View From the Ground – HSLOT MSG Night 2 – 8/21/22
After this week of Rolling Stone articles and revelations about the director of DWD, I realized I forgot to write about Sunday at Madison Square Garden. It was amazing.
Simone (@tomlinson19913) and I got to Penn Station mid afternoon and met up with Tha (@rainbwsunflower) and Katie (@BostonKatie617) and Ash (@peaceringlove28) for dinner. The biggest drama to that point was the perception that MSG wasn’t allowing flags into the venue. We were all on a mission to get flags into the building, even though we knew that we’d never be able to get them to the stage for H. It was fun tracking them down, though.
Party City across from MSG didn’t have a ton, but I found a cape, and some streamers. Simone made me put back the headband and the sunglasses. 😊
I’d never been to MSG before and since we had seats, there was no need to queue up early. We’d gotten our merch in the afternoon from the pop-up, but sadly we were informed that the lavender hoodies would only be available at the show after 7 p.m., so we found ourselves in the merch line even though we’d tried to avoid it.
(my only beef with Harry that night is that the lavender hoodies are apparently so exclusive, that even though we waited in line, the only one left at the merch table we were at was a small.)
Once we’d gotten our drinks and found our seats, Blood Orange was already on stage. They sounded great. MSG is a gorgeous arena. It has character that’s usually missing in a large venue like that.
We weren’t sure what to expect from Harry after the drama about no flags the night before. While we’d been waiting in line, though, MSG put out a statement that the artist himself welcomed flags. We saw several, including my cape which I draped around my arm to wave.
Harry didn’t disappoint. He talked about burning his mouth on soup just before the show. He grabbed a flag from a fan and danced with it during Treat People w/ Kindness. His first ever “Golf Dad Cam” was a hit. And the piece de resistance was that he sang Medicine, which we’d not heard live the last time we saw him in October 2021.
You can find other recaps of the show in other places, but I wanted to reflect on a few of my thoughts before they got too far away. Harry is lovely. He puts on a great show.
Before we left the next day, the Rolling Stone article dropped, and the vibe online changed. I’m so glad we got to see him that Sunday night, night 2 of MSG Love on Tour.
I'm sorry, not to be an asshole or anything but yeah it's a bit obvious if you've never worked at live events before being a touring photographer with an artist, there's definitely a difference between one who is experienced vastly and another which is not, yes include blur and out of focus motion to capture the essence, the energy, the emotion of a room when it's pure chaos but there's a difference of how that should be approached vs every photo having no eye catching elements, too much motion blur and not focussed on the subject at all.
yndaily Y/n just finished up her second to last show on the HSLOT stage. Harry and the band were spotted backstage watching her preform. It appeared that Harry and Sarah were getting emotional while watching her finish up her set! Y/n will play her last show with Harry on Sunday! 🥹

yourusername HSLOT has been surreal. I’m so glad that I was able to be part of such a lovely(no pun intended) journey with the most kind, loving(again, no pun intended) people ever. More so, I’m so glad so many people were able to find my music from this amazing opportunity and relate to what I wrote about. I love you. I can’t believe this is happening. I want to thank you so much I’ll never stop thanking you guys!🥹🥹💕

HSdaily Harry came on at the very end of y/n’s set today. She closed the show with her song, “21” off of her first EP. She did not play “Long Sleeves” tonight, per request of Harry, who asked to play “21” specifically.

yourusername aaaaaaand that’s a wrap! Thanks to @harrystyles for giving me the chance to shine ✨ with you and your band for such a short, yet sweet time. I love every single one of you like my family. You’ve helped me navigate my life, my career, and my album so much in just two months. It’s so crazy to me what you guys can do for a person. I love you, I’m crazy for the HSLOT crew. ✨✨🥰

harrystyles I’d have you back, but you already said no!
|yourusername don’t put salt in the wound, Harold.
|ynrryfan02 Being in love must be nice.
lizzobeeating I’m so proud of you! It feels like yesterday you were coming to tour with me!
|yourusername I’ve never toured with you Lizzo. 😭😭
PS: Time information is based on the time set for the event to begin on the ticket selling websites. On ticketmaster it’s usually set the time the doors are open which is typically two hours early than the main show, so the guesses are based on that. Some might be innacurate and we'll update once we know.
a/n: i wrote this after i couldn’t get tickets to see hslot (thx ticketmaster!). this is a love on tour, harry styles au romance about a girl with anxiety meeting someone who helps her become who she is. with the band follows oc izzy, 24, as she finally breaks away from her parents and goes to a concert that changes her life. izzy = little miss obsessed with love but doesn't believe it will happen to her.
this is my first story post to tumblr, so you’re my first readers. thanks for reading. usual copyright stuff: this is my original work, do not repost without permission. but please reblog. let me know if you see any more copies on wattpad :)
prologue sometimes i think love is for other people
Honestly I didnt even know who Olivia was until she was linked to Harry, I havent seen any of her works and frankly dont want to see it. I dont hate her becoz she is dating Harry( obv not irl) but she is just super annoying. She is sucha wannabe. I can feel her trying super hard to be young and blend in with his friends and blend in with the crowd but its fake. I dont have any problem with her being 10 years older than him but with coming of age you kinda become mature and stop jumping around like a 5 year toddler trying to get attention in his concerts. I saw couple of her videos of skin routines and stuff so that I can atleast get an idea of her personality and I would like to believe i am a pretty good judge of character. She wants ATTENTION s badly that she will go to any limits to get that. I saw her dragging her kids down to harry's concerts. When they came to HSLOT 21 they looked happy coz for them it was night out but i guess they caught on with what was happening and you can see it on their face they dont like it. I guess she doesnt realise that nobody is going to remember her after this stunt is over and she is stretching the band to threshold. Its affecting her and only her. She doesnt care about the movie, she only cares about establishing herself as a badass director ( I mean she is bad and she is an ass, i dont know about badass tho) and she actually cared about the movie she would've promoted the movie more than herself and let H and flo do the stunt. Nobody is even talking about Flo and she is the lead!!! H just have a 15 min role but he is being glamorized for no reason whatsoever. I mean i am huge fan of him but this movie belongs to Flo and not him.
hey loves! after the past few hslot shows, i'm desperate to get back into rping once again. i've been roleplaying on and off for over ten years (wow i feel old)
i prefer fxm plots and tend to do doubles, but feel free to message with your preference. i like dark and dramatic themes in plots. i'm pretty open as well so please don't shy away from suggesting ideas
my main interest is obviously harry styles, so if you're happy to rp as my man, please hit me up on here!
