Over the weekend, singer Halsey shared a selfie on Instagram that showed a medical port on their chest, along with a carousel of other pictures from their For My Last Trick tour.

Produced by Live Nation, the 32-city tour kicked off on May 10 in California and will include stops across the U.S. and Canada.

The "Colors" singer wrote in the caption:

“Evidence that I still exist when the show ends. 90s mom haircut loading 🌈”


The pop star (who uses she/they pronouns) was diagnosed in 2022 with lupus and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, and shared that news with fans last summer.

In the 2024 post, Halsey explained:

"In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life."
"After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to."
"I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all 🤍 Singing and screaming my heart out."

According to Healthline, Lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled production of white blood cells called lymphocytes. T-cell disorders include leukemia and lymphoma.

This is not Halsey's first health issue. Halsey has been very forthcoming about being diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder, endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and POTS.

Fans offered support, and appreciated that Halsey didn't hide the port.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
