Harry Styles: HARRYWEEN - Fancy Dress Party

October 30th of 2021 marked a day in history that teenage girls across the country will remember for years to come. 7:00 pm, Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, Harryween night one commenced. Fans costume bets were on Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Alice in Wonderland considering the redundant use of bunnies in Mr. Style's merch. Fans were pleasantly surprised when Harry skipped out onto the stage dressed head to toe in a Wizard of Oz Dorothy costume.
The artist proceeded to cover the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The rest of Harry's band, The Love Band, was dressed in custom Gucci costumes as the characters from the classic musical, featuring the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin-man, the Wicked Witch of the West, Glenda the Good Witch, and The Wizard of Oz. 

Madison Square Garden was filled with energy and excitement, as well as complaints from the wrestling match taking place downstairs, with fear that the floor was going to cave in.

The fun didn't stop there. October 31st was a new day, and another Harryween Fancy Dress Party. The day of, fans continued to hope for a Harry dressed as Frank N. Furter. As the day came to a halt and night bestowed its self, a copy of night two's setlist got leaked and revealed to fans that he would be performing an unreleased favorite "Medicine" and a cover of Britney Spears's "Toxic." Immediately, fans predicted Harry would come out in a green butterfly top with a yellow boa constrictor around his neck

Harry presented himself on stage dressed as every single fan who guessed his costume wrong, a clown. 

Fans were over the moon for the costume, only because not a single person guessed it. Some insist the costume is an easter egg for his future album. 

The artist finished the night by being awarded the Madison Square Garden Gold Ticket Award. Joining the ranks of Fleetwood Mac, Bon Jovi, Elton John, and Billy Joel by selling out 5 MSG shows. All of which Harry did within this past month. Harry Styles is the first artist to receive this award in the 21st century. Harry's final show of this tour will be November 28th in Long Island, NY.
