For those who don’t know, endometriosis is a disorder where tissue grows outside of the uterus, which can cause extreme pain (during menstruation, sex, and/or urination) and fatigue.
Over the weekend, Halsey took to Instagram to let fans know that she underwent surgery just days before she’s expected to attend the 2022 Grammys.
“As luck would have it,” Halsey wrote, “I’m attending tomorrow for the first time in years, and I had surgery again (you guessed it) three days ago.”

But this isn’t the first time Halsey made a trip to the hospital before a big award ceremony. In fact, Halsey revealed she had her first endometriosis surgery days before the 2017 Grammys.

“The last time I attended the Grammys was 2017,” Halsey added. “And it was three days after I had my first endometriosis surgery. I walked the carpet with my stitches still in.”

The 27-year-old singer/songwriter, whose fourth studio album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power is nominated for Best Alternative Album, has spoken candidly on multiple occasions about the pain and discomfort she’s faced because of the disorder.
If any of my fans or followers have #endometriosis 💛 having a rough time today. laying in bed thinking of you.
She admitted there were times where she would be “doubled over backstage between sets and fighting back tears on an airplane.” The pain would get so bad she’d sometimes vomit or faint.
