STILL THE ONE: A timeline.
October 2013 was when Harry first began to publicly mention “Still the One.” It was an exhausting time, for them and for fandom. The end of the Take Me Home Tour, another album and tour on the horizon, break-up rumors, drug rumors, the beginning of public separate travel for Zayn and Louis. They were tired, we were tired, everybody wanted a break. And then Harry…
16 October 2013 - During Twitter questions on the Take Me Home tour in Melbourne, Australia, the boys were asked “What one song did you listen to growing up that you still love to listen to now?” and for some reason at 5:12 instead of saying what his song would be, Harry walks over to Niall and whispers it in his ear, while Louis watches closely I might add, and then Niall turns to look at Louis and then back to Harry and says, “Go on and tell ‘em.” but Harry doesn’t seem to want to say it or something, and Louis is looking at him, and Niall says, “Do you want me to tell ‘em for you?” and Harry agrees, so Niall says, “Harry says “Still the One” by Shania Twain.” and Harry kinds of smiles this cute smile.”
28 October 2013 - During Twitter questions in Melbourne, Australia on 28 October, the boys were asked what embarassing songs they had on their iPod. “Harry said “Well, I have one - I’m not embarrassed though, I’m not embarrassed!” and Niall prompted him to continue so Harry was like “Okay, it’s Shania Twain.” Niall responded and Harry said, “Have you HEARD ‘Still The One’ though??” and wanted to talk about how good it was. Then Louis did that adorable you’re-too-cute-for-this-world head-tilt, smiling really widely, and said something about how Harry was really into her lately. And Harry just kept agreeing and going on about how good the song was. It was all very, very cute.”
Since that time, it’s been a Thing ™ for larries.
Then in Fall 2017, he brought it back…
15 September 2017 - Harry played the song on a kazoo onstage at the Greek Theatere.
11 June 2018 - “Still the One” was played during the soundecheck for the show in Atlanta.
18 June 2018 - Audio of Harry singing “Still the One” during soundcheck in Boston is posted online.
So Harry…
22 June 2018 - HE FUCKING SANG “STILL THE ONE” ON STAGE AT NIGHT 2 OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
30 July 2018 - Kacey Musgraves says Harry insisted on singing “Still the One.”
Radio host: Whose idea was it to do the cover of “You’re Still the One?”
Kacey: Well…I texted him like “We have to do a Shania song.” And he was like “I’ll think on this. Let me have a think and I’ll get back to you.” And he was like “Alright, ‘You’re Still the One.’ It has to be that one. It has to be that song”
