"New York, MSG, how did we get here? I feel really fucking emotional since I've come out, to be honest. I'm going to start this show how I start every single show and I'm going to say a massive, massive thank you for bringing me to you, not only to you, to MS fucking G. Thank you so, so much! It is an honor to play for my fans every night but tonight feels important, thank you for making this happen for me, we did it together. I fucking love youse. You'll get a little bit more from me in the next speech, but I am fucking shitting it right now, to be real."

Louis sang SIDE BY SIDE for the first time!

"MSG, how are we doing? I'm not going to lie, I'm through the hardest bit now because, fucking hell, I was a bag of nerves, honestly. We're here now, we're here now, right. I've got a few things I want to say, maybe I'll sit down, feels like one of them chats, don't it? Obviously, on a day like today, you know, I've been reflecting, I've been thinking about my whole career. This is an important night for me, it's an important night for us as a collective, you know. I can remember distinctly, the year before I got put in the band, I actually also auditioned on The X Factor, right? And I remember distinctly— I was 17, I remember distinctly coming back and I got a "no", I wasn't going to get through, and I remember being in the car with my mom, we stopped off, grabbed a Subway, that was lovely, and I was just bawling my eyes out, being like, 'I fucking really want this, I really, really want this.' And you know, at that age, it's kind of difficult to deal with that kind of shit, definitely. But luckily, you know, I had a good support and good advice around me and I went again, and then luckily I got put in the band. And I fucking cherished every single year we had in the band, that was incredible. And you know, then there was a time where that wasn't a thing anymore, whatever we called it, fucking "hiatus" or whatever. So I was kind of at that same place again where I was like 'I really fucking want this, I don't want to let this go, you know, I fucking love doing what I do.' But I couldn't really, maybe to my own detriment, I couldn't really see the finish line like that, or even see the light at the end of the tunnel like that, I was kind of worried that that might be the end for me. And I want you guys to know, you know, I say a version of this every night, this is a longer form of it, but I simply would not have the fucking confidence to get up and play at a place like MSG. But I feel really, really, really fucking proud of what we've created, and tonight is just, is the ultimate of that idea. So I never really feel like I can quite articulate just how much you've done for me. But honestly, tonight is one of those moments, I want everyone to leave here tonight, right... if you've seen my first tour, I want everyone to leave here tonight to take that, you know. You are responsible. I guess I played a part too, we did it together, we did it together. Yeah, I'll forever grateful for nights like tonight, it's really, really special, so thank you so much. But anyway, to top things off, I did want to say, 'Side by Side' is for you. Like, I wrote that song... I actually wanted to say this before the song, but I crept up on my own emotional about tonight. But that song's for you, listen to the words, feel it. I fucking love you, we've been doing it for a long time now, some of us, so thank you for everything, thank you for all of the passion you guys give me, I fucking love you. Right... before I fucking choke up."

"How are we doing? I think I've finally come down to earth. What a fucking show. What a fucking crowd. I am so grateful, so thankful tonight. This is the kind of fanbase that makes me feel like I could conquer the fucking world and I love youse. Normally, these big shows or in the past occasionally can get the better of me but I have enjoyed every second of tonight and I've got all of you to thank for. I had a lump in my throat maybe three or four times but I've done well, I've done well. I've kept it together."

"New York, MSG, I love every single one of you. Thank you so much for tonight, I will never fucking forget it. You did this for me. Don't forget that. I love every single one of you. And don't forget, It's coming home!"

Part 1, part 2 and 3 by FangirlLT369 on Twitter.

oh my god i found a video of when i was with louis i’m crying so much, look at his face when he sees the flag in my hand and how soft he is when he’s signing it and his face after i’m so fucking happy LOOK AT HIM

which of larry is sbb and which is rbb and why

is there a masterpost on this

i feel like i read one once when i first got into the fandom a couple yrs ago lol

ok thanks 😊

The belief is that Louis is RBB and Harry is SBB, mainly due to the certificate written out to RBB for “Being Fabulous” that was CLEARLY Harry’s handwriting.

it is was most interpreted that Louis is SBB and Harry is RBB, going by what the bears were wearing and their countless accessories.

Also, often the bears had blue and green stickers with facial expressions on the soles of their feet or on their accessories and we all know which colour is steadfastly attributed to whom, so the we would attribute the displayed emotions to each of their moods. Often they also had red stickers. As far as I remember, for those red stickers the theories ranged from them symbolising either both of their combined moods, or their management's mood or the rest of the band's mood. I'm sure there were even more interpretations that I can't remember right now.

Let me give some examples:

There were also more bears; for example on two nights there was also a brown bear mounted with them. In Glasgow on 10 July 2015, it was dressed as a pastor with a Holy Bible (which is interesting, considering the timeline...) and that bear wore a red happy smiley sticker on its sole. RBB wore a kilt. (and later in April 2018, Harry first wore a kilt for real)

On 25 Aug 2015 in Milwaukee, SBB had a baby milk bottle (babygate...), a skateboard, and a red sad sticker and a blue smiley face sticker on its shoe. RBB had a banana in front of it and a very expensive looking watch. Louis has never publicly worn a watch, only Harry.

^ another post about it from August 2015 aaand another post about it

You can't see it too well, but on 26 July 2015 in Minneapolis, RBB had a mic and a guitar and the tape on the mic was Harry's green; also SBB wore Vans-styles shoes, the type that Louis exclusively wore in 2015:

On 3 Oct 2015 in Manchester, RBB and SBB rocked up in a Jeep and SBB was the passenger princess. And well, we know what Louis prefers to be 😌

RBB famously wore a wedding dress from the 24 Sep 2015 show in London where they had the "Love, Larry" photo frame with them - something that was incredibly huge for us, because it confirmed those bears were in fact supposed to be Harry and Louis and that even in 2015, after everything, they acknowledged their "ship"name. And portraying them as bride and groom was even bigger.

Harry also talked about since the very early days, that he wishes he could grow a thick moustache - and RBB had a thick moustache almost right from the start; while SBB first didn't have a beard at all (no pun intended) and then only always a really small one. And then Harry literally turned into RBB:

In the sense "i think we kinda share that really", they both wore the rainbow tutu quite often. 😌🌈

Also, here's the certificate from 29 Oct 2015 in Harry's handwriting that Kim mentioned was this one:

Here is a fantastic resource (searchable, too!) in which you can see almost all outfits, accessories, etc. the bears ever wore and where and when. Just click on the props etc. to see when and where the bears wore/had them.

Here is also a cute post by @pop-punklouis with their favourite RBB & SBB anecdotes

conclusion:

So, I hope this helped a little 🥰 I personally think that sometimes it wasn't laid in concrete who was supposed to be who, and that they might've just wanted to be very playful and free with it. The clothing and accessories did speak a very clear language, so very often it was clear that RBB was supposed to portray Harry and SBB was supposed to portray Louis. But in the end, who knows what those bears might have meant to them and their freedom of expression? Who knows if they perhaps wanted to leave it ambiguous who is who on what night? Who knows if that was part of them exploring their identities? (thinking about both of the bears wearing a rainbow tutu pretty often and the Halloween show where SBB wore a red dress and RBB was in a vampire costume) I know they will probably never talk to us about those bears, but I remain utterly curious about all the thought processes behind all those carefully and deliberately curated displays. 💕🌈

That’s true! So if that really is a new tattoo, I wonder when he found the time to get it done, as they’ve written that he was awarded backstage at his record-breaking twelfth Wembley Stadium show. And he definitely has something on his hand next to the cross tattoo in that picture, although in another photo he doesn’t have anything there. It’s weird! 👀

[in reference to this]

Harry being awarded with the Blue Peter Gold Badge in recognition of his musical career and for inspiring young people to be creative and have the confidence to follow their dreams. He received the badge backstage at his recording-breaking Wembley Stadium show.

More info here.

Is it a new tattoo?

it definitely wasn't there in the video, yet, so if he wasn't tattooed in between the video and the pictures with the presenter of the badge, then I personally think it's just a cute little note to self or something written in pen.

I need to exorcise these thoughts out of my brain, because although the topic has passed, these thoughts have been squatting in my noggin for the past 2 days, so here goes --

Harry was last (and, afaik, also first) reported at Berghain in Spring of 2025, with multiple IG stories and TikToks confirming it - some of them while those people were still at the club. Since photos and videos aren’t allowed to be taken in that club, there were obviously no pap or creeper pics + vids, but we got a couple of distinctive descriptions of what he was wearing (sweater on his head, that adorable dork), what people talked about with him, the way he danced, etc. Plus, afterwards, we saw social media activity of him interacting with Berghain DJs via his finsta.

Now, there was 1 single IG story that popped up last Sunday (the day of the Berlin marathon) claiming someone had watched Harry and Zoe “passionately making out” at Berghain, followed by one nearly identical claim being made the next day (not even publicly). And that’s it. No flood of independent stories like when he actually was there this Spring.

Also, just the notion that he’d go dance for a few hours before or after a 42 km marathon that he's trained for for over a year and that he's had a very ambitious goal for, to then publicly make out with a stunt partner in a club where no one can even take photos, so they couldn't even have used that stunt deliverable, it's all frankly ridiculous. And again, if he’d actually been there, we’d have seen several real-time posts, not just two vague claims.

One of those two people even insisted he’s a "regular" at Berghain, which is funny, because when Harry truly frequents a club, we hear about it - like with The Box.

I promise you that a lot of the clientele that goes to Berghain would tell the world and their Mom when Harry's there, while he's there. I know this for various reasons, but what easily speaks most for that fact is simply the past behaviour we have seen.

Obviously there are clubs and bars worldwide he (and Lou) can go to without being exposed. Within their community, too. But Berghain is absolutely not that club and I have no doubt that H knows that.

And don't get me wrong, Berghain itself is a great club and absolutely worth supporting and visiting. It's steadfastly leftist, antifascist, queer & trans-inclusive, and treats its staff and performers very well; plus the adjacent Lab is a vital, safe space for queer men to have sex.

Whenever Harry actually wants to go have a date with his boyfriend, Techno, again, I could imagine he'll possibly visit Berghain again.

I don't mean anything against you at all, love. But people really need to let this kind of theory die. As the iconic post goes, "I'm not even in this fandom, and I've seen this guy come out 50 times."

Harry has done every possible gay thing short of sucking a dick in public that he could do, and people still think he's straight (or bi, but obviously only dates women 🙄) because he hasn't proclaimed on the cover of People magazine that he's a raging homosexual.

Please watch the edit I made, because it will show you everything! But if you don't have time for that right now, here is a breakdown:

Firstly, the crowd in the inner and outer pits were FULL of rainbow flags, balloons, fans, etc. - a truly beautiful sight 🥹💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

There were 4 very visible 🏳️‍🌈 rainbow flags on the catwalk for H, and he did pick up the 4th one after all...

At the start of the song, a kind of blue-ish thick-ish flag/quilt(?) was thrown directly in front of him and he stopped for a sec..

..and said something into the direction of where it was thrown from, then kept walking.

He passed the 1st 🏳️‍🌈flag, which was already lying on the catwalk..

..and then also passed the 2nd 🏳️‍🌈flag, which was also on the bridge for him..

..he danced and jumped on there for a while..

..but he didn't look at the flag.

Then he kept walking and a 3rd 🏳️‍🌈flag was thrown to him, almost hitting him..

..but he was faster and it landed behind him. He did look back and right at it for a second, though:

He kept walking. Then, a 4th 🏳️‍🌈flag was thrown onto the catwalk:

At first he didn't look at it, but as he steered left and passed it, he bent down and picked it up..

..and handed the flag to one of his dancers..

..then turned around for a second to make sure they really had it and then kept walking. His dancer danced with the big 🏳️‍🌈flag held up high, while H looked at them from afar:

The 2nd dancer at the front then picked up the rainbow flag that had been thrown to Harry earlier, and now both dancers had big 🏳️‍🌈flags:

Harry kept walking and engaging with the crowd, while his dancers kept happily dancing with the 🏳️‍🌈flags:

While Harry was still prancing on the far left catwalk, his dancers had arrived in the middle of the catwalk and were still dancing with the 🏳️‍🌈flags:

Then Harry turned and skipped towards them at the center of the catwalk to join the dance circle that had formed around the first 🏳️‍🌈flag. Then the 2nd dancer carefully laid the 2nd 🏳️‍🌈flag down in the center of their dance circle..

..and a few seconds after, they ended the song like this:

-

I think Harry's behaviour during TPWK that night has to be viewed in context:

He didn't run with 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️flags at every single show of his current tour and there were (and will be) shows where despite them being offered to him, he didn't pick them up.

What is also very important to consider is how that entire day had already played out before this song and what H knew was going to happen later on. He held a 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈London Pride-themed pre-show with queer and trans DJs, drags queens & kings and loads of pride flags for his crowd, while he himself was standing in a corner on the sidelines, next to the door to backstage, in a bathrobe and slides.. just quietly taking it all in and taking photos/videos of it, but otherwise not reacting -- no dancing, no "joining in" -- instead only a quiet spectator from the "shadows" to something he organised for his community. In a perfect world, he would've gotten to participate 🥺.. and then one of his closest friends Ale came up to him, hugged him tight and left Harry be, because I imagine he knew that's what Harry needed. (this post describes it all perfectly)

Harry verbally acknowledged London Pride when he introduced himself to the crowd. The only colours H wore that night were blue and green💙💚, he thanked the other boys of One Direction by name (meaning it was also the first time in over 3 years that he said Louis' name out loud in public), he played Sweet Creature (a song he wrote for Louis) for the first time in forever, Gemma came on stage to congratulate him on breaking the record of most consecutive shows played at Wembley; a record that had already made him tear up at the end of the prior (11th) show.

I think that H not picking up any flag for himself that night was a conscious decision! That's clear from how many flags he passed; even one that was directly thrown at him. He only picked up the 4th flag when he saw the dancers coming his way and then handed it to one of them. Perhaps that was agreed upon beforehand; perhaps H knew that his dancers are queer and wanted to let them have their own kind of "rainbow flag run" that night - it wouldn't be the first time -- one of his dancers picked up a bi pride flag to dance with during the Amsterdam residency. Perhaps H felt like it was 'not his place' that night, perhaps he wanted to boldly display his current state in his & our community: admiring it from afar/from the outside, because he's still closeted; not being allowed to openly join in, yet. Or perhaps him not running with a flag himself that night compensated for the extraordinarily LOUD queer & trans celebration during his pre-show, attaching himself publicly to London Pride - the biggest Pride protest of the city. Perhaps he was told an ultimatum of 'you can either have this or that'... but whatever it was, him not running with a 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️flag was not a coincidence.

If someone else has other/more thoughts on this, feel free to add them. 💖
