Styles has pulled off one of the trickiest tasks in music – shifting from member of a manufactured boyband to an artist people take seriously. If you want to know how difficult that is, look at the current sales figures and profiles of his former 1d bandmates.
- The Guardian
Harry Styles recently attended a secret "Shared Breakfast" at the Hampstead Ladies' Pond, which was offering free drinks and croissants. The pond's temperature was a cool 17.5c, but we hear Styles jumped in and inspired other event goers to try the same.
Louis in Every Interview
- smokes and swears
- says "it took me a long time to find my sound"
- calls other artists "greedy fuckers"
- name drops Harry or Zayn
- says he's a "glass half full person"
- says he can't cook
- says he wants a 1d reunion
The song I can’t get out of my head
Harry Styles – ‘As It Was’
“Well, we’ve been playing Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ [live] a bit, and the simplicity of that tune is annoyingly brilliant. I really like him, I think his records are great.”
Make no mistake - if you have engaged in sabotaging Harry's first lead role in a Hollywood film, then you hate and despise him and you do not belong in this fandom.

Everyone over 12 in the US is now double vaxxed if they want to be. Elsewhere in the world that isn't the case. Most countries are not vaccinating 12-17 year olds. The US is the only country where a roll out like this could happen.
The UN itself has given validation to Harry and the fund he is supporting, so the project must be 100% ethical and not exploitative of local workers. Can Larries, Ot3 stans and Educators please get off his back now.

So in the UK we're not allowed parties with more than six people and there are at least 20 here, all without masks. Imagine the absolute hysteria of hate if this was Harry.
HS1: Woke up alone in this hotel room 💔
Fine Line: I'm in my bed, and you're not here 💔
Harry's House: I guess that you're all mine, you're lying in this bed with me 💕
#HarrysHouse
"It’s not surprising to me that Harry's the most commercially successful because he really fits the mould of a modern star. He’s not just doing music, he’s got film as well, and the (stadium) tour he’s done is unbelievable."
- Louis for The Telegraph
This is so upsetting!
Our poor Harry, no wonder he hasn't been on radio or tv with this hanging over him. Always so kind and caring, he tried to help a homeless person & got harassed & abused in return. Love you,
@Harry_Styles

You don't deserve this.

#DontWorryDarling
. What an epic, exhilarating film! Brilliant performances from the whole cast. Harry was convincing as wide eyed, wavering, raging Jack, outclassed by Alice and outwitted by Frank. The cinematography was sublime and Harry is phenomenally photogenic.
9/10
Styles infectious dancing and exuberant energy enchanted the crowd as he paraded down the front length of the stage with a pride flag over his shoulder. If there was a roof at Coachella, it would most certainly have been blown off.
Larries: We're still the biggest and most important part of Harry's fandom.
Walls: Sold 200k in the US = maximum 200k Larries
Fine Line: Sold 3m in the US = maximum 200k Larries
Conclusion: Larries don't even make up 10% of Harry's fandom.
'Stuck in a bakery'? Harry was academic, unlike ot3. Like Gemma, he'd have taken his A levels, gone to uni, and be working in an excellent job now.
And if not for Harry, 1d would never have had global success. 80% of fans were there for him.
So this clown thinks there's a chance that 1d will reunite and 'take their solo songs apart, with a different person singing each verse'??? Wtf?? Louis singing Sign of the Times and Falling? Pray this squawkfest never manifests.
So Louis' idea of having fun on tour involves breaking into a crew or band member's room and waking them up by screaming in their face...no wonder Harry insisted on being in a separate hotel from this freak.
Z stans always claim that Zayn could be more successful than Harry with the right promo. He's done much more promo for this album than Harry did for HsH so I'm expecting Z4 to debut with at least 600k.
How innocent and naive do you have to be to think that L being dropped by Sony is a good thing? A major label lets their artist go with no others in sight to pick him up and they think that's positive? If this happened to H I'd be horrified and scared for him, not celebrating.
@softarryy
No surprise. This is the man who said there was 'too much urban music' on the radio and has never worked with artists of colour or even put them on his many playlists.
"Bieber is not an emblem of the gentle, intelligent masculinity that H intuitively embodies. Sheeran can’t connect as directly to his fans, can’t write a song as honest and oblique, even if he wants to. Styles is beloved because he is actively remaking the role of male pop star."
Throw back to 2018 when The Guardian put Harry at
#4
in its ranking of the 30 best boybanders of all time, after Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake! Ot3 failed to make the top 30, aw...
I’m very happy right now. I feel very kind of calm in my life, and yeah, I’m excited for this new chapter...when you feel truly loved, being on your own and time alone feels very relaxing, and I feel very lucky to be in that place in my life right now.
Harry on Howard Stern
"Harry Styles radiates such magnetic energy, you can’t help but be happy when you see him live. If you haven’t had the chance to see Harry live, try to get tickets, you will not regret it. He makes everyone feel at ease and has you dancing all night."
Haters: Harry detests One Direction
Niall: We would have killed each other.
Liam: It would have killed me.
Zayn: That music was never cool where I came from.
Louis: I struggled to find my place in the band.
Harry: My wonderful friends...I wasn't tied to a radiator.
#LightsUp
People lose their lives everyday to either being outted or having their sexuality be invaded by people who can’t respect choice or privacy and falsify. So I mean everything I say and if you feel disrespected. GOOD. And that’s the last I will say on this.
Doesn't this ring alarm bells for Larries?
Harry's Routine: ice bath, no alcohol, straight to bed for 10 hours, swim in a cold lake/sea, visit to museum/gallery.
Louis' Routine: party & drink til dawn. Sleep til soundcheck. Perform hungover.
So are Ed's fans hassling him to speak out about a dozen different political issues? Are Taylor's? Are Bieber's? Are Adele's? Or is just Harry Styles who has to tolerate these judgemental, entitled 'fans' who want to school him?
Sure you would, because Twitter trends and pointless fan projects like Always You matter so much more than gaining the respect of the industry and making money for your label & yourself by having a best selling album which stays in the top ten for 6 months.
'After a decade in which stars have had to up their social media presence to survive...Styles is closing out the 2010s with the greatest album campaign we’ve seen so far. As an artistic statement, it suggests the 2020s will be his to claim.'
The Daily Telegraph, 4/12/2019
None of this is going to deter people from seeing the film though, rather the reverse. Controversy always attracts crowds. At this point, nearly everyone has heard of Don't Worry Darling and it hasn't even been released.
‘OK, there’s this corner of the thing, and they’re going to say this, and it’s going to be really crazy, and they’re going to be really mean.’
- Harry talking about Larries for Rolling Stone
When our depression works the graveyard shift, we’re thankful that Anti-Hero (Acoustic Version) is there to remind us we’re not alone. 🥹🫶

Well. Brand new merch from Louis and NONE of the profit, not a tiny percentage, is going to help fight covid-19. Where are those hateful Louies crying over Harry's charity shirt now? Louis is making people work and deliver merch in a pandemic & all the $$$ goes into his pocket.
From flashing lights, lasers, steam machines, and video projections, to all manner of eye-popping crowd engagement; the show was nothing short of a masterpiece.
Harry is the youngest 1d guy, yet he is far and away the most dignified and respectful, and consistent. He never, ever bitches or gossips - about anyone. He gets articles about himself, his own career, not because he talks about Zayn or OT3.
His voice seems unremarkable and too thin to carry out some of the more challenging vocal arrangements. Whereas Harry Styles has showcased genuine curiosity and a willingness to reinvent himself, LT's sound feels stale & stuck in the early 2000s.
2/5
So which 1d guy threw Liam against a wall? Let's see who has a history of violence.
Louis - pushed over a photographer at LAX and punched a fan in the face.
Zayn - brawling outside bar in NYC last year. Harassment conviction.
Harry and Niall - nothing
Haters: He's being sabotaged by his management...blah blah...homewrecker...public hate him...blah blah... PR -
Harry: Sells 5.3m units of Fine Line. Sold out US arena tour. 7.2b Spotify streams.
Haters: Nah his career is over
'Lost in a sea of influences'
'Thin vocals'
'Affected attempt at a Gallagher snarl'
'Full on mimicry'
'Arctic Monkeys pastiche'
'Terrible lyrics'
'As an artist, Tomlinson is still directionless'
Score: 2/5
#FaithInTheFuture
'Harry Styles is back with his groundbreaking new single.
Both the audio and visuals for “Lights Out" are unique. Styles has created his own indie rock-pop fusion genre that uses his soulful voice to its fullest extent.'
8.5/10
I like the way Harry caters to an adult fandom now. He's not about excitable swearing on Twitter, party games, selfies, or fancy filters. Instead, we get a 2k word intimate profile in Rolling Stone and the promise of excellent music & an arena tour which takes in the whole world.
Multi talented
@Harry_Styles
can now add journalist to his list of careers.
Steve Lacy is his third big assignment. He's also interviewed Paul McCartney for Another Man, and Timothee Chalamet for iD magazine.
How bizarre it must be to be Louis Tomlinson, gazing out at an ocean of pride flags every night and knowing that every single person in the audience believes he's not a dad and that his girlfriend of ten years is a beard.
Senior Editor of the Guardian:
Okay, so we have new songs by Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn here.
Music Editor:
Senior Editor:
Music Editor: Okay, lemme write another review of the Harry Styles single.
It's ironic that Louis has the only strong, long term relationship in 1d - a woman so loyal and private, who's been with him six years in total - and yet El is vilified by nearly all his fans. She's been his rock through two tragedies but gets zero respect from 90% of Louies.
Harry Styles is a once-in-a-generation star. His talent, charm and style have a magnetism that only comes with the greats...combined with his energetic stage presence & charisma...makes him 1 of the most influential and successful musicians of our time.
@Khaleesi_Hodan
Yep. The fusty royals have lost that beautiful, intelligent, vibrant soul, Meghan, and they've lost Harry, who did two tours of Afghanistan and is a hundred times more charismatic than William, Duke of Bald.
Are Larries out of their minds? Columbia is the label for the world's best artists like Beyonce, Adele and Harry Styles, not for the rejects of the industry. He'll be lucky if he's signed by an indie label at this stage.
