Often referred to as “my Harry” by Nicks, Styles has been a known fan of Fleetwood Mac over the years from covering “Landslide” with Nicks herself to making Mick Fleetwood the face of his beauty brand, Pleasing. There was not a dry eye in the stadium with fans saying that even Styles himself appeared teary-eyed.Ĭloser snippets from different angles can be found on social media for us to get the most out of this intimate moment between him and the audience. Fans were stunned by the tribute and especially touched by the emotion in his voice accompanied by the gentle plucking of his guitar. Hours after the social media posts rolled in, he was doing a surprise performance of the 1977 hit “Songbird” written by McVie and performed by Fleetwood Mac on their acclaimed album Rumors.

With his second solo release (2019’s Fine Line), he felt a bit “freer,” but remained concerned with making “really big songs.” Harry’s House was built off a smaller but far more significant goal: to make music with legacy. Styles reflected on the process of creating his album Harry’s House to Better Homes and Gardens in April 2022, saying, “Finally, it doesn’t feel like my life is over if this album isn’t a commercial success.” With his first album (2017’s self-titled Harry Styles), he was scared of making fun music “because I’d come out of, and it was like, if I want to be taken seriously as a musician, then I can’t make fun music.” Of course, leaning to take himself a little less seriously is something Styles has been actively working on over the past few years, the artist says. Styles and his team were forced to improvise on the spot, likely contributing to the usually calm, cool and confident Styles’ unsteadiness. In real time, we had to troubleshoot and try to do a complete piece in reverse.

Freaking all of us out on live television, and there was nothing we could do to stop it. We get on stage for the performance, the performance starts and the turntable starts going the wrong way.”Īnother dancer, Brandon Mathis, corroborated this story with his own, reposted by Styles fans on TikTok: “What you don’t know is that the moment the curtain opened and it was time to perform, our turntable started spinning in reverse.

At dress rehearsal, it was gorgeous it was amazing. “This whole time we were practicing it with the turntable counterclockwise,” they said. Despite Styles and his dancers’ best efforts, both the audio and the visuals seemed stilted and confused.Īfter the ceremony-for which Styles was nominated for six Grammys, and won two, including Album of the Year-multiple Styles back-up dancers revealed the real reason behind the bizarre performance: A tech mishap nearly derailed the whole show.Ī dancer named Dexter Da Rocha shared in a since-deleted TikTok video that the turntable Styles and his team had rehearsed on “for ten days” suddenly started moving in the wrong direction when the Grammys performance began. The look might have prompted numerous audience members-yes, including Taylor Swift-to dance in the disco effect he projected, but others were immediately puzzled by the seeming awkwardness of the show. Harry Styles brought his sartorial showmanship to the Grammys 2023 stage, performing a near-blinding rendition of his song “As It Was” in a custom silver sequin-embroidered T-shirt and sequin-fringed trousers by Gucci, paired with metallic Adidas x Gucci Gazelle sneakers.
