The sold-out crowd of roughly 20,000 fans didn’t need this reminder — even before Styles took to the stage for his first of a whopping 15 shows at the iconic New York City venue, the attendees were operating on a good-vibes-only basis. Those vibes started with a set from alternative R&B star Blood Orange, which saw the performer break out hits like “You’re Not Good Enough” and “Time Will Tell” throughout a chilled-out set.
It was a set up Styles made sure he mentioned early-on in his set of bangers. “Quick disclaimer — this show is in 360 degrees, we’re in the round,“ he said. “Sometimes we’re gonna be face-to-face, eye-to-eye, window to soul-to-window to soul. That means that some of the time I’ll be facing away from you, and you’ll be face-to-ass. If you find yourself discovering a preference, let me know and I will deliver face and ass evenly.
In a stunning moment of crowd work, Styles ended up getting the fan to pass her phone up to the stage so he could call the young man and give him a piece of his mind — yet as soon as he answered, Josh hung up. “I hope you all the happiness, but not with Josh,” he said with a gentle smile. “Someone who treats you with respect and loves you for who you are — it’s never Josh!”
