Over the years, Halsey has joined the ranks of celebrities speaking out against prescribed beauty ideals and norms—and that includes grooming choices, like removing body hair. If she doesn’t want to, she doesn’t, and she’s proud about it. After a troll reposted the pic with an “LOL” sticker over her unshaven underarm, she cooly responded to them on Twitter, “It’s an armpit you’ve put a sticker over. Not sure what else there is here to explain?” Now, she’s taken her advocacy for skipping shave day one step further by showing off unshaven armpits on the latest cover of Rolling Stone. In the shot, the “Without Me” singer poses in a white tank with her arms behind her head and her armpits on full display. Halsey of course posted the cover shot on her ‘gram—and people are living for it.

“There is so much yes about this picture idk where to start,” Demi Lovato commented. “Rockstar status,” fellow singer (and Halsey collaborator) Benny Blanco wrote.

Maggie Rogers was excited too: “Here for this armpit hair,” she wrote. Check out the Rolling Stone cover for yourself, below:

Singer Zara Larsson also took to Twitter to praise Halsey’s decision not to shave for the shoot: “I loooove the fact that they didn’t edit the armpits like most magazines would do. Women are not little babies who don’t have body hair. Stunning cover.”

Meanwhile, fans also applauded Halsey for embracing her body hair.

In another high-profile unshaven armpit moment, Amandla Sternberg walked the red carpet at the BFI Film Festival last October, wearing a stunning Valentino gown that showed off their underarm hair. With their trademark sense of humor, they posted a pic to their ‘gram of the look, writing “#drama #armpit” in the caption. Happily, per Halsey’s pic, it seems people are becoming more receptive to a little bit of perfectly natural body hair.
