Harry Styles was spotted making a quick arrival at his latest New York City concert on Saturday, dressed in his familiar off-duty shorts look, before later sparking a buzz onstage with a playful reference to ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s Madison Square Garden wedding.
The 32-year-old pop star is currently performing a New York residency as part of his Together, Together tour, with Saturday’s stop bringing him back to the world-famous Madison Square Garden.
Keeping his pre-show style relaxed, Harry put his bronzed, gym-honed legs on display in black shorts, pairing them with a bright orange T-shirt and a jumper casually draped across his shoulders.
Once inside the arena later that night, the singer appeared to make a light-hearted nod to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. Harry and Taylor famously dated for a brief period, from late 2012 until January 2013.
“We’re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks,” Harry told the crowd in fan-recorded footage captured near the end of the show.
With a grin, he added: “And they also do weddings.”

The comment comes after it was reported that Harry was allegedly invited to the wedding on July 3 but declined the invitation.
He was unable to attend because he had a show in London that night amid his concert tour at the time.
His fiancée Zoe Kravitz was in attendance at the couple’s wedding, however. Zoe and Taylor have been longtime friends.
While it has been around 13 years since their high-profile fling, Harry and Taylor now appear to be on friendly terms.
It comes after earlier this week Harry jokingly took a swipe at the body odour of his audience as he kicked off night two of his 30-date Madison Square Garden residency in New York.
The star’s epic run at the iconic 20,000-capacity venue began on August 26, with performances to take place on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday throughout.
And proving how much banter he had with his adoring fans, Harry quipped: ‘Smell those New York City armpits!’ as he requested they put their hands in the air during a breathing exercise.
In a clip shared to TikTok on Friday, the singer was seen urging his fans to take a deep inhale before he then made the quip about their armpits, leading to giggles from the audience.
He showed off his toned and tanned legs in a pair of black shorts which he teamed with an orange T-shirt and jumper over his shoulders

‘We’re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks,’ Harry said in fan-taken footage from his show. ‘And they also do weddings’, he cheekily added
Taking a moment to pause, the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker, who was dressed to impress in a mustard sweater, black blazer and yellow trousers, then shared a positive message.
He said into his mic: ‘Already, we’re gonna dance today and tonight we’re gonna sing together, we’re gonna share this moment together.’
Fans were quick to comment on the video, which was captioned: ‘No way Harry said this,’ with some shocked at his words while others saw the funny side.
They penned: ‘When he did Love On Tour in LA he thought the pit was so stinky that he gave out free deodorant from Dove. LOL’
‘The way the arms went down in the back’; ‘What’s his problem’
‘Nice way to insult your fans’; ‘He did this in Amsterdam too, it’s actually so funny lmao’
‘The way I’m bringing extra deodorant with me because I’m gonna be DANCING.’
