Broader Implications and Future Outlook
He’s made himself at home at MSG in the past, as reflected with his banner hanging in the rafters when he played 15 shows at the venue back in 2022. “I was told a story when I got here today.
I had the great privilege of playing this building for the first time when I was 18 years old,” the Grammy winner stated, referencing One Direction’s debut at MSG in 2012.
“There’s a gentleman who was working here then, who shared with me that when I got out of the car that day, I kissed the floor and said, ‘I’ve made it to Madison Square Garden!’” The biggest reaction from the crowd came when “Kiwi” played from Styles’ solo debut. From the pit, The Hollywood Reporter saw one concertgoer scream, “Oh my God!” before falling to the floor.

“Dolly, we love you. Thank you so much.” Parton’s 1974 song “I Will Always Love You” then played as audience members held up their phone flashlights. Barrymore and King were also spotted singing along, with Barrymore appearing to get teary-eyed.
