Harry Styles Fans Tweet Taylor Swift Death Threats After VMA STFU Diss

One Direction member Harry Styles live

Fans of One Direction and Harry Styles were livid with Taylor Swift after she was seen apparently mouthing “shut the fu** up” about her ex-boyfriend to pal Selena Gomez while One Direction were on stage at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Swift also took a shot at Harry while accepting the award for Best Female Video for her song ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’, which she confirmed earlier this year was about Styles. “I also want thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because now I got one of these!” Swift told the audience while holding up her Moonman.

On Twitter, dozens of 1D fans made disturbing death threats towards Taylor, and hundreds more told the singer in vulgar terms she was too promiscuous for their tastes, having dated several musicians only to write unflattering songs later about their failed relationships.

Among the attacks:

ana carre (@anamariiacarre): You’re like a 6 year old. Slut @taylorswift13

Harry Styles Doesn’t Object If Taylor Swift Writes About Failed Romance

One Direction member Harry Styles live

One Direction star Harry Styles tells Us that his past relationship with Taylor Swift is fair game for her to write about on her next album, something she’s already done with her breakup single ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’. “It would be hypocritical for me to say she couldn’t do it because everybody writes songs based on personal experience,” the British artist explained. “I can’t say I’d have dated someone less famous to avoid it.”

As for dating someone in the public eye like himself, the 19-year-old opined, “If you have a lot of people from outside telling you what it is and they don’t even know you, telling you what your relationship is, that’s weird. So I think you sort of have to block it out and just have the relationship rather than think - we’re having this relationship play out on magazine covers.”

Harry Styles Working On Solo Material

One Direction member Harry Styles live

Could One Direction star Harry Styles be following the path of Justin Timberlake, dipping his toes in the solo waters and leaving the boy band if he finds success without his mates? Harry is getting an opportunity to hit the recording studio while 1D is on break from their world tour.

“He loves messing around with some of the new songs he’s been working on,” a source close to the band told The Sun. “He’s bounced some ideas off his friend Ed Sheeran and has already laid down some vocals. Harry’s priority is obviously still with One Direction. But when he decides the time to go solo has arrived, he’s likely to have a project raring to go.”

The language is similar to what was voiced when Timberlake ventured away from *NSYNC to do a solo album, but once Justin became a chart topper with ‘Justified’ and didn’t have to share the royalties with bandmates, the desire to return to a boy band subsided. If the album doesn’t go over well though, as was the case with Nick Carter’s ‘Now or Never’, 1D could follow the Backstreet Boys lengthier career path.

Harry Styles Toilet Humor Gift For Niall Horan

Niall Horan revealed that in the initial days of One Direction, bandmate Harry Styles snapped a photo of him while he was sitting on the toilet. Afterward, he used the photo in a gift he offered the Irish star on his birthday.

“When we first got together, we were in Harry’s stepdad’s house and I was in the toilet, which was unlocked. Harry burst in and took a picture of me,” Niall explained to Metro. “Two weeks later for my birthday, I got a present from him and it was a mug with a picture of me on the toilet on it. You have to pour hot water in and then the picture shows up.”

But since then, the gift has gone out of commission after Harry broke the cup handle, as Liam Payne explained. “He broke it! We got him a nice present and he broke it,” Liam complained.

One Direction Accept Fans Twitter Challenges

One Direction challenges on TYG

One Direction appeared on the launch of The You Generation, talking with TYG about how the internet catapulted them to global superstardom before selecting balls that had a number corresponding to a Twitter fan challenge for Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

Liam was challenged to do 20 keepie uppies in a row, which he didn’t technically do but he crossed that number overall before getting some celebratory kicks himself from his bandmates. Next up was Zayn, who was challenged to draw his favorite bandmate (Louis) in a minute, which he accomplished in cartoon form. Niall was then asked to do his best impression of a fellow band member and one other celebrity, with the singer choosing Zayn and reciting ‘The Godfather’ lines, “You come in here on the day of my daughters wedding. And you ask me for justice. You ain’t gettin’ no justice.” Harry was then challenged to throw 20 balls in a cutout face of the host in a minute, which he accomplished in the final seconds. The last guy up was Louis, who was challenged to try to be a YouTube presenter, breaking into character to ask his question about tips for being a presenter.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson introduced the video, with Louis saying, “This year, we decided to make a single to raise money for Comic Relief.” Zayn continued, “Comic Relief are a British charity that do amazing work helping people all over Africa and in the UK living with really tough lives.” Harry concluded, “So instead of spending a lot of money on a music video, we decided to make it ourselves while we’re on tour, and give the money we save to Comic Relief.”

One Direction Shoot ‘Kiss You’ Video At Ellstree Studios

One Direction on the megaphone after shooting the 'Kiss You' video

One Direction are out with behind the scenes highlights from the making of their ‘Kiss You’ music video. The track is off Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson’s second studio album ‘Take Me Home’, released on Columbia Records.

Describing the scene, director Vaughan Arnell said, “Here we are, Ellstree Studios, home of ‘Star Wars’, ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘The Shining’, but more importantly, we’re shooting One Direction here today. We’ve got the surf set here. Over in this corner we’ve got the snow set. Over in this corner we’re doing like a ‘Jailhouse Rock’ set, and straight behind you over there we’re shooting a car scene, and it’s all fake projections in the background. It’s all quite tongue in cheek and we’ve got two days to shoot it, and it’s gonna be chaos.”

Zayn said, “Clearly whoever was in charge of getting the set together didn’t plan on that they were gonna be dealing with five idiots.”

In the passenger seat of a convertible Triumph, Louis said, “I’ve driven in three videos now. The second a broke a Mini Cooper and in ‘Live While We’re Young’ I broke the Jeep. They’re not actually letting me drive this probably for those reasons.” Unfortunately, that didn’t mean something wouldn’t go wrong for the driver this time around. “Early I was lifting up the visor in the car and I lifted it up too quick and slapped myself in the eye,” Niall confessed. “I’ve got a bit of a big eye, so I had to put sunglasses on to make it not look as bad.”

Harry Styles has tattoos on his chest and stomachTalking about the following scene, Louis said, “I think what we’re moving onto next, it’s almost like a climbing frame. There’s a fireman’s pole. I might actually want to be a fireman. I could get into this, so I may be able to snag some skills there.”

As for the dance averse boyband showing off their skills in the next scene, Zayn said, “We’re about to re-enact Elvis. None of us even have 20% of the cool that Elvis had, but it should be interesting and funny.”

After wrapping up, Niall said, “Everyone. Every single person. We just want to say a massive thank you for the last couple of days for all of your hard work from everyone that put this together.” Louis added, “And Could I just say I think we’d all agree this has been the most fun we’ve ever had at a video shoot, so thank you so much to everybody!”

One Direction On Matching Screw Tattoos, Niall Horan’s Knee

One Direction, seen here welcoming in 2013, talk about their matching screw tattoos on their ankles and Niall Horan needing surgery for his dislocated knee

One Direction turned up unannounced as In Demand’s suprise guests. The boy band interviewed and did an acoustic performance. Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan talked about their Go1Den ticket contest, Louis’ charity soccer match, the status of Niall’s knee, the Pepsi commercial with Drew Brees and appearing on ‘X Factor’ again. The guys also phoned a few fans.

Talking about his knee, Niall said, “Basically, about 2-3 years ago playing football I dislocated my knee and had a floating kneecap, so I’ve had a floating kneecap since and it keeps going in and out if I’m playing golf or whatever. Then playing football last week, I did it again and I went to a specialist and he told me it’s operation time for me.” He added, “Until we have time off, I won’t be able to get the operation, so it’s gonna be awhile until I get it.”

On getting matching screw tattoos on their ankles, Zayn explained, “We were literally, me and Harry were in a hotel room in New York with a tattoo gun and thought it was clever to do it on each other and we just thought it would be cool if everyone in the band got them.”
