Harry Styles was caught on camera celebrating England's World Cup victory over DR Congo moments before taking the stage at Wembley Stadium on July 1, 2026. The footage, shared on X, showed the singer punching the air and beaming with excitement, leading fans to comment that his 'true priority' was the football match rather than his upcoming performance.
Fan Reactions to the Candid Moment
One fan posted: 'HARRY CELEBRATING THAT ENGLAND WON LOOK HOW HAPPY, HE’S GONNA BE SO ANNOYING ABOUT IT DURING THE SHOW,' accompanied by three sobbing emojis. Others joked that his reaction looked like he had 'just accepted a marriage proposal.'
Despite initial concerns that his heart wasn't in the show, Styles delivered an energetic performance as part of his Together, Together tour, supported by Shania Twain. The tour promotes his latest album, 'Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally,' and includes One Direction hits.
England's World Cup Victory
England beat DR Congo in a tense match, with DR Congo scoring within the seventh minute. Harry Kane equalised and then scored a second goal to secure the win. The 5pm kick-off allowed Styles to watch the game before his evening show.
England is scheduled to face Mexico on July 6, 2026, in an early morning match, prompting fans to discuss viewing arrangements as many pubs will be closed.
Harry Styles' Personal Life
Styles is engaged to Zoe Kravitz, who was spotted dancing in the pit with concert-goers during his Wembley performance.
