Please Don’t Throw Chicken Nuggets At Harry Styles

You won’t believe what happened during Harry Styles’ residency at Madison Square Garden. While performing at the iconic New York City venue on Saturday, Aug. 27, the “Late Night Talking” singer was hit with...chicken nuggets.

Seriously, I’m not making this up. In an audience member’s video shared on Twitter, Harry picked up the first chicken nugget and briefly stopped his show to address the hilarious occurrence.

“Very interesting, very interesting approach,” Styles said, with a smile on his face and while holding the nugget in the air. “Who threw the chicken nugget?”

After another nugget was thrown on stage, the crowd began chanting, “Eat it! Eat it!” Styles refused. “I don’t eat chicken, sorry!” he said. “I don’t eat meat.”

The star threw the first chicken nugget into the crowd before crouching down to get the other one. “This is cold, and I’m assuming very old,” he said after picking up the second nugget.

Despite Styles offering very valid reasons for refusing to eat the fried food, fans continued their “Eat it!” chant, which caused him to laugh in amusement. He then seemed to spot the thrower in the audience and said to them, “Would you like it back?”

The concertgoer agreed and Harry tossed the second nugget into the audience. “Alright, here you go. Don’t eat it,” Styles said. “Now it’s on the floor. Don’t go looking for it. We’ll get you another nugget, okay? Fear not, fear not.”

This is certainly an interesting update from Harry’s New York City residency, which began on Saturday, Aug. 20, as part of the North American leg of his Love On Tour. Although his residency is not even halfway over, his shows have already made headlines outside of chicken nugget chronicles. For example, Styles called a fan’s ex-boyfriend during his show, and he also got his audience to sing “Happy Birthday” to his long-time friend James Corden.

Harry will finish his shows at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Sept. 21, before he heads off to Austin, Texas, for another residency. Styles also has a number of shows scheduled later this fall in Chicago, Illinois, and Inglewood, California. After touring North America, he’ll perform in Latin America, Oceania, and Europe.

For those of you who are going to see Styles in concert and are thinking about throwing something on stage, I suggest sticking to roses and not chicken nuggets.
