Harry Styles has made unexpected boy-band fans out of all of us.
It’s true: long before my days of fawning over One Direction, I was popping a Coldplay album into my portable CD player and spinning the sounds of X & Y. But somewhere around 2011, something changed.

Fingers crossed, Chris. FINGERS CROSSED.
