“…they had a Karaoke party. We’re sitting there, and this guy gets up and he starts singing this ABBA song. And he was unbelievable. I was like, ‘This guy’s like – he’s really good’. Then we turn to our friend and we’re like, ‘Man, that guy is really good.’ And they’re like, ‘That’s Harry Styles’…But I didn’t know who that was. I’m so pop culture anemic in my life.”
