Hailee released an acoustic version of "Starving" on December 7.

She performed the acoustic version while hosting the 2016 Billboard's Women in Music on December 9 as well as at Z100's 2016 Jingle Ball later that night.

Hailee celebrated "Starving" going platinum on Instagram. "Last night left me in tears. I've only ever dreamed of playing Madison Square Garden," she wrote, "Last year I got to celebrate my 19th birthday on that stage and last night I got to celebrate Starving going Platinum, with almost 20,000 of you...I was presented with a plaque from my iHeart and Republic family minutes before I walked on stage. The struggle holding those tears back was REAL."

She added, "I arranged a song-a-long to the version of 'Starving' from last night, and for a second I feared it wouldn't go as planned. But you took my breath away and sang every SINGLE word. You made last night a night I will NEVER ever forget and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
