On a magical Friday night in New York, harry styles took the stage for the first time to perform his third album, Harry’s House, in its entirety. The crowd, wrapped in feathers, glitter and tears, filled Long Island’s UBS Arena, creating a palpable energy that seemed almost ritualistic. But this time, something changed in the encore. Instead of closing with his usual anthem, “Kiwi,” Styles opted to end with a second performance of his single “As It Was,” a moving reflection on isolation and change. The crowd erupted, leaving Styles a little bewildered.

“We walked off stage and I just wanted to sit alone for a minute,” he recalls two months later. “After One Direction, I never expected to experience something new. I thought, ‘Okay, I’ve seen how crazy it can be.’ But the energy seemed crazy.”

At 28, Styles he had unlocked a new level of stardom. He was no longer just a member of One Direction, filling stadiums; He led them as a soloist. “As It Was” had become a global sensation, topping the charts in more than two dozen countries and breaking streaming records. Styles noticed a change in the way he was perceived, especially among men, as they began to become more involved with his music. “It seems like a strange comment because it’s not like men were the target. It’s something I noticed.”

Backstage at Coachella, surrounded by friends like Shania Twain and his girlfriend Olivia Wilde, Styles felt the overwhelming love from his fans. “As It Was” was played everywhere (taxis, bars, breakfast places), making its presence in 2022 impossible to ignore. But in a hotel suite in Hamburg, Germany, Styles seemed more like a friendly, sporty older brother than the genre style icon he’s known for. Dressed casually in a blue Adidas sports jacket and gym shorts, with his hair up in a claw, he seemed anchored in the midst of his growing stardom.

A millennial anomaly: Styles kept his phone at arm’s length, demonstrating a zen-like approach. He conversed with a deliberate accent, contrasting the playful energy he once exuded in One Direction. Yet he remained affable, recalling previous conversations and feeling a genuine curiosity about life beyond music.

“My great uncle lives here,” he shared, remembering family visits and the language barriers of his childhood. “The only English word (my cousin) knew was ‘lemonade.’ “I never knew if I wanted lemonade or just water.”

The pandemic delayed his return to cities like Hamburg and forced him to pause his career. But during that time, Styles enjoyed personal growth, moving in with friends in Los Angeles and focusing on music creation. In collaboration with the producers, he created Harry’s House, inspired by Haruomi Hosono’s Hosono House. Styles treated the album as an internal monologue, summarizing a day in his life.

While traveling, he reflected on surreal experiences during lockdown, from driving to Italy to visiting the Trevi Fountain, where he found few tourists. “You’d just think, ‘It’s a strange time, isn’t it?’ and then he’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s fucking crazy!'”

Throughout all the chaos, Styles recognized the importance of connection. “I really would have struggled if I had done everything myself,” he acknowledged, echoing themes from “As It Was.” As she prepared for her world tour, she enjoyed the sweet rewards of success: a skincare line, fashion collaborations, and a burgeoning film career, including roles in Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman.

In Hamburg, Styles reflected on the complexities of being the world’s most wanted man, balancing fame with personal relationships. After sold-out Wembley shows, he adopted post-show rituals, including showering to wash away the overwhelming energy of his performances. “If you take it away, you’re just a naked person in your most vulnerable human form,” he explained.

Despite the immense love from fans, Styles struggled with his need for privacy. As she navigated her stardom, she recognized the importance of therapy. “I committed to doing it once a week,” he said. “I felt like I exercised daily and took care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do it with my mind?”

Through therapy, Styles confronted feelings he had not previously understood, accepting vulnerability and the importance of kindness. She learned to separate her public persona from her private life, allowing herself room to grow while also being a source of empowerment for her fans.

In the end, Styles struggled for balance. “I think I’m professional when I work, but when I’m not, I’m not professional,” he said. “I’d like to think I’m open, but I can be selfish sometimes. Still, I want to be a loving person.” In the whirlwind of fame, Harry Styles has become a symbol of modern pop stardom. He wrestles with the complexities of life in the spotlight while staying true to himself.
