is this more or less meaningless… bc i’m scared to feel a little hopeful 😭 seems like so many accs (that get a lot of engagement on a regular basis) have been posting about his public appearances more frequently

When you think back to FITF release time, the album barely even got enough critical reviews to make Metacritic (5 major media sources are needed), and the fact that Variety hasn’t ever reviewed any of his LA concerts except to mention the noise, and the BBC does not know a solo Louis song.

Being invited to perform at a Rolling Stone UK event is huge. Playing a UK festival and holding his own. Being invited to the Australian Open, F1 Monza. Being featured in an Adidas documentary, along with Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham (and prominently posted throughout social media). Now being one of the highest engagement celebs at NFL / Super Bowl.

There’s no question that something changed. Louis has completed two long, well-attended tours, and he’s run four festivals himself. The festival run last year showed that he was the real deal.

None of this was conceivable around the time of Walls release. There weren’t any big music magazine profiles pre-FITF (I don’t count the Observer, Telegraph, or BBC print interviews, which were as negative to his image as positive).

I don’t think this necessarily translates to radio play (but I wouldn’t rule it out), but in 2025, Louis Tomlinson is a real presence in music, something he earned through hardship and talent.

Final comment. Louis is attending the Super Bowl as a contracted ambassador with NFL UK to bring the sport to a UK audience. Moreover, it’s intended for a male audience, just like the Adidas Predator cameo. It means that Louis is positioning himself toward a male audience, and the UK cultural crowd feels that he has this pull.
