"This week, Harry Styles finally kicked off the Australian leg of his much
anticipated tour. Fans have been preparing for months, creating handmade
outfits and learning the “boot scoot” – a dance associated on tour with Styles’
song
Treat People With Kindness.
As one of the world’s biggest pop stars, the ex-One Direction singer has
amassed millions of fans, referred to as “Harries”.
You’d be hard pressed to find an article about Styles that doesn’t mention his
fans.
They’ve sold out shows in minutes, taken over TikTok trends and camped outside
venues. They’re also a highly creative bunch of young people, using their
fandom to learn new skills that will carry them forward in many aspects of
their lives."
Cheers,
