HARRY EDWARD STYLES, a 29-year-old Wet Leg superfan from Redditch, England who has spent the past few years pursuing a music career including a six-year stint in the now-defunct pop group One Direction, fulfilled his lifelong dream on Tuesday when the cheeky duo from the Isle of Wight decided to share a stage with him on a date of their world tour, in Oeiras, Portugal.
Wet Leg, which rose to prominence in the past year with their self-titled debut, a Number One hit in their native U.K., allowed squire Styles to play guitar and sing backup vocals on their hit “Wet Dream.” The band members, singer-guitarist Rhian Teasdale and guitarist-singer Hester Chambers, looked pleased that Styles knew the song’s lyrics by heart, not even flinching when singing provocative words like “touching yourself.”
Styles, who apparently had been following the band around from gig to gig, even took a moment while he was at the mic to profess his ardor for Wet Leg. “It has been the most wonderful tour … to get to watch them play every night, they’re one of my favorite bands,” he told the crowd. When the performance was done, Teasdale and Chambers looked as though they appreciated Mr. Styles’ support, embracing him in a hug, visibly impressed by the young fan’s talent and promise. For some extra encouragement, they even learned and sang one of his songs, “Daylight.”
that post is getting long enough but i have to add this like. less than half of the top tags in the taylor swift tag are her and another person. Her long term 7 year relationship that the entire fanbase seemed completely obsessed with has less than 100 fics! Its outpaced by both lesbian /reader tags!
“She’s a huge part of the album,” he said. “Sometimes you want to tip the hat, and sometimes you just want to give them the whole cap … and hope they know it’s just for them.”
