The Brit entered into the spotlight in 2010 after trying out for The X Factor UK. During Styles' time on the show, creator and judge Simon Cowell paired him with fellow contestants Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Styles opened his concert with a party-starting rendition of "Dance No More," the current single from his fourth album, before singing "Carolina" from his self-titled 2017 debut for the first time in years.His electric energy carried through "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" and "Cinema," both from 2022's "Harry's House." Styles told the crowd early on, "I had the great privilege of playing this building for the first time when I was 18 years old. " He then played a live recording of country legend Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" over the speakers and watched as the crowd lit up the Garden with their cellphone flashlights and sang along.Moments later, Styles closed out his show with lead single "Aperture," complete with a laser show so bright that Parton surely could see it in heaven. Styles may have once kissed the Garden floor because he couldn't believe he'd made it, but on Wednesday night, he looked like a showman who knew he belonged there
