Harry Styles surprised fans at Madison Square Garden on October 30 by recreating his 2010 television audition during his annual Harryween concert.
According to NME, the performance took place during the first of two Harryween dates in New York City, which served as the penultimate night of his 30-show residency at the venue. Styles initially took the stage dressed as Elvis Presley, sporting a white jumpsuit, cape, and gold sunglasses. His backing band and dancers joined in on the holiday theme by wearing outfits inspired by various eras of Styles' career, including his looks from Coachella, the Met Gala, and the Grammys.
Styles later changed out of the Presley suit and stepped onstage dressed as his 16-year-old self from his original audition on The X Factor. He then delivered a performance of Stevie Wonder's classic track "Isn't She Lovely," the song he performed before judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, and Louis Walsh when launching his music career.
During the throwback segment, Styles also referenced his original televised appearance, telling the crowd at Madison Square Garden, "I work in a bakery." The lighthearted remark recalled his pre-fame days as a teenager living in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, before his career took off on the global stage.
