Harry Styles cleaned up at the Grammy Awards last night, walking away with two huge gongs - Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album – for his record Harry's House.
The 29-year-old star rocked the red carpet in a low cut sleeveless Swarovski jumpsuit, stealing attention and headline the world over before he’d even won an award.
And the singer’s success at the 65th annual edition of the awards ceremony didn’t go unnoticed by his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.
Liam, who’s enjoyed his own musical success since the band broke up in 2015, reached out to Harry with a very unlikely post following his old pal’s victory.
Taking to his Instagram, the dad-of-one posted a black and white snap of Harry as he gazed down proudly at his Grammy.
Liam took the opportunity to write Harry a sentimental note in the caption to congratulate him.
The Strip That Down singer wrote: “Wow… this image is really something to wake up to and when you write music like you do Harry you deserve every millisecond of that moment looking down smiling at the trophy you’ve earned.
“God bless you brother congratulations.” [sic]
Fans rushed to the comments to express their surprise at the note, with one telling fellow followers they were “ugly crying”.
“Today is unreal. Idk how to count today as normal anymore,” another said in disbelief.
“THIS CANT BE REAL. IM SCREAMING,” a third said, while a fourth commented: “THIS FEELS LIKE A DREAM.”
The post came as a huge shock to fans after the bandmates went their separate ways and pursued solo careers.
Rumours of bad blood between the boys have been rife but it seems all that has been put behind them as Liam threw his support behind his friend.
Liam recently lifted the lid on his relationships with his former bandmates on the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steve Bartlett.
Liam revealed: “I get on great with most of them. I had a call from Harry the other day. I love him to pieces. Louis I speak to a lot. We have always had a close connection.”
Harry stole the show last night at the Grammy’s, turning heads with a number of flamboyant outfits on for the red carpet and performing on stage.
The platinum-selling solo star, who has been on the road with his Love On Tour show since 2021, put on a top performance on the night and gave an emotional speech after receiving the award from fans. He told the audience to remember "there is no such thing as best" in music.
