\n\tHarry Styles performed for the first time<\/a> in nearly three years at the BRIT Awards<\/a> on Saturday night, marking the live debut of \u201cAperture\u201d amid his \u201cKiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally\u201d era.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe performance<\/a> set off the award show and began with BRIT host Jack Whitehall in a barbershop, reading on his phone that Styles would be taking a break from music in 2023. What followed was a montage of Whitehall pining after Styles in various iterations \u2014\u00a0thinking he happened upon Styles while jogging, embracing Styles\u2019 wax figure at Madame Tussauds \u2014 before finally making it to the BRIT Awards in time for Styles\u2019 performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tStyles then began the live debut of \u201cAperture\u201d on a set of bleachers, flanked by dozens of dancers wearing black shades and T-shirts with snails on them. The singer, dressed in high-waisted dress pants and a shirt with a tie, led the choreography before strutting down the stage to join a backing band and gospel singers. His dancers then met him in the middle of the venue for a finale, surrounding him as they waved their hands in synchronicity.<\/p>\n

\n\tStyles\u2019 fourth studio album, \u201cKiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally\u201d will debut on March 6. Its lead single, \u201cAperture,\u201d was released Jan. 22 and debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and U.K. singles chart. Styles has promised that his new record will be synthesizer-heavy, with inspiration including LCD Soundsystem and his time living in Berlin. <\/p>\n
