LIGHTS UP

And on the second day of promo Harry gave to us heart failure positive reinforcement! Happy Mental Health day, said Harold, as he subjected to us to anxiety the likes of which this fandom hasn't suffered in years. Like a release time announcement would kill you?? Anyway... Doyouknowwhoyouare dot com was discovered to be a delightful meme generator machine wherein you enter y/n and are told who you are! (and "TPWK, love, H") The 94 (!!!) possible answers are mostly mild and encouraging (Brave, Fantastic), some a little kickier (Free, A sweet creature, A whole snack, The bee's knees), and some a little... less encouraging? (Off your rocker, Impressively loud, the disappointing Reliable...) Harry himself (Up to no good, A legend, One of a kind) was all over, liking posts ('@Harry release new music'), following fans (and a band, Cannons), commenting on things and even posting! In reply to "I guess therapy can wait... HS2 and tour can't" he said, "go to therapy it's important. I'll wait for you" with the world mental health day hashtag, mhmm. Well maybe the hashtag isn't the thing and it's the 'go to therapy' part we should be looking at... Watching us go wild with the meme site, he added a "haaaaang on a second" to someone's 'HS2 tickets: you are free version.' He posted the DYKWYA image to his insta stories, Columbia posted it to theirs, Harris Reed posted a blue version to theirs, Harris (Creative) and Harry Lambert (Cheeky) posted their meme results. An Aussie DJ (Enthusiastic) invited fans to call in to get to introduce the new single, seemingly confirming that DYKWYA is the single title (as did an unverified Genius page), but it seemed he was just going off fan rumors. And sure enough... well we'll get to that. News articles about all this (and hoo boy is it getting press) all say that it's an album he's teasing anyway. About fifteen minutes before midnight UK time Spotify updated the covers of multiple playlists, including the New Music Fri list, with Harry pictures (new pics! HS2 pics!) prompting absolute pandemonium and nail biting awaiting the hour... and then nothing happened. Were you hoping Harry missed your embarrassing freakout? (Not alone) He was spotted on the street tonight in London, he might have still been out? Lol nope! He was right there lurking: after the chaos died down he liked a punny tweet and one from a stressed out fan. And then did things calm down while we all waited for midnight Eastern? No ma'am! They did not! Then spotify sent! out! notifications! Saying Listen Now to Harry Styles' new single Lights Up! The links did not work of course but UMM!! And that friends is where we're leaving you, tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion...(all of us in therapy for our anxiety)

Louis (Impressively loud, A sweet creature) posted a cute selfie to his story. Stellar Magazine, coming out Sunday, has a Louis interview. Tickets for the Nashville show went on sale this morning, I hope everyone trying for them got good ones! The poor Mexican fans, on the other hand, (Determined) are locked in an epic struggle for Telehits tickets: the passes are free but you have to win them through the Telehits TV show by answering questions via email and hoping for the best. Add in two 1D boys? 80k emails and a crashed system! 80 of 60,000 tickets have been distributed thus far. I'm truly praying for y'all and that website (Trying your best) in this stressful time. The good Telehits news: the show will be streamed live! In HQ! Hell yes.

Niall (Sassy, Loyal) was papped in NYC and continued to have interviews air but mostly stuck to his announced break. The media went heavy on OooOo Niall and Selena Gomez?? even going so far as to publish pictures claiming they were of Selena arriving at Niall's LA home: Niall's assistant Tara (Reliable) replied to a tweet being like uh isn't Niall in NY to say yes that was correct, they were in NY, with a pic and everything. Niall boosted Shawn Mendes (Extra) singing NTMY and let us know about a NTMY insta filter that allows us all to pretend we're wearing shades in the rain, why Niall. Why.
