Harry Styles started his own concert Halloween celebration, "Harryween," in 2021, when he did a 15-day residency at Madison Square Garden. This weekend, while Styles is pursuing an even longer 30-day residency, Harryween returned to the Garden.
On Friday, Styles dressed as ’70s Elvis and as himself auditioning for The X Factor . He covered Stevie Wonder’s "Isn’t She Lovely," which is the song he sang for his X Factor audition. That night, he also had some commentary about the price of caffeinated beverages in New York City, which he is very much not wrong about, although the sentiment feels a bit warped coming from a pop star.
Last night, on actual Halloween and the final night of his MSG residency, he dressed up as the famous Pizza Rat and then wore an "I Am a Rat" T-shirt. His fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, was a bodega plastic bag, which felt very spiritually aligned with the rat costume as NYC iconography. To make it even more New York, the King of New York, Knicks basketball player Jalen Brunson, presented Styles with his 30-day residency banner. It seems Brunson dressed up as Styles in running gear, a baseball cap, and headphones, the look he’s been sporting while walking across the Williamsburg Bridge.
He also debuted a "Psycho Killer" cover. Earlier on this tour, he sang some of Talking Heads’ "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" during "Treat People With Kindness."
