Harry Styles slipped in a joke about ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift\u2019s wedding during night three of his Madison Square Garden residency on Saturday, Aug. 29.<\/p>\n
Near the end of his set, Styles hyped the venue\u2019s recent history before the punchline: \u201cWe\u2019re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks!\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cAnd they also do weddings.\u201d<\/p>\n
The line drew loud cheers. Swift married NFL star Travis Kelce at the Garden on July 3 in a star-studded ceremony. Adam Sandler officiated, and guests included Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, Bradley Cooper and Lena Dunham, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Styles\u2019 fianc\u00e9e, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, attended without him. He was performing at Wembley Stadium in London that same night on his Together, Together tour, and fan footage captured him singing \u201cTwo Ghosts,\u201d long believed to be his response to Swift\u2019s 2014 hit \u201cStyle.\u201d<\/p>\n
A residency already drawing outsized attention<\/p>\n
Styles and Swift dated from November 2012 to January 2013, a relationship widely understood to have inspired \u201cStyle.\u201d He reportedly received a wedding invitation but couldn\u2019t attend because of tour commitments.<\/p>\n
The MSG residency, his first run of live shows since 2023, opened Aug. 26 and runs through Halloween. It is the sole set of U.S. stops on the Together, Together tour supporting his new album, \u201cKiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,\u201d released in March. Billboard reported the run drew 11.5 million presale ticket registrations<\/a> in January, which Ticketmaster called the highest volume ever recorded for an artist presale.<\/p>\n Opening night carried its own emotional weight. Styles overhauled his setlist and paused to honor Dolly Parton, who had died the day before. \u201cDolly, we love you. Thank you so much,\u201d he told the crowd before her 1974 recording of \u201cI Will Always Love You\u201d played over the PA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Wilnel Jos\u00e9 Verd\u00fa Guerrero \/ Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0) Harry Styles slipped in a joke about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-333294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
