Halsey called out Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, during an eventful first night of her Back to Badlands Tour.

The moment came at the end of a packed setlist at Los Angeles’ Fairbanks Lawn that included many of Halsey’s earliest standouts from her 2015 Badlands debut album, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. After running through “Hold Me Down,” “Ghost,” “Young God” and more, the singer took a brief pause before diving into “Tokyo Narita” — her 2016 freestyle with Lido that references the rapper by name: “So we laid down on the floor next to our brand-new bed/ Just so we could listen closer to this new Kanye West.”
