The For My Last Trick Tour may be winding down, but Halsey isn’t slowing her momentum. During her June 24 stop in Salt Lake City, fans were treated to the live debut of an unreleased track: “Carry the Weight.” What unfolded was a searing pop-rock confession wrapped in gritty guitar riffs and raw emotional release.

A tour full of surprises, each night a new emotional turn
This tour has become a musical shapeshifter, with changing setlists, unexpected collaborations, and intimate reveals. From surprise appearances by artists like Amy Lee and Lauren Jauregui, to new songs unveiled mid-set, each show has felt like a secret only that night’s crowd got to keep. “Carry the Weight” brought something deeper: vulnerability with volume.

“I don’t wanna carry the weight” – Lyrics that leave a mark
The song feels familiar in tone—Halsey’s signature balance of self-reckoning and boundary-setting. With lines like:

“Just give me a break, how much more can I take?... I don’t wanna carry the weight,”

she confronts the exhaustion of emotional burden. There’s a sonic echo of “Ashley” from her Manic era, bridging a personal narrative across albums.

An evolving era of honesty and reckoning
Following February’s provocative single “Safeword” (complete with a visually daring NSFW video), “Carry the Weight” becomes the second unreleased track tied to her latest album, The Great Impersonator. Both songs amplify the record’s core themes: loss of identity, skewed perception, and the fight for truth within power dynamics.

“It’s always your world we live in / All your delusion and fantasy setting the scene…” — the lyrics don’t hold back, stripping control from one-sided narratives.

Almost over—but not quite done
Next stop: Ridgefield, Washington, June 26. With just three shows left, Halsey isn’t letting go quietly. If anything, she’s leaving a final impression that feels intimate, brave—and loud.
