last piece
Harryโs mouth fell slightly ajar when he saw you but he covered it up with a quick cough; the act hurting his chest but at least it was much easier to explain than the truth.
โAre you okay, H?โ You questioned, concern etched on your face as your hand ghosted the door handle of the party you were supposed to attend. You didnโt mind wasting time.
โYeah,โ he shot out, automatically. โI lost my wallet though.โ He followed that by patting his blazer pocket and suit trousers. โHave you seen it?โ
โNo. When did you see it last?โ You asked, your lips pursing slightly. He shrugged in return as you considered the options where he may have lost his gifted leather. โMaybe itโs with the clothes you were wearing before.โ
Harry tilted his head as he took your words into consideration. โCompletely forgot that Iโve changed, like, twice today.โ He muttered, bringing his hand to ruffle his hair.
Though he knew for a fact it wasnโt in any of his clothes. He always thoroughly checked his outfits before and after; just in case he found something odd in them.
How Harry Styles Emerged From Teen Pop Sensation To First-Time GRAMMY Nominee
For British singer/songwriter Harry Styles, 2020 was a career-defining year, bolstered by the December 2019 release of his GRAMMY-nominated sophomore solo album, โFine Lineโ
Though many people might want to write off 2020 as a year that never existed, for others, it was a year of growth, change and even success. For Harry Styles, 2020 was a career-defining year, which is no easy feat when the entire world is shut down. The pandemic left him no choice but to put his world tour plans on pause and strategize a new way to not just promote his sophomore album, Fine Line, released in December 2019, but also keep fansโ attention.
What followed was a bit of a phenomenon.
Styles, who has been a star since his One Direction days, became a bigger star with every passing day. His album went multi-platinum, he got his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single with โWatermelon Sugar,โ he was named Varietyโs 2020 Hitmaker of the Year, he landed his first-ever GRAMMY nominations of his career (Best Pop Solo Performance for โWatermelon Sugar,โ Best Music Video for โAdore Youโ and Best Pop Vocal Album for Fine Line at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show). And the list goes on.
While these accomplishments would add up to a banner year for any artist, what makes it so unique for the British singer is twofold. For one, heโs been in the business for a decade already, gaining fame at just 17 as a member of the huge boy band One Direction. While in the group, which came together in 2010 as part of โThe X-Factor,โ Styles and his bandmates Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik found global success, selling millions of records, performing in sold-out stadiums around the world and winning many awards.
However, despite how massive the band became, they didnโt quite crossover to listeners of all agesโthey had a hard time shaking the boy band label. While their music evolved into a more mature rock sound over the years, they never got to a place where they were wholly appreciated by the public in a way that their fans knew they deserved.
Once the band went on hiatus in 2015, Styles went to work creating his first solo album, Harry Styles. It was released in 2017 to much fanfare (it also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200), but it wasnโt until his second solo album that he really hit his stride. With Fine Line he found his musical voice and shared an album that not only resonated with his core fanbase but also brought him further into the mainstream.
From the first single released off the album (โLights Upโ in October 2019) all the way to the most recent video (โTreat People With Kindnessโ in January 2021), Fine Line has continued to grow. It was with this album that Styles became a household name, disconnected from his boy band roots in a way like never before. Gone are the days where people refer to him as โHarry Styles from One Direction.โ Now Styles stands alone, proud of where he came from but boldly moving forward on his own path.
The even more stunning part of Stylesโ year, though, and the second reason 2020 was so out of this world for him, he largely let his fanbase spread the good word about his art. Fans on social media hosted streaming parties for โWatermelon Sugarโ to ensure it hit Billboardโs No. 1 spot. Theyโve created and sold their own merchandise to advertise his music. As only a dedicated stan army can do, theyโve made sure that every single thing he does goes viral. Even though Styles himself has a limited social media presence, heโs still one of the most noteworthy internet personalities, simply because his fans have kept him there. In a world where social media reigns supreme, he lets his work speak for itself and trusts in his partnership with his fans to help him succeed.
The impact of Fine Line was substantial. Because of it, he is currently in the running for his first three GRAMMYsโBest Pop Vocal Album, Best Music Video for โAdore Youโ and Best Pop Solo Performance for โWatermelon Sugar.โ And the numbers also back up his work. Fine Line is RIAA certified double platinum, has over 4 billion worldwide streams and spawned six songs that cracked the Billboard Top 100 chart.
Before the albumโs release, to promote โAdore You,โ Styles and Columbia Records created a mysterious world called Eroda that trended before anyone even knew it was for a music video. โWatermelon Sugarโ became one of the songs of the pandemic summer after the video dedicated to human touchโwhich has over 194 million views on YouTubeโwas released in May 2020.
Not one to ever let the album get stale, Styles continued to remind listeners of its existence throughout 2020, even though the world had shut down and in-person promo wasnโt an option. Before that, though, Styles caused a buzz as he took double duty on โSaturday Night Liveโ in November 2019 as the host and musical guest, as well as performing in BBC Radio1โs Live Lounge the following month. After a few shows in Los Angeles, London, and New York in late 2019 and early 2020, Styles hunkered down amid COVID and let his music videos do the talking. Aside from โWatermelon Sugar,โ he released a video for โFallingโ in February and โGoldenโ in October. Fans may not have gotten to see Styles on the road in 2020, but he made sure to keep popping up on their screens, including a virtual appearance at iHeart Radioโs Jingle Ball(opens in a new tab) in December, one of his only in 2020.
But 2020 wasnโt only a great year for Stylesโ music, he also graced multiple fashion magazine covers, continued his relationship with Gucci, and even landed a second major movie role, in Olivia Wildeโs upcoming Donโt Worry Darling. Not only was he Vogueโs first man to pose on a cover alone, he did it wearing a dress. Heโs continued to quietly advocate for genderless fashion by wearing what makes him happy, whether itโs fishnets for Beauty Papers or his everyday pearl necklace. Though many rock stars before him pushed similar gender-bending trends, heโs become that person for his generation.
Styles even influenced countless people in lockdown to take up knitting, simply to recreate the J.W. Anderson rainbow patchwork cardigan he wore during a rehearsal for the โTodayโ show in February. After a few fans fumbled through knitting a copycat, the fashion house published a pattern that spread like wildfire. Suddenly TikTok was flooded with people knitting โThe Sweater,โ and fans all over the world showed off their matching rainbow cardigans in their Instagram selfies from home.
As much as the phrase has been bandied about in recent months, it still holds true: Itโs Harry Stylesโ world and weโre all just living in it. Despite all the setbacks and hardships, 2020 defined Styles as an artistโnot just a musician, but a whole artist. It seems inevitable that Styles will only continue to grow his star power as he draws in more fans for this journey. For those devoted fans who have been there for him since he was just a teenager singing โWhat Makes You Beautiful,โ though, his meteoric rise in 2020 just made sense.

sending so much love to everyone who feels like theyโre never chosen as the best friend, as the partner, as the favorite. sending love to all of you who have been treated and felt like second best. sending love to all of you who have felt rejected and unwanted. to all of you who have had to try reallyย hard to fit in because you felt like you never will.ย
you are so loved. you will be seen and heard by the right people. you can trust that you are valuable and not defined by other peopleโs perceptions of you. if someone doesnโt see your worth, it doesnโt mean it isnโt there.

Updated version of an old watercolor of Harry 9.27.20
Itโs hard to admit this but as a family weโre struggling rn. Theres a lot of drama happening regarding my grandads death and how we found out (hisย โfriendโ was the one who was called when he passed, he was the one who collected his belongings, and he was the one who made a post on facebook before any of my family were even awake). Iโm a uni student and because of our financial situation iโm having to use my student loan to pay the funeral fees.
Iโm also offering anyone who donates over ยฃ25 a free canvas painting and to send me a message on my instagram (instagram.con/callalillydesignsx)
Please if anyone could donate or just reblog this post it would help us out so much x
