Harry Styles' Footsteps During His Long Hiatus
Harry Styles concluded his record-breaking global tour, "Love On Tour," on July 22, 2023, in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The tour spanned 22 months and included 169 shows, supporting his albums Fine Line (2019) and Harry's House (2022).
Since the tour ended, Styles has largely stayed out of the public eye, with few public appearances, interviews, or new music releases.
His last official song release was "Satellite" in May 2023, making his return to YouTube particularly significant.
During his hiatus, Harry Styles reportedly spent time in London and Rome, attending football matches, golf tournaments, and fashion shows.
He also focused on his lifestyle brand, 'Pleasing,' and collaborated with JW Anderson.
One of his rare public appearances was at the funeral of his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne, in November 2024.
Fourth Album Speculation and Upcoming Tour
This surprise video and website release comes after months of speculation that Harry Styles is preparing his fourth studio album, which fans have dubbed "HS4."
Styles reportedly began working on new material in late 2022 and was spotted entering RAK Music Studios in London in March 2024.
Ed Sheeran has also reportedly heard part of the upcoming album and called it "quality."
While no official tour dates have been announced, there are rumors of a possible 2026 tour or a 35-show residency at Las Vegas' Sphere in late fall 2025.
An Australian radio show even reported that Styles has completed his next album and is planning a 2026 tour.
There are also rumors that Harry Styles could headline Glastonbury in 2027, after a rumored appearance at Glastonbury 2025 failed to materialize.
Harry Styles' Acting Projects and Personal Life
In addition to his music career, Harry Styles also has an upcoming film project titled "Faster, Cheaper, Better," in which he will play one of the main characters.
The name of his role has not been revealed, but he will star opposite Sharleen Shayan.
In August 2022, Styles stated that he had no plans to take on any new film roles in the near future, as he found the "waiting" process of acting less fulfilling than making music.
However, he remains open to projects that interest him.
On the personal front, Harry Styles is rumored to be engaged to Zoe Kravitz, with rumors circulating since August 2024.
This speculation intensified after they were spotted together over Christmas 2025, and Zoe was seen wearing a gold ring on her ring finger while vacationing in Rome.
