Halsey delivered a hometown special June 6 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel.
The Jersey native played 'Hometown' for only the second time on her For My Last Trick Tour at the venue and fans loved it.
'(Halsey) singing 'Hometown' in Holmdel,' commented a fan on X. 'I'm too emotional for this.'
'(Halsey) I'm so glad you came back to your hometown,' commented another on X.
The country coaxed midtempo ballad is from Halsey's latest album, 'The Great Impersonator.'
Halsey was born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane in Edison. The 30-year old grew up in the Washington borough of Warren County. Her hits include 'Bad at Love,' 'Eastside,' 'Without Me' and 'Closer.'
'Tonight we've got a special one in Jersey, I can't believe that I am home,' sang Halsey in a change of lyrics for 'Only Living Girl in LA,' according to a social media video. 'I got to go away and do a little magic, then come back and play a very, very special show.'
Halsey had canceled her June 4 performance at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor, Maine, hours before the show citing vocal issues.
Upcoming for Halsey is Saturday, June 7, at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden.
Ticket prices begin at $42 via Ticketmaster.
The scheduled 32-city For My Last Trick Tour kicked off May 10 at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord, California, and wraps up Sunday, July 6, at the Yaamava Theater in Highland, California.
Halsey announced the tour with a fatally fun video where she's apparently prepping for her funeral. Her last tour was five years ago as she's has battled multiple illnesses in recent years.
She's spoken publicly about battles with endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Sjogren's syndrome and mast cell activation syndrome.
In a social media post, Halsey suggested that she's being treated for lupus and leukemia when she linked to the Lupus Research Alliance, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
