One Direction fans are convinced Harry Styles and Niall Horan have collaborated on Horan’s upcoming album; The Show.
With news of Horan’s new album, fans are taking to TikTok and Twitter to share their theories – and they’re convincing.
The One Direction members, along with Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, have not worked together since their split in 2016.
But when Styles won the Brit award for Artist of the Year, he thanked his former bandmates and said: “I wouldn’t be here without you, either. Thank you so much.”
This, along with fortuitous tour dates and mysterious music videos, have fans convinced that the former bandmates have been up to something.
Harry’s Ireland tour date
Harry Styles is currently on tour and is set to return to Europe in May.
He will be playing at Slane Castle, in Ireland, on June 10, a day after Horan’s album is set to be released. The venue is around an hour away from Horan’s hometown of Mullingar.
This has fans thinking that Horan could make an appearance at Styles’ concert to celebrate his album launch.
Mystery music video pictures and sky-blue candles
In May 2022, pictures emerged of Harry Styles dressed in a yellow, feathered costume, and reports said he was seen filming at a circus.
Fans assumed Styles was filming a video for a Harry’s House song, but nearly a year later, the music video hasn’t materialised.

Now, eagle-eyed fans say they have a reason to believe Styles was filming a video for a Niall Horan song.
In the pictures of the circus, there appears to be a box featuring an image of a cloudy blue sky – suspiciously similar to candles Horan has been using to promote his song Heaven.
THIS IS MY FAV PIC 🤍😭

The title of Horan’s upcoming album, The Show, has also made fans believe Styles’ circus performance could be linked.
Harry’s House doors
When Styles was promoting his album Harry’s House, he shared a series of doors with various images behind them.
One of the images was of Joshua Tree – where Horan has said he wrote songs for the album.
So hum with all the Narry weird connections do you also think about the fact Niall recorded some songs in Joshua Tree and Harry posted a Joshua Tree pic behind the door ? pic.twitter.com/2PagO2AvyP

Fans also believe a striped image came from a photo of Niall wearing a stripey shirt.

At the moment, these are just fan theories, and as convincing as they are, neither Styles nor Horan have suggested that they have worked together.
So, for now, Directioners can live in hope that they may see their faves back together one day.
