Harry Styles Reveals the Surprisingly Deep Reason He Takes a Shower Immediately After Every Show
It's not just about hygiene for the singer (although that's important, too).
As the United States leg of Harry Styles' Together, Together tour approaches, the British pop star has opened up about his post-performance ritual for W Magazine. Styles reveals that immediately after each show, he takes a shower - not just for cleanliness, but to help him come back to reality after playing large arenas like Madison Square Garden.
"There's a version of yourself where you come offstage and feel like, 'Oh, I'm the guy right now,'" he explains. "I remember that from the really early days, the 'How do I stay in this feeling — this is amazing!'". Over time, Styles has learned to acknowledge this feeling and "wash it off" by showering. He describes the transition from performing to backstage as going from a "godlike position" to a vulnerable, almost infant-like state.
Styles admits admitting it's not really about him would have been terrifying when he was younger, but now it's liberating to realize how much bigger his role is in the experience. "We're all there for the same thing," he says. The interview precedes Styles' first show in a 30-night stand at MSG in New York City on Wednesday, August 26, followed by shows through October 31.
