You know prices are out of control when even the celebrities are complaining about them. That’s one of the biggest recession indicators of them all. When the rich and famous are gawking at their final tabs, there’s something seriously wrong with the state of the economy. It’s bad enough that Harry Styles, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, is lamenting a time when coffees weren’t so expensive.

During another blockbuster concert at Madison Square Garden, the British pop star had a candid moment with the audience. With Halloween around the corner that evening, he admitted that the usual things people get scared of weren’t even bothering him.

Instead, what frightened him was the final tab he’d receive after ordering a simple cappuccino. Then, Harry Styles scoffed at the audacity to ask for a tip afterward.

“The scariest thing about this Halloween is the price of caffeinated beverages in [New York]. It’s out of control. They have to be stopped,” he stressed. “It’s a cappuccino. It can’t be $10, it can’t be. And then they spin it around at me, and it’s a 22% or 24% [tip]. It’s out of control.”

Harry Styles Has Had Enough of Tipping Culture and The Prices of Coffee in New York

As relatable as this might be for the common person, it was admittedly a little distracting. That night, Styles was donning his Halloween costume, a lavish recreation of Elvis Presley’s tried and true stage attire. He wore big, gaudy sunglasses and a white pantsuit bejeweled with tons of red, blue, and gold gems. To cap it all off, he had a massive cape to match, also studded out in jewels. It’s luxurious and extremely accurate to Elvis, but it definitely didn’t seem like Harry Styles is hurting to afford a coffee like the rest of us.

The TikTok comments shared similar sentiments, with one person soberingly saying that if he’s noticing, what does that mean for the working class? However, an even more salient point arose from fellow commenters— does he know how much it costs for fans to even go to his concerts?

Many fans lamented that as bad as a $10 coffee is, some people have to pay hundreds just to attend one of his residencies. For decent seats, fans have to start coughing up upwards of $1000. “Boy your lower bowl ticket was $700, give the baristas a little tip,” one person wrote.

Harry Styles may not be the first name you think of when you imagine rock ‘n’ roll. However, his Halloween costume definitely captured the spirit of The King. In a video captured by TMZ, the “Adore You” crooner channeled his inner Elvis Presley with a pretty spot-on costume. He donned an all-white pantsuit bedazzled in red, blue, and gold jewels with a lavish cape to match. I don’t know that I would ever think of a British pop star as Elvis, but he gets an A for accuracy. Check out the costume below:

Naturally, people in the replies were abrasive towards the homage for a variety of reasons. The Elvis Presley defenders took serious offense, scoffing at the idea that Harry Styles could ever emulate him. If it wasn’t Halloween, maybe they’d have a point. Then, there was one person who scoffed that it was a costume for an artist heavily drawing from Black culture. The funniest response saw someone joke that Styles was 50 pounds lighter.

Harry Styles Performs at MSG in full Elvis Presley Garb

This marked his second-to-last show at Madison Square Garden, with one grand finale on Halloween. Then, he’ll continue his grand residency tour by heading to Australia for four shows. Two of them will take place at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and the others at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

Then, Harry Styles will take a break heading into the new year before finishing the rest of his worldwide residencies. Eventually, he’d conclude with a slate of performances in London at Wembley Stadium on August 28th, 2027.

Earlier in the month of October during another performance at Madison Square Garden, Styles honored his late One Direction partner Liam Payne. He passed away in 2024 after falling from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Argentina. His performance marked the two-year anniversary of his passing.

Consequently, Harry Styles gave a stirring speech in honor of his late friend about not forsaking the time we have with the people we love. Then, he performed a tender song dedicated to the late Liam Payne.

“I’m sure a lot of you have been through similar things. I hope you haven’t. But really, it’s just about looking after each other,” he told his fans. “So many people who have touched my life in such special ways. I wouldn’t be here without. I’m gonna play you a song I wrote for my friend about two years ago, if that’s all right.”
