I have some harry questions for you! What are your favorite five moments from Harry's promo? Your favorite 3 performances? And your all time favorite look this year?
Okay *cracks knuckles* the time has come for me to answer what LITERALLY have to be the 3 most difficult questions I’ve ever been asked lol. I’ve enjoyed everything about Harry’s solo launch so much it feels nearly impossible to choose my favorite parts, but for you, I’ll try! Just please know that for every answer I pick, there could easily be 5 million other answers that I feel just as passionately about :’) Anyway, without further ado:
Favorite Promo Moments
1. Harry crying over Stevie Nicks
This one could also qualify as one of my favorite performances of the year, and I will honestly never be over it!! For someone so young, Harry is refreshingly unfazed by fame and not easily starstruck. So to witness him during such a moment of vulnerability over getting to perform with his idol was truly something special and magical to behold. I will never forget how hard I cried that night, and I will forever be a mess and grateful as hell that I got to experience it via grainy livestream.
2. Harry and Fionn
Okay, I’m assuming I can include Dunkirk promo because Harry ft Fionn is just way too good to leave out lol. I generally loved Harry being part of such an amazing cast of beautiful men, but I especially LOVED his dynamic with Fionn. It was literally so much fun seeing Harry make Fionn slowly fall in love with him (much like the rest of the world) and to watch Fionn come out of his shell right before my eyes. Like Harry is only a few years older than him, but it was really sweet the way he used his experience to put Fionn at ease and help his personality shine. I love these two talented babs, and I miss seeing them together!!
3. Late Late Styles
A week long Late Late Show residency and THE best Carpool Karaoke segment in history?? Hell yeah! I absolutely loved everything about his week on the Late Late Show and how it allowed him to showcase how versatile, talented, and hilarious he is. From hosting to performing to doing skits… it was all incredibly impressive and quite frankly, a fucking dream come true. #Blessed. Fun Fact: I’ve seen his Carpool Karaoke at least 50 times and that is not even a slight exaggeration loll
4. Harry standing up for his fans
First of all, it was super amazing that Harry got a Rolling Stone cover so early in his solo career, but it was made even better by the fact that he used that platform to stick up for his his fanbase–particularly young girls. This was not a surprise to any of us who’ve followed Harry over the past several years, but I really love that it made clear the fact that Harry doesn’t see attracting older, male fans as a requirement for being taken seriously as an artist.That is such an endlessly important message, and it made me so happy that this quote in particular went viral and set the internet on fire.
5. Choose love, give love
When Harry performed his secret show in Mexico shortly after the tragic bombing in Manchester, he gave us all an extra special reminder and some important words to live by. “Be a lover. Choose love, give love, love everyone always. Give as much love as you can.” That night has stayed with me all year, not only because Harry performed so passionately in honor of the victims of the attack (and basically tore my heart right out of my chest), but also because he reminded me that love is a CHOICE. It’s not about doing nice things every now and then because you happen to be in a good mood. It’s about making a conscious decision every single day that you are going put good out into the world and make it a bit brighter. There are so many ugly things happening all the time, and I love that Harry used his platform to encourage us all to be better to one another.
BONUS: Some promo honorable mentions I have to include!! – Harry debuting SOTT on the Breakfast Show (and Harry & Nick in general), Harry on SNL (what the fuck!!!), and the entirety of Harry at the BBC.
