A singing sensation was completely unrecognizable in a sweet childhood throwback she posted on social media this week.

She fired up her Instagram page to upload an picture of herself holding a Discman, indicating the snap was likely taken in the early 2000s.

Her bout of nostalgia, shared with her fans, came just two and a half months before she will celebrate her 30th birthday.

The heartwarming photo was a promotion for the pop act's upcoming single Lucky, which will be released next Friday, July 26.

So who is the mystery star?

Halsey, who was born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, is the songbird who posted the sweet childhood photo to Instagram this Wednesday.

Lucky is the second single from Halsey's forthcoming fifth studio album, coming nearly two months after she released its lead single The End.

The End was a mournful acoustic ballad about someone throwing herself into a romance while battling a life-threatening illness.

Halsey, who has declared a preference for both 'she' and 'they' pronouns, has yet to reveal the title or release date of her next album.

Her fourth studio album, entitled If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, debuted in 2021 and was praised by the critics while also achieving commercial success.

Halsey, who welcomed her son Ender the month before the album came out, said the music was about 'the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth.'

Meanwhile, she released The End after suffering years of health problems including bipolar disorder, endometriosis and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which causes the patient's heart rate to quicken when sitting or standing up.

One day after The End came out, Halsey announced: 'In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.'

A 'T-Cell lymphoproliferative disorder' can mean any number of conditions in which the body is producing an excessive amount of T-cells.

Various forms of leukemia and lymphoma are categorized as 'T-Cell lymphoproliferative disorders,' but Halsey did not name her specific ailment.

However, in an Instagram post about her treatments, she did tag The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well as the Lupus Research Alliance.

Depending on the particular condition, symptoms of T-Cell lymphoproliferative disorders can include an enlarged liver, weakness, anemia and atypical bruising.

She added: 'Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.'

Halsey recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with 'Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder'

When The End was released, Halsey cryptically wrote on Instagram: 'long story short, i’m Lucky to be alive' - hinting at the title of the next single of her album.

On the romantic front, Halsey is dating with the Canadian actor Avan Jogia, who shot to fame in Agnieszka Holland's A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story.

Rumors of their relationship went into overdrive when they were spotted kissing in public in September 2023, and the following month they went Instagram official. 

Halsey was seen wearing a ring on her engagement finger while enjoying a picnic with Avan in New York this week, fueling conjecture that wedding bells are incoming.

She shares her three-year-old son Ender with her ex-boyfriend Alev Aydin, whom she was with for more than three years before they cordially split early in 2023.

The singer-songwriter also famously dated her sizzling fellow musician G-Eazy, who is widely regarded as the inspiration for her scathing breakup single Without Me.
