Harry Styles Reflects On His Breakthrough Year: “2022 Transformed My Life”

On Thursday (Dec. 15), Harry Styles took to social media to reflect on everything he’s accomplished in the previous year.
“2022 changed my life,” he wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of himself lounging on an empty stadium stage during his global Love on Tour tour. “I can’t begin to thank all of you who supported me through it, I’ll never forget it. I wish you a happy and peaceful end to the year. I adore you all. We’ll see you next year. H.”

Indeed, from his aforementioned tour across North America, Europe, and South America — including a historic 15-date takeover of New York City’s Madison Square Garden — to the release of his third solo album Harry’s House, the former One Direction member has had quite the year.

“As It Was,” the lead single from that studio set, also became one of the year’s biggest pop behemoths, spending 15 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and setting a new record for most weeks at No. 1 by a song with only one credited artist.

Styles also made the transition to movie stardom this year, starring in not one, but two major motion pictures: (now-ex-)girlfriend Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, in which he co-starred with Florence Pugh, and LGBTQ+ historical drama My Policeman. All of this on top of headlining Coachella, receiving six more Grammy nominations, registering tens of thousands of new voters for the November midterm elections, and other accomplishments.
