Halsey Looks Exactly Like Dolly Parton in First ‘The Great Impersonator’ Teaser

Halsey is quite literally the greatest impersonator.

As the star gears up to release their album, The Great Impersonator, later this month, she took to Instagram to reveal that leading up to the drop, she’ll be “impersonating a different icon every day and teasing a snippet of the song they inspired.”

The first icon is Dolly Parton, as Halsey is seen recreating Parton’s 1987 Rainbow album cover. The resemblance is uncanny, as Halsey rocks a big, curly blonde wig as they lounge on the ground in the same outfit and makeup look as Parton.

See the recreation here. Halsey also noted that Parton inspired the track “Hometown” on her upcoming album, a stripped-down acoustic track that you can hear a teaser of here.

Arriving Oct. 25, The Great Impersonator will mark Halsey’s fifth studio album. It follows 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The star has described the project as deeply personal, saying, “I made this record in the space between life and death, and it feels like I’ve waited an eternity for you to have it.” The album also features previously released singles “The End,” “Lucky” and “Lonely Is the Muse.” 

Halsey previously confirmed that the album will traverse different decades and musical styles, with the “Closer” singer revealing multiple variants of The Great Impersonator‘s cover inspired by different time periods through a fan scavenger hunt earlier this month.
