Who are the Harries?

We are 50-something women with prestigious jobs, designer closets, and elite academic pedigrees.

The concert chase

I spent $2,000 on last-minute tickets to chase a concert show on a different continent.

My harrie journey

I began attending Harry Styles concerts 12 years ago after my mother died suddenly.

The first concert

I hit my first Harry Styles concert in 2:21, just as the pandemic was lifting.

The harrie motto

I vowed to go to every show, inked the first part on my arm, and never look back.

The harrie community

We are 50-something women who share a radical commitment to playing with friends as often as possible.

Betsy Gerber's story

Betsy Gerber, 49, booked three back-to-back tickets to combat corporate life stress.

“I really have used harry as a jumping board to take back control of my own wants and needs.”

Larissa Lee's story

Larissa Lee, 52, has seen Harry Styles live over 30 times and says he is underrated.

“When you add the community that has grown around being a fan of his, it’s really special.”

Leisa Hill's journey

Leisa Hill, 53, traveled 10,280 miles from Melbourne to Amsterdam for the tour.

“It’s one of the few things that makes you feel as energetic at 50 as you did at 15.”

Colleen Henshaw's story

Colleen Henshaw, 50, has been to seven Harry Styles shows since the tour opened in May.

“It’s one of the few things that makes you feel as energetic at 50 as you did at 15.”

The harrie impact

I now teach pop culture storytelling at indiana university and feel more confident in my life.

The emotional cost

I missed time with friends and family and faced side-eyes from people who find me unserious.

The financial cost

The costs equal a year of indiana mortgage payments, but harry styles is forever.

The final message

Harry Styles’ message of connection reminds us we are all alone together.

“It’s about connecting with people, singing with your friends and strangers. Sweating with them, dancing with them. It’s truly special.”
