Hailed by Billboard Magazine, Forbes and MTV as “the voice of her generation,” Halsey’s rise to pop stardom has been something of a fairytale. It was just a couple of years ago that Halsey was still Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, a New Jersey teen who’d escaped her chaotic family life and suburban existence for New York, writing poetry, and scrounging money for concerts and her next slice of pizza.

Halsey went from putting songs on SoundCloud to having her first full length album, BADLANDS, certified platinum by the RIAA within one year of its release, with five Gold singles and more than 2 billion streams. She went from couch surfing to witnessing her first tour sell out in minutes to touring globally with sold out dates on five continents (including a sold-out Madison Square Garden performance) and performing for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Norway.

And that was just 2015. To give you a further taste of her meteoric rise, here’s a quick rundown of a few of the high points from Halsey’s year of 2016. Try not to get whiplash.
