Harry Styles turns MSG into ‘Harry’s House’ in the first of 15 shows

August 21, 2022

These days, Madison Square Garden is Billy Joel’s house. New York’s resident “Piano Man” has pretty much owned the Big Apple arena since he started his monthly residency there in Jan. 2014.

But on Saturday night, MSG was transformed into “Harry’s House,” as Harry Styles brought his Love on Tour 2022 trek to the iconic venue for the first of 15 — yes, 15! — sold-out concerts that will run through Sept. 21.

In effect, the 28-year-old pop phenomenon is having his own residency at the world’s most famous arena, doing more shows in just one month than Joel would do in a year.

And of course, the pop universe has basically been Harry’s world since he dropped his third solo album, “Harry’s House,” in May, celebrating it with a release-day concert at the new UBS Arena in Long Island. But he managed to turn MSG into an intimate room where every one of his screaming and squealing fans — decked out in feather boas, sequins and glitter, whatever the gender — felt seen and heard in a communal safe space.

“Good evening, New York. My name is Harry,” said the ridiculously charming superstar — who obviously needed no introduction — to one of many deafening roars. “Please feel free to be who you always wanted to be in this room tonight.”

In that moment, you could feel the Cult of Harry.
