The singer was pressured to cancel her Wednesday evening present in Maryland after a storm flooded the mockingly titled Merriweather Submit Pavilion, calling the scenario “actually fucking insane” in an Instagram Dwell.
“Principally what occurred was there was some surprising and unpredictable climate that the climate consultants” she works with on the street “didn’t even see coming, some storm cells that appeared actually, actually rapidly, and instantly turned harmful.”
She apologized to followers who have been stranded within the amphitheater for hours earlier than the cancellation was introduced, explaining that native authorities had suggested her crew to place the venue underneath a shelter-in-place order to keep away from a stampede.
Footage of the flooded venue was circulated by Twitter customers on the live performance on Wednesday, displaying the “unreal” scene: ankle-deep water, rain pounding the seats, and, in a single video, a roadie kicking what appeared to be a drenched squirrel off the stage.
“Maryland I don’t even know what to say…” Halsey wrote on Twitter, promising a rescheduled present in a separate tweet. “However proper now I’m heartbroken and panicked and I simply need to know when/that you simply all get dwelling safely. I really like you guys greater than something.”

She continued, “I actually need to add that I’m past upset with the way in which the venue dealt with every part tonight and my rescheduled date will likely be taking place some place else. I hear you guys loud and clear I promise.”
