During her electrifying performance at the Daytime Village Presented by Capital One at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Saturday afternoon (September 23), Halsey may have thrown some shade at her duet partner, Andrew Taggart, on her 2016 Chainsmokers collaboration "Closer."   

As the beat to "Closer" kicked in, Halsey told the packed crowd, "I'm gonna skip to my part though, ok? Because my part is the better part anyway." Was playful jab aimed at Andrew Taggart shady or was she just teasing him? Watch below and decide for yourself. 

Relive the biggest, most unforgettable moments and performances from this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival by tuning in to a special two-night television special on Wednesday, October 4th and Thursday, October 5th from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. ET/PT.
