Harry Styles fans attending his Together, Together tour at Madison Square Garden have sparked a new viral trend. During Styles’ performance of “Ready, Steady, Go,” fans have been enthusiastically chanting the lyrics to Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer’s song “Telephone Busy” during the instrumental break. The trend originated from a fan remix on TikTok that mashed up the two songs, which gained popularity after 5 Seconds of Summer incorporated it into a DJ set at Lollapalooza.
The history between One Direction, where Harry Styles first gained fame, and 5 Seconds of Summer plays a significant role in the excitement behind this trend. 5 Seconds of Summer, initially discovered by One Direction member Louis Tomlinson, has had a long-standing connection with both bands’ fan bases. This fan-driven trend has garnered attention on social media, with videos showing fans enthusiastically participating in the chant, signaling a crossover of fan communities.
5 Seconds of Summer has acknowledged and appreciated the fan enthusiasm for the trend, with drummer Ashton Irwin expressing gratitude on social media. While Harry Styles has yet to comment on the trend, the increasing volume of fans joining in the chant may lead to his acknowledgment in the future. With numerous shows left on the tour, including multiple performances at Madison Square Garden and Rogers Stadium, the trend shows no signs of slowing down, with fans eagerly anticipating its continuation at upcoming concerts.
