=== 2012–20162012–2014: Career beginnings and ''BadlandsRoom 93'' ===
{{Main|Room 93|Badlands (Halsey album)}}
 
Frangipane started writing music when she was 17, and in 2012, she began posting videos to social media sites such as [[YouTube]] and [[Kik Messenger|Kik]], and in particular [[Tumblr]], under the username ''se7enteenblack''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2618129/thank-you-halsey-fangirl/|title=Thank You, Halsey, For Being A Fangirl Just Like Me|last=Lakshmin|first=Deepa|website=MTV News|language=en|access-date=December 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224024123/http://www.mtv.com/news/2618129/thank-you-halsey-fangirl/|archive-date=December 24, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> She became known for a parody of [[Taylor Swift]]'s song "[[I Knew You Were Trouble]]", inspired by Swift's relationship with [[Harry Styles]]. She then wrote a follow-up song about their relationship, which was posted online in early 2013.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://popcrush.com/halsey-haylor-song-sos-listen/ | title=Halsey used to write songs about Taylor Swift + Harry Styles | work=Popcrush | date=September 23, 2015 | access-date=October 27, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808033508/http://popcrush.com/halsey-haylor-song-sos-listen/ | archive-date=August 8, 2017 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.girlfriend.com.au/how-halsey-became-famous|title=The way Halsey became famous is totally weird and crazy and we had NO idea|website=girlfriend.com.au|date=February 28, 2018 |language=en-us|access-date=December 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181223163947/https://www.girlfriend.com.au/how-halsey-became-famous|archive-date=December 23, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> In early 2014, Frangipane went to a party and met a "music guy" who asked her to collaborate on a song with him because he liked her voice. The result, a song about her ex-boyfriend, titled "[[Ghost (Halsey song)|Ghost]]", was posted by Frangipane on [[SoundCloud]] several weeks after it was recorded. Within hours, the song gained online popularity and she was subsequently contacted by several record labels, with the song eventually charting and going on radio. She signed with [[Astralwerks]], feeling that they gave her more creative freedom than other labels that contacted her.<ref name="Morris2016" />

Halsey's debut [[studio album]], [[Badlands (Halsey album)|''Badlands'']], was released on August 28, 2015. She described ''Badlands'' as a [[concept album]] about a [[dystopia|dystopian future society]] known as "The Badlands", which was a metaphor for her mental state at the time, stating that each song
