Last weekend, one of the biggest nights in music took place in Los Angeles, the Grammys. The ceremony saw Beyoncé make history by winning four awards, making her the most decorated Grammy winner of all time, and Harry Styles picked up the high-coveted Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, which didn't go unnoticed by his former bandmates.

Away from the awards, exes Harry Styles and Taylor Swift were spotted talking, and now fans think they've worked out what they were talking about!

Thanks to fan Gracie, who has shared her thoughts on TikTok, the mystery might have been explained.

"Maybe I'm crazy, but I really don't think I am," she said: "Harry's telling Taylor that the stage was turning the wrong way. Like at the very beginning, he's motioning like this, and then she's like 'ahh, oh my god, no way!'.

"I slowed it down, and you can see him, like very clearly motioning around and around with his hand. Then this guy gets in our way, then once he's out of the way, it looks like Harry's kind of pointing at the stage and then Taylor leans back, and she like brings her hand up to her mouth like she's gasping, is what I would imagine she's doing."

Since Gracie posted her theory fans have been posting their thoughts, with one writing: 'your are so smart for this 🕵️‍♀️' (sic) and another wrote: 'I think so too!! I saw a different angle of them talking & it looks like they were talking about the stage turning!'.

In case you missed it, there was a problem with Harry's performance at the awards ceremony, on Sunday night (5the February). According to several of the singer's dancers, the turntable on stage was rotating in the wrong direction, causing the dancers and Harry to improvise their previously well-rehearsed moves.

As reported by Variety, in a now deleted TikTok, choreographer Dexter Da Rocha said: "12 of us were on the turntable and we rehearsed for 10 days getting down these beautiful formations and sliding off the turntable… and Harry did such a good job integrating into it and had a beautiful duet.

"We were practising with the turntable counterclockwise and we did it loads of times and got it down to the point where, in dress rehearsal yesterday, it was spotless."

He went on to say: "Harry did his best to walk and reverse everything while he was singing and reverse his entire duet which is incredible."

Take a look through Harry Styles amazing career:

Early life

Harry was brought up in the beautiful village of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, 21 miles south of Manchester. Harry's mum is Anne Cox, his dad is Des Styles, and his stepdad was Robin Twist who sadly passed away in 2017. Harry's sister Gemma is three years older than him, and works as a model and journalist, and their step-brother Mike Twist is Robin's son from a previous relationship.

2010: The X Factor

Harry auditioned for the seventh series of The X Factor as a solo artist, singing a version of Steve Wonder's 'Isn't She Lovely'. Harry made it to Boot Camp on his own but failed to make it to Judges' Houses. Therefore, he and four other boys who didn't make the cut were put together as a group - and the rest is history!


Harry, along with Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne, reached the final of The X Factor as One Direction and finished in third place.

2011-2015: One Direction – the world’s biggest boyband

After releasing their first single 'That's What Makes You Beautiful' back in 2011, the boys quickly started to take over the world. Harry and the 1D boys went on to enjoy huge success, winning over 200 awards including seven BRIT Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards.


One Direction achieved four UK Number 1 albums and one Top 5 album throughout their time together, along with four UK Number 1 singles and five UK Top 10 singles which spent an incredible 56 weeks in the Top 10 from 2011-2015. Harry and the 1D boys released four albums as a five-piece - 'Up All Night', 'Take Me Home', 'Midnight Memories' and 'Four'.

2015: One Direction's extended hiatus

In 2015, Zayn announced he was leaving the band and Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam made the decision to carry on as a four-piece. Harry and the boys then released album 'Made in the A.M.' which included 'Drag Me Down', 'Infinity' and 'Perfect' as singles. The fifth studio album reached Number 1 on the UK album charts.


Following its release, Harry and his bandmates announced they were going on an extended hiatus in 2016, focusing on their solo careers and individual opportunities.

2017: Harry’s first solo album & Dunkirk

Harry released his first solo single 'Sign of the Times', which went straight to Number 1 in the UK, proving a success as the power ballad won a BRIT Award for British Video of the Year. Harry's self-titled debut album immediately went to Number 1 on its release in several countries, including the UK. This album showed a new side of the star that fans had not seen during his One Direction days as the record was made up of soft rock tracks. Harry then released two more singles, 'Two Ghosts' and 'Kiwi' from the album.


Harry also released a documentary about the making of his album in 2017. Entitled Harry Styles: Behind the Album, the 50-minute film showed a behind-the-scenes look at Harry's recording process. The success continued for Harry as he made his feature film acting debut in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, where he played a British soldier named Alex.
