Here’s everything to know about what you missed from the opening night,August 20. Read on for all the gifts Harry is giving us during this unprecedented run.

Harry Made The Case For Chevron

Of course, there’s his outfit. Styles wore a blue and white Gucci number, lined with sequins on the trim and outer pant legs. It harkened back to his brand, Pleasing’s latest “Hot Holiday” micro-collection last month, which featured a blue and white radial pattern on its packaging.

Harry Dove Into Old Favorites

He opened the night with “Daydream” off Harry’s House and followed up with Fine Line tracks “Golden” and “Adore You.” As the latter song ended, Styles urged the crowd to have as much fun as they possibly can before diving into newer songs.

Harry Called A Fan’s Ex

Harry is known to ask make public statements on behalf of his audience members. When one fan held up a sign about an old flame, Styles took matters into his own hands and called the ex, Josh, using her phone.

The call was brief, and Josh didn’t seem too torn up about it after a full convo with the star.

Harry Brought A Brass Section

The singer’s ever-expanding music portfolio now requires a collection of trumpets. His band teased “YMCA” by the Village People while transitioning from “Cinema” to “Music For A Sushi Restaurant.” Like “YMCA,” both are funk-heavy tracks.

Harry’s Audience Was Left Speechless

During Styles’ European leg of Love On Tour , fans screamed the iconic line “Leave America” from his single “As It Was” to express annoyance with the singer’s regular stints stateside.

However, fans on Saturday were noticeably quiet during the bridge of the viral tune. MSG clearly didn’t want him going anywhere. The sudden silence during “leave America” left the singer in stitches.

High-Kick Harry Returned

Styles and his music director Pauli Lovejoy ended the night with a dance to “Kiwi.” It’s a Love on Tour -staple. See it for yourself: Harry’s residences continue in New York, Austin, Chicago, and Los Angeles through Nov. 15. You’ll be glad you went. I was.
