A fan quickly followed up on Halsey’s symbolism offering an explanation around the star’s choice of words.
rainbow baby definition: A rainbow baby is a name coined for a healthy baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death. The name “rainbow baby” comes from the idea of a rainbow appearing in the sky after a storm, or after a dark time.

In a previous with The Guardian, Halsey opened up about the miscarriage she had previously suffered.
“It’s the most inadequate I’ve ever felt,” she explained. “Here I am achieving this out-of-control life, and I can’t do the one thing I’m biologically put on this earth to do. Then I have to go onstage and be this sex symbol of femininity and empowerment? It is demoralizing.”
Here’s some heart-warming messages shared by fans:
