Earlier this month, speculation spread online about Harry Styles taking over the Sphere in Las Vegas for a 35-date residency. The initial report, published by the New York Post, claimed the singer was in the final stages of negotiations for the high-profile stint, Billboard reports. However, the buzz didn’t just catch fans off guard—it also surprised the venue itself.
“To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere,” a spokesperson for the venue confirmed to Billboard, quickly dispelling the rumors.
Fans Ride the Emotional Rollercoaster
The mere thought of Styles making a grand return to the stage set social media ablaze. Fans flooded timelines with memes, stamping his face with the word “Employed” in celebration of what seemed like his big comeback. Debates erupted over who would attend the most shows, as anticipation reached a fever pitch. But just as quickly as the excitement soared, it came crashing down. When The Sun debunked the report on March 8, fandom members revised their memes—this time branding him “Unemployed.”
