HARRY STYLES
I was fortunate enough to go to the second night of Harry Styles’ 15-night Los Angeles residency at the Kia Forum, which is the last of five cities. This is now my fifth time seeing Harry live, and I can say with confidence that he outdoes himself every single time. If you haven’t been to any of his shows, you should know that Harry has an ongoing tradition where he helps his fans to come out and Monday night was no exception. A fan brought a sign that asked if Harry could “help me come out, but in a cool way.” He accepts, and after a long drum roll courtesy of his drummer, Sarah, he shouts “Katy, you’re gay!” while waving around the Bisexual Pride Flag. The whole arena cheers and is filled with applause while congratulating the newly out fan. Overall, this was potentially my favorite concert of the last year. Yes, it was that good. Beyond even the performance, the sense of community and energy you feel at one of these shows is completely unmatched.
