I went to four Harry Styles concerts on his North American leg this year, but The Forum shows are always a different kind of energy and excitement you do not see anywhere else. It could be because fans travel all across the world for the LA shows, or the countless amount of celebrities spotted. It could also be because the venue goes all out with props and decorations, or because Harry Styles just loathes Los Angeles. I strongly believe that it is a combination of all.
After not getting tickets to Night 2 (but randomly meeting SZA… that was a plus), I had really high expectations for Night 3. I wanted Harry to be wearing a killer outfit, to hear “Medicine” (his unreleased song), and to meet more A-list celebs. My friends and I had GA pit so we decided to get to the venue around 3pm for a chance of getting a close spot. We were numbers 1181 and 1182. Yeah… that’s a big number, but nothing is impossible.

Harry Styles came on stage as if he wasn’t just performing the same setlist on the same stage less than 24 hours ago. He truly never fails to amaze me with his natural show-pleasing appeal. Wearing green pants and a black shimmery vest, he danced the night away.
My favorite part of the show was when he stated how, “this is a safe place for anyone to be who they want to be. Dance and don’t look to see who is watching. Hug the person next to you even if you don’t know them. This show is full of love.”

Many celebrities were spotted at this show such as Halsey, John Mayer, James Corden, Meghan Trainor, and Alicia Silverstone. It was pretty hard to focus on Harry Styles in all honesty with these celebs right behind me. John Meyer was the most interesting to watch, either singing along to the songs or sitting down staring at his phone.
Halsey was a One Direction fan back in the day, so we all enjoyed seeing her live her best life and be friends with Harry Styles.
Overall, I’ve been a Harry Styles fan for a decade now and have seen him around eleven times. Let me tell you something: it never gets old. His shows never get old. His somewhat funny comedic punch-lines never get old. Meeting new fans who love him as much as I do never gets old.
Harry Styles will never be old news, only current news.
