What Is on the Ticket?
The "Sign of the Times" singer performed at Madison Square Garden as part of his 30-show residency at the historic venue.
A fan on X shared their ticket and the artwork in a post. It appears to show Styles in a flying yellow car over the spire of the Empire State Building. Behind the vehicle is a chemtrail across the NYC skyline.
It may seem innocent enough until you notice it strongly resembles images from the 9/11 attacks. And considering the 25th anniversary of that fateful day is tomorrow, one can't help but wonder what Styles' team was thinking when they crafted the image.
"A little bold given its 9/11 week in NYC," one user commented.
Another added, "putting that on the back the week of 9/11 is f**king insane... it's cute but i fear that was not a good idea."
Another wrote, "literally who approved this?"
Others defended Styles' artwork choice.
"Only cynical people would make the sick connection between this ticket artwork and the tragic terror of 9/11," a user wrote. "In fact, the artwork is beautiful to me, and it has the same look and feel as the beautiful and iconic artwork on the 1969 Beatles "Yellow Submarine" Album."
It's Another Setback as Harry Styles Announces Global Tour
This recent ticket issue is another setback as the singer recently announced next year's dates for his Together, Together tour.
Back in June, fans who attended one of the shows during the singer's 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium became concerned as he appeared to struggle through his performance.
While performing his famous "whale" move, in which he sprays water into the air from his mouth, Styles appeared to choke.
He then looked visibly uncomfortable before collapsing backward onto the stage.
While on the floor, Styles appeared to cough several times while covering his mouth with a clenched fist.
He also briefly held his stomach and took several deep breaths as he appeared to regain his composure before continuing with the show.
It didn't help that there was a massive heatwave in London at the time of the performance. He performed the rest of his Wembley Stadium dates without incident.
