Harry Styles made a rare reference to his former flame Taylor Swift when he made a cheeky remark about her wedding during his August 29 show at Madison Square Garden.
Harry said towards the end of his concert, “We’re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks! And they also do weddings!”
Harry’s “weddings” remark appears to be a clear nod to the fact that Taylor married Kansas City Chiefs tight end and 3-time Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce at the famous arena in July.
Harry is not believed to have attended the wedding due to being on tour at the time, but his fiancée Zoe Kravitz was a guest.
Swift was seen in 2023 helping the “Big Little Lies” star celebrate her birthday, two years before her fast-moving relationship with Styles hit the headlines. After first being romantically linked in August 2025, Kravitz revealed they were engaged less than a year later in April 2026.
Her attendance at Swift’s wedding seems to prove there’s no “bad blood” between the two starlets over the One Direction superstar, who previously shared an on-off romance with Swift that became a tabloid fixation in January 2013.
That month, Swift was unforgettably seen departing early on a boat from a Caribbean vacation after a reported blowout argument cut the holiday short.
Harry Swift First Sparked Romance Rumors With Taylor Swift in 2012
Back in 2012, Harry Styles turned attention to himself and the “Down Bad” singer by stopping by “The X Factor” while she was rehearsing to perform on the show.
In a relationship timeline for the pair, People points out they reported back then that they’d been told by sources that Harry “was smiling at her while she rehearsed. When she was done he jumped up on stage, picked her up, put her over his shoulder and carried her off stage. The whole crew was really surprised.”
Harry Styles Honored Dolly Parton on the Opening Night of His MSG Residency
Harry held a moment of remembrance for Dolly Parton as he kicked off his 30-show Madison Square Garden residency, which will wrap up by Halloween. He showed his admiration by playing her own version of her famous track “I Will Always Love You” over the speakers as fans cried and sang along.
The “As It Was” singer stated, “I wanna say a proper ‘Thank you’ to all the musicians over the years that’ve inspired me. Dolly, we love you, thank you so much.”
In her “Songteller” book, Dolly reflected on the very first time she heard Whitney Houston sing the song that cemented Dolly as a songwriting titan and skyrocketed her wealth. She revealed she’d granted “The Body Guard” permission to use the track, but with the uncertainty of showbiz, she didn’t know whether or not Whitney would end up recording it.
One day in her car, Dolly says she turned on the radio and heard Whitney’s majestic voice belting the tune, giving her “the best feeling” she ever experienced in her whole life.
