During the inaugural night of his 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden, Harry Styles honored the legacy of Dolly Parton while also acknowledging a significant moment in pop culture. As his Saturday performance drew to a close, the singer made a playful reference to his former partner Taylor Swift’s recent nuptials to NFL player Travis Kelce, which took place at the same iconic venue.
Styles addressed the crowd at the arena, noting its status as home to the championship New York Knicks before quipping that the venue also hosts weddings. The comment appeared to be a lighthearted nod to Swift’s July 3 wedding ceremony. Though Styles was unable to attend the event due to his touring commitments, his fiancée Zoe Kravitz was present to celebrate the couple’s special day.
The two musicians, who dated briefly in 2012 and 2013, have maintained a cordial relationship over the years. Styles even made a subtle musical reference to their shared history during his concurrent performances at London’s Wembley Stadium, performing his 2017 track “Two Ghosts,” which many believe serves as his artistic response to Swift’s song “Style.” The friendly exchange demonstrates there remains no animosity between the former couple.
