Harry Styles Honors Dolly Parton in Emotional MSG Residency Opener
Harry Styles paid tribute to the late Dolly Parton during the opening night of his 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden on August 26, 2026. Parton died on August 25 following a brief battle with cancer. During the performance, Styles paused to acknowledge her influence, raised his arm in a salute, and said, 'We love you, Dolly.' He then stepped back as her recording of 'I Will Always Love You' played over the arena speakers, allowing the crowd to sing along. This moment preceded his performance of 'Sign of the Times.' The residency, supporting his album 'Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,' marks his first U.S. tour stop and will continue through Halloween.
