On Thursday (6), after two days of conclave, the Catholic Church announced the election of a new Pope. At 1:07 pm (Brasília time), the traditional white smoke appeared over the Vatican, signaling the election of Francis’ successor. Shortly after, the name of the new pontiff was revealed: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who adopts the title of Pope Leo XIV.
Interestingly, Harry Styles was at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, watching the announcement. A fan whose username is NisaKanat18 posted a picture of the moment.
In fact, the artist has a close relationship with Italy. In August 2023, People reported that the British artist had bought a house in a remote village with few inhabitants: Civita di Bagnoregio, located in the province of Viterbo.
This year alone, the former 1D member was spotted walking around Rome in February and March. He even visited the Trastevere neighborhood several times. It is also worth mentioning that the star ended his most recent “Love On Tour” with a show at the RCF Arena Campovolo in Reggio nell’Emilia.
Above all, Styles’ latest project is the album “Harry’s House”, released in May 2022. In July 2023, the singer finished his world tour “Love On Tour”, in the city of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Since then, he has stayed away from the stage, with rare exceptions, such as when he “broke” his hiatus and made a surprise appearance at Stevie Nicks’ concert, at Hyde Park, in London, England, in July 2024. On that occasion, the duo sang “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” and “Landslide”.
“A new album is reportedly in the works, his first since the Billboard 200 topper ‘Harry’s House’, in 2022”, a source told Billboard last year.
