Harry Styles<\/strong> is back in the news due to a highly anticipated tour announcement and the release of a new single, \u201cAperture.\u201d But it was only May of last year when he was making unexpected headlines for showing up in an unexpected place: St. Peter’s Square, shortly after the new Pope was elected. And he wouldn’t have been there had it not been for a serendipitous haircut.<\/p>\n

In a new BBC Radio 1 interview, Styles confirmed for host Greg James that he was, in fact, walking through the faithful spectators celebrating the papal conclave’s election of Pope Leo XIV. Styles was wearing sunglasses and a hat that read \u201cTechno Is My Boyfriend,\u201d and that hat was hiding a fresh ‘do.<\/p>\n

“I was getting a haircut in Rome,” Styles says, not giving further explanation for why he was in Rome. (Maybe this barber gives really<\/em> good haircuts.) \u201cAnd I just heard all these people start shouting, \u2018Habemus papam! Habemus papam!\u2019 People just running down the street. So the guy cutting my hair stopped cutting my hair, and he was like, \u2018Habemus papam! There\u2019s a new pope!\u2019”<\/p>\n

It’s not that Styles didn’t believe his stylist, but when he finished the haircut, he figured he might as well see firsthand what all the fuss was about. “I was like, \u2018I\u2019m, like, five minutes’ walk from there.\u2019 So I walked over. It was wild.”<\/p>\n

Of course, even with all of the hubbub, someone managed to spot and snap a photo of the singer hiding his new haircut, which we assume he covered with a hat in an attempt to be more incognito and not because there was anything wrong with the cut.<\/p>\n

Check out the entire interview below.<\/p>\n
