Viral TikTok convinces fans that Harry Styles stole a microwave

A Harry Styles fan convinced the internet that the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer stole a microwave from the UBS Arena thanks to a hilarious TikTok that went viral.

Harry Styles wrapped up his ‘Love on Tour’ circuit at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York on November 28.

Fans were ecstatic to see the former One Direction member belting out lyrics to his own original tunes… but that was far from the biggest news to come out of his performance.

After the tour wound down, a Harry Styles super-fan took to TikTok to claim that her father, who allegedly works as a cameraman, said that Styles stole a crew microwave from the UBS Arena.
