Wow. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I actually finally got this timeline done almost 6 months after I posted January 2012. That’s in part to album promo, the holidays, etc., but also due, in large part, to the scope and length of this timeline. As I’ve progressed through 2011 and into 2012, there are much more articles, tweets, pictures and videos to wade through and make sense of.
But I think this one will be worth it.
August 2011 was what I call “bulletproof weeks.” February 2012 had a similar feel. Harry had “broken up” with Caroline at the very end of January (the same day he flew to America to start his American career wow what a coincidence) and Louis and Eleanor were barely half-assing it. These 4 weeks are so important, as I believe they were the last weeks they had where they were able to publicly display the reality and nature of their relationship without a lot of negative consequences.
And they did not hold back.

SKI TRIP PICTURE SOURCES: Louis and Eleanor left for France on their skiing trip the 7th and were gone until the 12th. Louis tweeted the only picture of him and Eleanor together on the last day around 11:15AM. He used twitpic to tweet the picture, which is notable because he only ever uploaded 5 pictures to his twitpic account. He tweeted one of his outfits during the X Factor boot camp in 2010, then didn’t use it again until the summer of 2011 when he tweeted another X Factor related picture while he was at one of the auditions. He then tweeted the 2 pictures he and Eleanor supposedly drew together in November 2011 and this ski picture. In addition, he tweeted a picture earlier in the week using yfrog, the picture service he used much more frequently up until that point. Why switch? Most notably, the picture he tweeted using twitpic was the only picture of him and Eleanor Louis’ account has ever directly tweeted. If you go through the other pictures posted directly on his Twitter, 90% of them are promo-related. Just putting that out there.
VALENTINE’S DAY: To summarize, Harry did go out with Nick and Alexa after Nick’s show on the night of the 14th. In an article from the Daily Mail published on the 17th, it says "After Grimshaw’s show where he interviewed another one of his celebrity pals Alexa Chung, the pair went out on the tiles with Styles." Alexa was on Nick’s show that night and Splash News published the pictures the next morning.
MARIO KART: See this post. I think it’s possible Harry & Louis were still irritated by the events of Valentine’s Night and weren’t afraid to let it be known.
HARRY & NICK: This month marked the beginning of the very public Harry Styles & Nick Grimshaw friendship played out in the press. While they had hung out much less publicly before, the pap events and Harry’s call-ins to Nick’s show began during the days after the Caroline split and leading up to One Direction’s American tour. Most of the articles published around these events portrayed Harry as "out on the prowl” for new ladies.
THE BRITS: See this post.
THEIR SCHEDULE: I just want to point out the craziiness of their schedule this month. They began the month on a promo trip to LA, Louis spent 5 days in France, had a night home, then was off to Sweden and France for 2 days with the band. The band got back late Valentine’s night, then had 2 full promo days in London, then went back to Italy for a day. Harry had LFW events for 2 days in a row. Then, the band went back to France for a day, had the Brits the next day, rehearsals the day after that, more LFW events for Harry, and then flew to America the next day. And the last 6 weeks have been the first time in 24 months they’ve had a time to catch their breath.
AMERICA - THE FIRST 2 DAYS: The first 2 days of the American leg of the Big Time Rush tour were different than the days that followed. They were more subdued…especially the Detroit radio appearance. They seemed comparatively more careful, more willing to appease their handlers and reign it in. But after Detroit, something changed.
AMERICA - WELCOME TO THE HARRY & LOUIS SHOW: Harry & Louis woke up in Toronto on the 26th without any fucks to give if people thought they were in a relationship. The next 4 days seemed a race to outdo the next with iconic moments and tweets and dates and they didn’t let up for anyone or anything.
PUNCH FOR PUNCH: I started these timelines to show the back and forth nature of the February-June 2012: Harry & Louis met every punch with a counter punch and they were ready to fight at the end of this month. The next 4 months were a brawl.
