Tumblr has apologised to Halsey for omitting them from the site's 19th anniversary celebrations.
The social media platform marked the milestone on Friday (27.02.26) with a highlight reel featuring the likes of One Direction, Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd, but Halsey - who has been a staple for over a decade after connecting with fans there - wasn't included.
The pop star - who uses she/they pronouns - teasingly replied on X: "I keep your lights on for years and this is the thanks I get."
Fans joked that Tumblr is trying to "erase" them, with others said "the disrespect is insane".
In a lighthearted response, Tumblr said in a statement: "Halsey, we are deeply sorry you were not included in our 19th birthday edit.
"you are and have forever been a pillar of our platform and yes for lack of better words ‘keeping our lights on for years.’
"we would never, as you once put it, intentionally swerve you.
“At just 19, we’re still learning and growing. we promise this will never happen again. we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. with love, tumblr. (sic)"
In the past, Halsey has used Tumblr to share musings and poetry, with some of those going onto inspire songs like Lonely Is The Muse, from their album The Great Impersonator.
