Addressing fans' concerns, Halsey said, "My health has changed a lot since I got pregnant and gave birth. I started getting really really really sick. I've been kind of sick most of my adult life.

"I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times. After seeing, like, a hundred thousand doctors, I got diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, POTS, and I'm still looking for answers to the root cause of some of these things that could potentially be another type of autoimmune disease."

However, the singer added they are set for their North American tour, saying, "I am on a treatment plan right now, I'm in rehearsals for the tour. I'm really excited and really confident that I'm going to be able to do it in a way that's healthy where I can perform my best for all of you.

"I just can't tour the way that I used to when I was younger where I basically didn't give a s-t about my body and worked insane hours and days in a row," Halsey said.

"A lot of it is going to kind of be delving into this weird body horror about everything I've been experiencing, feeling like my body is rebelling against me," the artist continued about her upcoming tour. "I have a lot of angst, and I have a lot of energy. I have a lot of confusion that I want to get out on that stage. Hopefully I've built a show that really reflects that and can be a cathartic place for you to release some tension if you are feeling or have ever felt similarly."

Multi Grammy-winning teenager Olivia Rodrigo, who is currently on her debut headlining tour, paid tribute to Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt by performing a stunning cover of their "Just a Girl" during her concert in Philadelphia.

Wearing black boots and a white dress with a corset top, Rodrigo powered through the pop classic at The Met.

"'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be," she crooned. "'Cause they won't let me drive late at night/ Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak, 'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes/ Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me, just your typical prototype."

Before the performance, Rodrigo shared how much she admires Stefani.

"Anyone that knows me knows that I am the biggest Gwen Stefani fan in the world," she told the crowd. "I got to talk to her for a while, and she's just the coolest human in the world. I love her music so much and I wanted to play this song for you guys tonight."
