Harry shows he’s in Styles across pond
Singer tipped for awards success
EXCLUSIVE Sounds like Harry Styles won’t have to wait long to make up for his Mercury Prize heartache.
The star may have missed out on the gong, but he could be set for better luck at the Brits and Grammys.
I can reveal Harry is due to perform at the Transatlantic bashes – and pick up a few statuettes along the way.
A music industry source says: “The fact both awards’ shows are desperate for Harry to sing is a massive indicator they don’t expect him to go home emptyhanded.”
Harry has had the biggestselling single and album in the UK this year. He will undoubtedly be one of the bookies’ favourites to win either Best Artist, Album or Single at London’s O2 Arena on February 11.
But it’s his current US campaign that could prove to be career-defining.
Until recently, everyone was predicting Adele and Beyonce would battle it out for Best Record, Single and Album of the Year at the Grammys.
But Stateside sources tell me Harry is now being tipped to beat 15-time winner Adele and 25-time champ Bey.
An LA insider says: “Everyone expected Adele v Beyonce to be the big Grammys story.
“But Harry’s campaign is building momentum and the early talk amongst the Grammy members is that he’s now expected to take home some of the biggest trophies.”
So far, Harry has won one Grammy – Best Pop Solo Performance in 2021 – and two Brits as a solo artist.
But a clean sweep at the upcoming ceremonies would rocket the former X Factor star into the top tier – and put the final nail in the coffin for a reunion with his 1D chums.
