[louisisalarrie]

i guess he’ll have to stop singing “i love him, i hate it” then. who else would it be about? simon cowell? like please.

This whole thing is weird, everything about it.

yep! Such an obviously timed denial that it’s basically transparent. I will reiterate my points here again, because this has frustrated me dearly as someone who is actively in the industry and has seen successful pr stunts and coverups. His team can’t crack the larries tho.

1. Timing - pre recorded denial dropped for promo as he left LATAM to go MIA before going back to tour in a few weeks + everyone will cool off by then

2. Urgency - there are no current media publications or any GP chats suggesting Louis and Harry are together, and there hasn’t been for a long time now, so there’s no damage control to be done (unless something hasn’t come out yet and it’s in preparation for said thing, BUA perhaps)

3. Content - drops the “my son Freddie” during it as well, boosting that stunt because it’s been pretty quiet since AOTV and a couple of tweets ages ago. again, no explicit denial and poor body language

4. Blacklisted Topic - we saw the other interviewer shut down the F thing, and he’s had many interviews where Larry and F aren’t brought up at all. It’s a topic put in there when it’s useful

5. Relevancy - not relevant to tour or current media presence whatsoever

6. Consistency - all interviews we have gotten recently have been strictly about his career, his festival, tour, inspirations etc., and we have one very personal and touchy topic randomly brought in with no context whatsoever

But I think what is making people stressed about this particular denial is because there was nothing calling for it. No media stir, no mentions of their names together or directly tied in media, no scandal or damage control (unless something breaks), so it seems more genuine and not just like he’s trying to clean up a mess like so many times before. But it’s also very obvious promo. Dropped as soon as he leaves LATAM? And everyone will cool off by the time he’s back. Absolutely standard and poorly done PR.

I don’t think managers know what they’re getting into when they start handling a 1d boy, frankly because our fandom is truly one of a kind. But, as much as I hate to say it, the Azoff’s have done what louis’ team should have done too. Stay silent about it, it’s not necessary to comment unless something big happens and it needs damage control. you’re only attacking your fans here, bud.

so, anyway… the patterns of every other denial have led to a BUA, a scandal, or their names being tied together and Larry being of public interest. Or have come from those things prior. However, this denial will probably pick up in the media, and tie louis’ name to Harry’s once more, to boost him a bit to sell some tickets.

everything was going so well, it was great to see him not talk about his personal life. so, it’s foreshadowing and a poor promo move, or just a poor promo move.

[alarrytale]

I have my theories as to why it's happening though

Can you share some theories? I can only think that they want free promo but I don't think it's worth it.

Can you share what is your theory why this is happening?thanks

Hi, both of you!

Sure! So there is a couple of things i'm absolutely sure of. This was set up and planned. The syndicated articles also tell me it's being pushed. They want this information out there. I'm also sure that this is coordinated with H's team, since he's implicated here and it affects his image too. So why do they want the information out there? Here are some thoughts;

Louis is on a radio promo tour to sell tickets to his tour. A denial could be to gain attention on himself to sell tickets. What speaks against it is that he did it in larryland aka latam where this won't work as planned, and none of the articles mention Louis is on tour or have tickets to sell. The headlines says it irritates him and he sounds like a pissbaby. Fangirls on the internet think he's dating international superstar, Harry Styles makes him irritated and annoyed? Why does he care so much that he has to deny it over and over again? So what kind of promo is this really? His team could be hoping for his tour being mentioned in the articles, but they didn’t get what they wanted.

He did another denial just six months ago, parmageddon. There is nothing that's triggered the need for a new denial every six months. He needed the attention back then to sell tickets and the presscoverage he got from it did mention he was touring. But this time around it's all larry focused...

Doing a denial every six months will draw attention to something he and Harry shouldn't want attention on. He gets to confirm his narrative that he's F's dad, but doing a denial like this just makes more people interested in the conspiracy theories. They also wonder why he's doing denials so frequently. He's creating more people who'll be interested in the rumours. He's saying don't look, and people will look. They won't buy tickets to his tour, but they will go down the rabbit hole.

What image is he going for? He's connecting himself to H in the media by deliberately pushing it, but also trying to disconnect from him by doing the denial? Distancing himself from H is in accordance with his image, he shouldn't want this attention on himself while trying to appeal to straight indie lads.

So are they attempting to quell the rumours and confirm his public narrative, or is he doing this for another reason? Louis is the one burdened with doing denials for the both of them, so is H about to do something really gay? Is he doing a pre-emptive denial and doing it for Harry?

He's done it twice in six months. Larry brings him a lot of attention. Are they changing things and starting to use larry for promo, or are they wanting eyes on larry because they are working towards a coming out (dare i say it, seeding)? The gay newsites are being super sarcastic, page six used manips, the media isn't siding with Louis on this. They either portray him as someone who's fans irritate him, or they're making fun of him. It isn't helping his reputation or image. It also isn't helping him gain new fans (of his portrayed image).

Things like this make long term larries tired. He always throws us under the bus. He is risking losing fans over this. At one point larries are going to reach their limit and stop buying what he's selling (but still be larries of course).

He's said he came to the conclusion that he can't do anything about it a couple of years ago. He said so be it. He's still doing denials, but he kind of sounds like this is the last time he'll address it and try to stop it? I don't believe this for a second for several reasons, so when is the next one? Next time he's got something to sell? Or?

Will this prompt H to finally respond and they'll double down? Going deeper in the closet?

So it could be several things. If it was just promo i'm really questioning if they're know what they're doing...they are taking some big risks here.

[statementlou]

Hi, I always like reading your thoughts. What do you thinking was the main point of all this parmageddon/chickengate nonsense? I just don't see how Louis answering that and making a few headlines about "denying" larry will benefit him in some way, at least with part of the fans it doesn't. Or at this point is any publicity is good publicity?

aw thanks babe! Well... first of all I'm not sure what you mean by "at this point" like... this is a very GOOD point, objectively speaking, things really just couldn't be going much better! That said, today's twitter chat was definitely Louis at work doing promo: it was pre planned and announced, hardly just a spontaneous impulse, he came on at the usual time for maximum exposure (around 5 pm UK/ 9 am-noon US time), he hit lots of standard promo talking points, and it was without question happening because he just announced a bunch of major dates, his first solo stadiums (and very possibly they announced those during the tour break so he could do promo for it). He answered questions about music, about how excited he is to visit LATAM and that yes, he wants to go other places, he threw in some of the trademark sassy snark we love so much, he mentioned Freddie and, of course, there was the anti-larrie tweet. He doesn't do that last one every time it's true; but mostly he hit the usual points, and throwing in some kind of "hi I'm straight btw" when promoting something IS absolutely part of the standard playbook, and this is actually much less effort than getting papped with a girl- especially now that Louis seems to have decided he's not doing that anymore. Every time something like this (Louis or Harry actively promoting the idea that they are straight) happens, there's an outcry at how they are alienating people and losing fans and it's bad for their brand so someone must be forcing them to do it, etc- which I find completely bizarre. It's always possible to find specific fans who are alienated or are like fuck this I'm leaving but if you take a step back their fandoms, both of them, are DEFINITELY NOT SHRINKING!! This is empirical completely objective FACT like just LOOK! Saying this hurts them in any way is, in my opinion, not being able to see the forest for the trees. The things they are doing are working extremely well for them- so it doesn't seem strange at all to me that they just keep doing the same things. I don't think anyone is doing it against their will on their behalf, I don't think they are being forced to do it (except by the heteropatriarchy and homophobic society generally), and I don't think it's bad for their brand: and as far as I can see today nothing has changed with that. Larries think exactly what we have thought before this and are carrying on as usual, solos/antis got a little boost, hell maybe Louis got to vent a little even (lbr larries ARE so fucking annoying at him all the time and it must seem SO ludicrous to him that we spend so much time thinking about this and care so much), his tour gets some press, and everything continues on as ever! Like I think calling it parmageddon is hilarious so I'm totally in, but also I mean... a bit dramatic yknow lol, it's just not that big a deal??

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

Jokes aside, people don’t actually appreciate the fact how difficult it is for an artist like Louis who had no radioplay or festival support to be able to manage and put on a successful first tour. It required a lot of grit and determination. It’s not easy, three of his other bandmates have much better sales and streaming numbers than him but they aren’t touring right now. Niall had the best openers one can imagine for his first tour. He had radioplay and industry support. He still didn’t reschedule his second tour after covid. He is doing everything possible now, going on the voice, playing European festivals etc. to ensure that he sells out. You can bet his tour shows won’t be as cheap as Louis. So many artists have cancelled their tours because it is challenging. Harry was always set up for success, didn’t he have all the celebrities turn up to his shows right from the beginning to show how cool it was to be at a Harry show. Weren’t all the media and influencers there to make it the most talked about thing right from the get go? He didn’t have to put it all together like Louis had to, you can bet any money on the fact that he wasn’t going on every detail like how far the audience would be from the stage and what the production would look like? He wasn’t reworking his songs with his musical director to just have the right kind energy for the live shows. He was instead working out in the gym and doing fittings for his customised wardrobe stolen from Juan Gabriel. Everything else was done for him, a multi Grammy winner was his opener, I have never understood why would Kacey Musgraves open for Harry Styles on his first album. To me that is misogynistic within itself but everyone does what the Azoffs want I guess. Anyway I am getting side tracked, what I am trying to say is that although Louis makes it look like it’s all fun and games, all he is doing is drinking, smoking and partying, there is a lot of work that goes into it. The attention to detail at his shows cannot be matched even by big huge production values the big artists have. His crew is so well looked after. A person who doesn’t care is not going to put in all that effort to bring in that kind of quality.

When I read stupid opinions which are passed around by the Larries like gospel without using any sort of critical thinking it makes my blood boil. Louis has put a lot of effort into putting on a successful tour despite all odds, I wish people wouldn’t minimise his achievements just because they see him having a good time and not sulking in a darkened corner.

Louis wrote an entire album with the focus on the tour shows. His co-writers understood that the production would have to reflect a live show.

You can also see the attention to production design in the live shows— the pyro, the special effects, the way that lighting syncs up with the music.

The 20 x 8 light grids in the LTWT backdrop. DN4. The way Fearless has its own video graphics. The black and white graphics for Only The Brave to contrast the rainbow flags and lights in the audience (🏳️‍🌈 which Oli knew about).

The way Louis listened to soundchecks from various parts of the venues to gauge how they sounded.

The way Louis gives opportunities to smaller / unsigned artists to open for him.

The meticulous post-show playlist. Louis’ outfits acknowledging the colors of regional football teams and sometimes the rivalries (Amsterdam, Latam, Italy).

The low ticket prices, meeting the audiences where they live, instead of the audiences having to trek to NYC. Never using dynamic pricing, even though it’s an option. Offering audiences full refunds on the pre-Covid concert tickets we had bought, and then carrying through with the scheduled tour.

Taking precautions during Omicron to switch out band members so they could quarantine and stay safe. Never having to cancel a show as a result.

Spending money on crew comforts during the tour— not only providing housing, travel, and meals, but a floating cocktail bar, parties, outings, business class tickets, five-star hotels, celebrations of milestones (Matt D’s stag party), time off to pursue their own music (Isaac’s gigs), spending money for group tattoos.

And then on top of all of this thoughtfulness and consideration, to finish recording and mastering a 20-track album, plan promo, shoot for promo articles and gigs, plan and play a festival in another country.

All this for a man who supposedly wants to stay home and “watch his husband become a mega star.” Stupidity doesn’t even begin to describe this attitude.

[alltheselights]

I feel like this cancellation was a mix of personal and logistical issues. I just wish Louis would have expanded a bit more about why the dates were cancelled :(

Yeah, honestly, I feel like cancellations are understandable to most fans, regardless of how upset they may be. Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Niall Horan, and Camilla Cabello are just a few major artists off the top of my head who have cancelled tours or large portions of their tours in the last several years...and yes, fans are always going to be upset about it, but most people do understand that it can happen for a bunch of different reasons.

What's unacceptable is how this was handled. Even if Louis didn't feel comfortable expanding on what's going on in detail, his team should have made the announcement before all the venues reached out to people. Adding a message on the website after the fact is not enough. It's always worse to drip feed people information and that's what was happening with the rumors and then venue after venue tweeting or sending out emails. And Louis' tweet fell a little flat, especially considering how late the notice is for this cancellation. Yes, people can get full refunds for the tickets, but so many people spend a lot more money for concerts, whether it's for hotels or travel or whatever, and a lot of people take time off or rearrange plans. And Asian fans almost never get to see him, which makes it even worse. The idea that Louis and his team don't owe fans anything when we're the entire reason the tour is happening in the first place is just blatantly untrue. That mentality is really weird to see. There are a lot of understandable reasons why a tour may get cancelled and Louis and his team have the right to make that call if it's necessary, but when they cancel ten days before the first show, he and his team absolutely do owe fans more than one short tweet.

This tour already appeared poorly planned and executed considering fans had like little notice before tickets went on sale, a lot of tickets got plucked up by scalpers immediately because there was no fan pre-sale, the different legs were announced at random times, some legs were never announced (LATAM, anyone?), Louis implied that more dates were coming (like India) weeks after dates were announced, and there was no promo. Now with this? While personal reasons may also play a role in this cancellation, it's an indisputable fact at this point that Louis' team lacks either the will or the ability to successfully execute the basics of their job. Louis indicated that he wanted to put out another album and tour quickly last year yet it seems that they did everything poorly and last minute. I have no doubt that they would've also waited until the week before tour started to figure out who the openers were like they did with LTWT.

Louis and his fans have a special relationship, but the longer his team's incompetence continues, the more strained it becomes for a lot of us. And things like this where it feels like too little, too late really doesn't help. I feel sad that he's not able to tour Asia because I know how much he wanted to, but more of my sympathy lies with the Asian fans who weren't treated the way they deserve.

[thethief1996]

My chemical romance has until next Wednesday (pre sales for primavera são paulo) to announce their latam tour or else they're xenophobic

[tomlinsins]

[zot3-flopped]

When does Louis tickets go on sale cuz I'm really interested to see how they are going to sell??? Cuz no matter they try to make a big deal out his venues being arenas and him playing some venues Harry played, let's remember that Harry is a stadium selling artist and it was his choice to play arenas this year. His next tour is all stadiums. Louis can only dream to play a stadium as a solo artist.

He probably will try to play stadiums in Latam.

No pre sale access without an album purchase from his own store, meaning that many Louies will be forced to buy the album twice. Greedy fucker!

[heystephen]

Taylor has never toured Latin America. Pre Sale and General Sale were it for me. I can't risk booking flights and hotel if I'm not sure I'll get tickets. This was it for me, so I am mad and I am upset. I'm not buying a 1000 dollar ticket either so now I'm just not going.

People in the US get 50 dates and we get literally 0, for Lover Fest she had 2 dates in Brazil and that's it and it was the first time she was touring Latin America, also those fans never got their money back after Lover Fest was cancelled.

Now I have to sit here and wait to see if she decides to tour Latin America for the first time ever with enough dates in more than one country (specially other than Brazil the only one that speaks Portuguese). The way I envy you so much right now because you get to wait it out and see resell ticket prices go down.

Being an International Swiftie is exhausting, now I need to save up to see if I might make it to one of the 6 dates she'll have for all of Europe.

im so sorry that this is the reality fot latam fans, and its not fair. i sincerely hope that you guys get some shows, and that your ticket buying process goes so much better than ours did esp considering the shows will probably be far more limited. i dont know much about concert venues over there, are there many venues that could hold the capacity outside of brazil? :( if anything, im sure there will be something wherever loverfest was meant to be if y'all never got refunded, right?

regardless, latam swifties deserve the shows they've been waiting years for and im constantly manifesting that for you guys <3

[cuddlerlouis]

now that I saw your tags about Chris Frewin.. some rads hate him bc of that lmaooo they dont like that he is always glued to Louis. Saw it last month and was so confused

why would anyone hate the guy when he’s literally one of louis’ managers and being around louis is literally his job lmao??

i just find it really funny that i didn’t know who he was before the first show of the latam leg and found out his name the time he got back to the hotel carrying louis’ pre-show clothes and ever since he’s been literally everywhere. i know matt vines and other members of louis’ team have been around for the big majority of the tour and the latam leg, and most probably were there every time they were partying, when they went sightseeing or on that yatch but weren’t always visible but chris someway was around in almost every frame of off tour content skfkdjdj
