For the better part of 2018, Mr. Harry Styles has been on tour all across the world. He started in Switzerland before making his way around Europe, then jetting off to Australia, followed by Asia and Latin America, and ending in North America, with his final show taking place in Los Angeles. He played 60 shows - including two nights in New York City's Madison Square Garden and two nights in London's O2 Arena.

Harry made it his goal at each show to create an environment of love and kindness. Styles told fans at multiple shows to "feel free to be whoever you want to be in this room" and encouraging everyone to "choose love" when they leave the venue. Bella, a 16-year old who attended the Nashville show, said "Harry Styles concerts are a safe space for anyone, regardless of who you are or where you're from," also sharing that Harry makes her feel "important, loved, and able to freely express myself." From waving flags representing the LGBTQ+ community and the Black Lives Matter movement to interacting with all kinds of different fans, Styles successfully created a safe space for his audiences of thousands. Kenzie, 19, says that her "favorite thing about Harry is how genuine he is" - and she's not alone. With his "treat people with kindness" motto, Harry Styles is doing his best to make a difference in the world.

With a sold-out arena and thousands of fans watching via Periscope Livestream, Harry made sure that the final show was one to remember. He chose a truly iconic outfit for the occasion, wearing a sparkly black and gold custom Gucci suit by Alessandro Michele. When he traveled to the second stage for a short acoustic set, he brought his band (Sarah Jones, drums/vocals; Adam Prendergast, bass/vocals; Clare Uchima, keys/vocals; Mitchell Rowland, guitar/vocals) along with him to surprise fans with his highly praised cover of "Girl Crush." Styles and fans all across the world got emotional while he performed his powerful debut single "Sign Of The Times." At the end of the night, it was time for rock song "Kiwi" - his finale - but Harry wasn't ready to end the night yet. He started the song over without warning, sending fans into a frenzy. He ran down the catwalk (leaving his flustered bodyguard behind) like a crazy person, and showed off some true rockstar dance moves. As the song was coming to an end, he decided that still wasn't enough and told his band to play "Kiwi" a THIRD time. 12 minutes is a lot of rocking out for a man with asthma, but that didn't stop him. Though he was breathing heavy, he didn't miss a beat of dancing and truly enjoyed himself. The night ended with an emotional group hug and bow from Harry and his band before they walked off stage for the final time.
