)." The globally recognized talent stars in the film highlighting her amazing 
story of self-belief in rising from New Jersey teenager Ashley Frangipane to 
award winning musician Halsey. Fueled by her ambition, the film shows her 
journey to overcome adversity by finding the inspiration for both her music and 
her stage name.

"Make Your Name – Be a King" follows her metamorphosis from Ashley to Halsey, 
bringing the viewer on an emotional journey as she relentlessly pursues her 
path to stardom. Through never-before-heard poetry, Halsey describes how Ashley 
found inspiration from daily subway rides and ultimately adopting her stage 
name from the Halsey station stop on the New York City subway.  Armed with only 
determination, dreams and a pen, Halsey's attitude and self-belief enabled her 
to step up and find success to be crowned a global King of music.

"I was so honored Budweiser found my story compelling enough to recreate in 
such vivid detail. New York City often felt like a kingdom in itself. My days 
tucked away writing music in the underbelly of New York often felt bleak and 
hopeless, but they were colored with the fantasy of one day exploring the 
magnitude of it all and dominating it in my own way. I wrote songs on the 
subway that I later performed on a sold-out stage at Madison Square Garden and 
it was in this moment I truly felt like a King, in this once ungraspable city," 
said Halsey. "I wrote the poem accompanying the film to tell my younger self to 
save up all of her rage and excitement and confusion because one day, on that 
stage at MSG, I would feel it all explode and burst forth from me. I would 
finally be a king in the city where I made my name."

As part of the global campaign, Budweiser and Halsey are collaborating on 
limited-edition merchandise. Designed by Halsey and her team, the apparel 
collection encourages fans to celebrate the King mentality. Fans can pre-order 
the collection at halseymusicstore.com (

) with all profits going to the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

"Budweiser is focused on celebrating stories of ambition which inspire our 
consumers to step up and Be a King. This attitude to life has been ingrained in 
Budweiser since Adolphus Busch came to the US with the dream of creating the 
King of Beers," said Steve Arkley, Budweiser Global VP. "Halsey embodies this 
same self-belief with an incredible true story of overcoming challenges to make 
her own name."

Halsey also released an original spoken word poetry entitled "Becoming a King" 
which shares her powerful perspective on 'finding her motivation in the lights 
and name in the signs'.  

The partnership first kicked off Halsey's Super Bowl concert in Miami at the 
BUDX Hotel and follows Budweiser's recent partnerships with Sergio Ramos and 
Lionel Messi.
