Halsey and Lauren Jauregui Perform 'Strangers' Together for the First Time in 7 Years

In case you needed an update, Halsey and Lauren Jauregui are far from strangers. The singers, who both openly identify as bisexual, reunited to perform their 2017 hit, 'Strangers,' for the first time in 7 years during Halsey's For My Last Trick Tour stop at Chicago's Huntington Bank Pavilion on June 17. As proven by clips of their performance, there is truly no better way to celebrate Pride month—and, of course, fans went wild on social media once they surfaced. 'ARE U JOKING,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'Can't believe i'd live to see the day that they would sing this live together again.' This marks their first joint performance of the song since June 2018, when the Fifth Harmony alum kickstarted her solo career opening for Halsey on her Hopeless Fountain Kingdom World Tour. The song, which details the push-and-pull of a shifty relationship dynamic between two women, became an instant classic in the LGBTQ+ community when it was released. At the time, Halsey shared why she tapped Lauren for the track during an interview on The Zach Sang Show, saying, 'Lauren is a friend of mine and she is openly bisexual, and so am I. Our fans, really this past year, have just really expressed so much support and so much love and indication that they relate to us and that they are happy to us be outspoken about it.' 'I just love that Lauren and I are two women who have a mainstream pop presence doing a love song for the LGBT community,' Halsey said at the time. 'It's rare to see it from a girl's perspective.' The About-Face founder, who's non-binary and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, also revealed that 'Strangers' was the first song in which she openly used female pronouns. 'It is the first song that I ever wrote where I openly used female pronouns and I have songs that are about women that I have been with but I was 19 and I tried to keep [my debut album] Badlands gender neutral,' she said. She continued, 'I was thinking to myself, 'If I want this song to be believable, it needs to be real.' So I'm not going to put a girl on this song to sing who's straight. I'm just not going to do it. So I reached out to Lauren, she came in and cut the vocal and it sounds awesome.' We can fully confirm it still holds up all these years later.

Iconic '60s Rocker Talks Wild Times With Elton John, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and More

Iconic '60s Rocker Talks Wild Times With Elton John, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and More originally appeared on Parade. An iconic '60s heartthrob singer/songwriter gave a new interview divulging all of the fun shenanigans he had back in the day, in honor of turning 80 in 2025. , the last surviving member of the 1960s music group and TV series , regaled People with stories of seeing American debut, nabbing Jimi Hendrix as an opening act for The Monkees (which was a disaster), and hanging out with the Beatles. On being at the legendary Hollywood club The Troubadour with the likes of Alice Cooper, Harry Nilsson, and : "It was the 'go-to' place. That was where we went all the time. Doug Weston was the impresario, and he helped introduce Elton John, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Diamond, . Just an incredible list."Dolenz went on to say he watched Elton John debut there in 1970 — and they accidentally wore the same outfit. "We went down to the Troubadour. My wife at the time had just got back from England…she'd always bring me these great clothes from Carnaby Street and all that stuff. [This time] she brought me this great T-shirt. It was a reproduction of the Andy Warhol [silkscreen] of Marilyn Monroe — the multiple images that he did. I wore that to the show, and my friend said, 'Come over to the afterparty at my house and meet Elton.' So I go over there and Elton John's in the kitchen leaning up against the refrigerator, drinking a beer … wearing the same T-shirt. And, I swear to God, he takes one look at me and he goes, 'Oh f**k!' And he never forgave me," said Dolenz. In 1967, he hung out with at his house in London, "Just me, him and Martha the sheepdog," the Monkees drummer next day, McCartney invited Dolenz to the Abbey Road studios and he was so excited that he got all dressed up in his psychedelic '60s finest — "I looked like a cross between Ronald McDonald and Charlie Manson" — and when he got there, everyone was just sitting around casually and John Lennon said to Dolenz, "Hey Monkee Man, you want to hear what we're working on?" "From then on, he called me Monkee Man," said Dolenz. The singer also made a brief mention to People that he invited a young Jimi Hendrix to open for the Monkees, and both Dolenz and the Monkees' music director were "pleasantly surprised by the reaction" they got. However, the Hendrix/Monkees pairing was notoriously terrible. According to The History Channel, the four Monkees members — Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork — were all huge fans of Hendrix, but unfortunately, the Monkees' fans were not. Hendrix joined the tour in 1967 and only lasted for seven performances before he bailed because he was constantly getting booed by Monkees fans. As Dolenz wrote in his book I'm a Believer, "Jimi would amble out onto the stage, fire up the amps and break into 'Purple Haze,' and the kids in the audience would instantly drown him out with, 'We want Daaavy [Jones]. God, was it embarrassing." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 But in the book, Dolenz acknowledged what a massive fan of Hendrix the Monkees all were, especially him, writing, "[Hendrix was] not just your ordinary opening act. It was evident from the start that we were witness to a rare and phenomenal talent. Jimi was virtually the only act I ever made a point of getting to the hall early to see. I would stand in the wings and watch and listen in awe. I felt incredibly lucky just to have been there." So it's funny that the People interview has such a casual, brief mention of Hendrix because that tour was quite the debacle. But anyway, in the People interview, Dolenz also admitted he has a hilariously terrible memory sometimes, like the one time someone asked him if he'd ever met frontman and Dolenz said he saw Morrison play, but he never met him, then his wife jumped in and said, "Micky, he slept on the living floor for three days at our house!"
