Harry Styles Reunites Exes at His New York Concert

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

The 27-year-old singer, songwriter and actor Harry Styles is known for his unique style of rock and pop songs that expresses himself in an exhilarating way. Despite his undeniable success in the music industry, his stage presence and performances are also adding to his charm. Harry’s well known for his sincere and heartwarming interactions with fans all over the world, which he kept showing in Love On Tour—his second concert tour that he’s currently on.

He takes the time to pause his set, read fans’ signs, talk to them individually and either answer their questions, laugh at their jokes or just give general life advice to them. For instance, one of those heartwarming moments occurred in his Sep. 29 show in Nashville, Tennessee, when a pregnant fan asked Harry to reveal the gender of her baby. He revealed that her baby was a little girl in front of thousands of people and it was very touching. 

Recently, Harry showed fans that he’s particularly talented in giving relationship advice at his Oct. 31 Harryween concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. He paused his concert when he noticed a woman, standing next to her ex, holding a sign that said, “I came with my ex for you.” 

He read the sign out loud to the crowd and proceeded to show his interest by asking follow-up questions about it. Making a reference to Gwyneth Paltrow’s description of her split from Chris Martin in 2014, he asked them how long they have been “consciously uncoupled.” He learned that the couple dated for about seven months and broke up two weeks before the concert—yet still decided to settle their differences aside to attend the concert together. 

He called them very “mature” for being able to reunite despite being broken up, and that their relationship was definitely healthier than others since they were alright with being in each other’s company for a night out (unlike couples who end on bad terms and never want to see each other again.) He gave them golden advice when he told them to think about how they felt for each other when they were still together, saying, “Reminisce on a night seven months and two weeks ago when you two looked at each other, deep in the eyes, and you thought, ‘Yeah, you’ll do.” He added that he wasn’t telling them to get back together, but rather making them focus on their past good memories to make them feel at ease in the concert right next to each other. 

He thanked them both for being there and wished them both “all the best in [their] future endeavors, both separately and together.” His advice touched the couple deeply— and as he turned around to check on the man, he noticed that they were kissing, leaving nearly 20,000 people, including himself, speechless. Harry said, “Are you good? You’re good. He’s good. I mean, he’s good now!” 

Despite basically reuniting the ex-couple, Harry’s advice on focusing on their good memories together also inspired a lot of people, leading them to view their relationship with their exes differently. Instead of focusing on the negative and constantly thinking about why the relationship ended, it’s much better to accept that the relationship has ended maturely while appreciating the past memories together. Harry’s useful advice made people realize how they should focus on learning a lesson from that relationship in order to move on to the next chapter.

Thank you, Harry, for being an amazing relationship coach!
