Louis’ Response To Zayn’s One Direction Covers Melted My Heart
Well, that was nice!
Zayn Malik isn’t the only One Direction member feeling nostalgic. Just days after the star shared a video on Instagram covering the group’s 2014 single “Night Changes,” his former bandmate Louis Tomlinson reacted to the clip on Twitter. What he had to say will warm every Directioner’s heart.
“It was great to see him reminiscing on the one direction days,” Tomlinson said about Malik in an Aug. 24 tweet.
Though a simple tweet, it’s the latest in what’s felt like a surprising increase in recent One Direction content. On June 10, Malik also posted a video of him singing the group’s 2014 song “You & I.”
Then, on June 19, several videos surfaced of Niall Horan attending Harry Styles’ concert at Wembley Stadium, including a video of Horan jamming out to Styles’ cover of the One Direction classic, “What Makes You Beautiful.” Another video from the show that circulated online shows Horan hugging Styles’ sister, Gemma Styles.
In a way, the One Direction uptick makes sense. On July 23, The X Factor UK uploaded a YouTube video showing how the band was created on the show. Judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, and Louis Walsh decided which contestants who were previously eliminated should come back and join the group.
In the end, they chose Styles, Tomlinson, Malik, Horan, and Liam Payne, who went on to become of the most famous boybands in the world.
Tomlinson also reacted to The X Factor UK video. “Felt proud watching it, just shows how far I’ve come!” he tweeted on Aug. 24.
Tomlinson was in a tweeting mood on Aug. 24 because he also revealed that day that he and Horan recently met up at the Glastonbury Festival in June.
One Direction has not publicly reunited in years and it doesn’t seem likely to happen any time soon, so these tiny interactions between the bandmates are the next best thing I could hope for. More of them, please, Louis.
