Harry Styles Launches Spectacular Madison Square Garden Residency with Star-Studded Night

Harry Styles kicked off his highly anticipated 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, electrifying fans with a vibrant new setlist and a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton. The evening marked the beginning of his "Together, Together" tour, which encompasses all his U.S. performances this year.

The concert opened with the lively track "Dance No More" from his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which debuted in March. Styles immediately captured the audience's energy as he danced across the neon-lit stage, replacing the usual opener, "Are You Listening Yet?"

In a nod to the recently victorious New York Knicks, who won the NBA Championship in June, Styles engaged the crowd with light-hearted banter, transforming the arena into his own personal space. The night featured a surprise performance of "Carolina," a fan favorite from his debut solo album that hadn't been played live in years.

Throughout the concert, Styles performed hits like "Adore You" and "Watermelon Sugar" alongside newer tracks such as "As It Was" and "Music for a Sushi Restaurant." The audience's enthusiasm peaked with the performance of "Kiwi," prompting an ecstatic reaction from front-row fans.

Notable attendees included Styles' fiancée, actress Zoë Kravitz, and other celebrities like Gayle King and Drew Barrymore, who were seen enjoying the show together. In an emotional moment, Styles paid tribute to the late Dolly Parton, who passed away just days before, by playing her iconic song "I Will Always Love You," prompting fans to join in.

The night concluded with Styles’ upbeat track "Aperture," setting the stage for the remaining shows in his residency that will continue through Halloween.
