World 2 sources 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 34m ago

Harry Styles opened his sold-out engagement at Madison Square Garden with a completely revamped setlist and a special tribute to country music superstar Dolly Parton. The performance marked a significant departure from his usual routine, as the artist had maintained a largely consistent setlist for 33 shows over nearly three months following the opening of his tour in Amsterdam, aside from a single orchestral performance in London.

During the concert, Styles briefly paused the show to address the audience and honor Parton, telling the crowd, "We Love You." The opening night at Madison Square Garden represents a major update to his live performances, breaking the pattern established earlier in the tour.
