The audacity of the man to sing no control for the first time solo at afhf then say he's never doing it again, then say 1d lyrics that he wrote were too raunchy (while sitting on jump the gun) AND then bring back No Control

Not sure if everyone caught this, but apparently for Europe we can enter presale through links on weverse or on the tour site.

LARRIEST TOURS - 2021 Reschedule

You know, I thought the 2020 tours were the Larriest, but I was wrong. You can see the data here.

Harry and Louis are performing on the same night only three times. Mind you, Harry’s South American dates have not yet been rescheduled so this could change.

Both of them are in Europe at the same time, but more than that, when Louis is between legs, Harry is finishing Europe. Then Harry has a break while Louis is on his other legs. Louis’ tour ends in June and Harry picks up again in August.

I’m gonna Larrie the shit out of this and say pick someone supportive.

* I am not an expert. I know lots of things go in to a tour reschedule. But I’m gonna be over here having fun.

I still don’t have all of my thoughts together to describe how much this night means to me. It still feels like a dream. I cried and cried during the Red and 1989 tours thinking that I would never see Taylor again because I couldn’t afford it. I had a lot going on in my life. I was struggling with major depression, a drug addicted mom that was abusive, and so many other things I won’t get in to. Taylor’s music was the only thing that made me feel okay again. I would come on tumblr and just chit chat the night away with other fans. I felt like I belonged. This tour, I was just so excited to be going to 3 shows with my friends I met on tumblr during the Speak Now era. I was so excited to be able to be on the floor for 2 of those nights. I didn’t expect to meet Taylor and I thought I never had a chance in hell. I would get upset thinking that she’d never want to meet me, never want to hug me, never know who I am. I still can’t believe they told us in Rep Room that she hand picked us. Taylor told us she saw our big, beautiful smiles and she had to give us a hug. I got to thank her for everything, got to hear her tell me I’m “SO NICE,” got to finally get the hug I’ve been waiting a decade for. I will never have the words to thank Taylor for what she’s done for me. She’s been a constant in my life for 10 years, given me my best friends, and made me feel like the most special person in the world. Here’s to the rest of my life being spent by her side, supporting and cheering her on. Taylor, if you ever see this - Thank you for being you, for always being in my corner, and for sharing your writing with the world so that girls like me can grow up to be strong women like you.

I'm having a cry over the 1989 tour in preparation for the Aussie shows.

Scrolling through my Instagram feed and I had a random post from The Forum (in LA) saying “welcome back”. Just out of curiosity, I looked through the comments. Saw one about the recent “Black Crows” concert. The concert goer was stating they were highly disappointed that although advertised that they would, the Forum did not check for vaccinations and did not hold people to the mask mandate. They said they had felt comfortable going in the first place because these requirements were in place. Somehow, I feel this is going to be the norm. Venues just not bothering. Although, I would feel this would leave them with a lot of culpability if people get sick.

This just does not surprise me. What’s fascinating is that they check your bag and your ticket so at one of those places they could also check an ID and vaccination. But I’ve just never seen it done at a venue of more than 500 people.

Also, the idea of being at a show with a mask feels like a bummer. I’d rather they postpone until folks can be inside without masks.

But it’s not my call in the end.

Hi Liz! I have a question about HSLOT tickets, and I scrolled but didn’t really see the answer so I’m hoping maybe you (or one of your lovely followers) can help me out. This will be my first Harry show, so I only kind of know what to expect, and I have Cherry pit tickets. I’m going with a friend who also has Cherry pit tickets, but there’s a slight difference between our tickets in that mine say “PITC1” and hers “PITC2”. We aren’t worried about the authenticity of the tickets (we have them both in our Ticketmaster accounts) or anything like that, just aren’t sure what the difference is and Google isn’t yielding and results. And I am constantly curious and nosy and will probably explode from curiosity if I have to wait until the show to find out. Thanks!

Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

I’m pretty sure those numbers are some internal mechanism. Several of the pits or GA experiences I had for HSLOT originally had multiple numbers for the same pit. Cherry and Watermelon are separated but you’ll be able to go in with your friend.

I have no idea how you’d Google that to be honest.

Have fun!

So Elton John just rescheduled his US tours dates to 2022. He was the first one out of the gates last year to reschedule so I’m guessing the domino effect will start soon.

I’ve been saying for a while that 2021 in the US feels bananas optimistic. We seem to be unwilling to get our shit together. 

The other problem (I think) is that it’s not cost-effective to mount a world tour that doesn’t hit all the legs. There are sunk costs involved that include the sets and staff and such. I think they’d need to be reasonably certain they could do the full tour or they’re not going to go at all. So while Europe may be ok. Or certainly Australia/New Zealand, the US is a shit show. Also, there’s no way to do some US states and not others.
