Pop Stars – May 2023

Anticipation is building among European Harry Styles fans as they await the superstar’s next leg of his Love On Tour. Having already toured the US extensively, and visited other countries such as Australia, the hard-grafting dream boat is due to arrive in Germany on May 13 and the UK on May 22, before playing several nights at the legendary Wembley Stadium in June. If you are planning to see Harry in his adopted hometown of London, we have compiled a handy guide to the places you must visit if you want to walk in his footsteps. Also in this issue, we chat to Dr Louie Dean Valencia who has launched the world’s first ever university course focusing on the work of Harry Styles. Titled “Harry Styles and the Cult of Celebrity: Identity, Internet, and the European Pop Culture”, it’s a unique module at Texas State University where he works. Inspired by this, we decided to run our own special educational course about Harry and remind ourselves how he has used what he learned in English classes when it comes to writing smash hit songs, analyse his chemistry skills in the romance department and admire his keen eye for fashion. Not only that, we meet the Harry lookalike who performed as his idol on TV show Starstruck and celebrate Harry’s greatest career achievements that have made him the world’s biggest male superstar!
