Harry is always blowing us away with his raw talent and magnetic stage presence, making his world tour the place to be this fall. During his show in Nashville, he continued to surprise us with an unexpected cover of Little Big Town’s hit ‘Girl Crush.’

Harry’s never been shy about his love for country music, expressing his support for the genre’s artists often—he even invited country singer, Cam, to open up his Nashville show. Kacey Musgraves also has a coveted spot as one of his opening acts for his second leg of his world tour beginning in March.

It definitely had fans up in arms—certainly not expecting the singer to cover the track. Some fandom reactions are nothing short of absolutely hilarious and saying exactly what we’re all thinking.

Girl crush it’s such an iconic song and Harry low key sounded better than the original version I like dying at 7am

Harry made Nashville the place to be, making The Ryman a safe space for everyone. After some fans’ pride flags were confiscated by security earlier at the venue, Harry was adamant on keeping them around—eventually bringing out the flag before performing ‘Sign of the Times.’ He even had the crowd embrace one another in typical Harry Styles fashion.

Maintaining his theme of “Treat People With Kindness,” Harry made it relevant that night that we should all accept one another, even if it’s someone we don’t know. Along with his message of acceptance, Harry also made the show one of the most fun of the tour so far—cracking jokes about his fan-favorite track ‘Kiwi.’

Harry always sets the bar high for each live performance, proving time and time again he’s a star that’s here to stay. Overall, we’re extremely jealous of anyone who was able to go to Harry’s enthusiastic show in Nashville—it’s surely an event that will be memorable to fans for quite a long time.
