Harry Styles was trending worldwide for hosting and being the musical guest on this week’s Saturday Night Live. The singer-actor did a terrific job taking over double duty as he not only performed Lights Out and new track, Watermelon Sugar, he also showed off his comedic timing in some laugh out loud sketches. Meanwhile, it was Harry’s opening monologue that really grabbed major attention. Not only did Harry pay tribute to his One Direction bandmates, but he also took a major dig at ex-1D member Zayn Malik.
“I love those guys. Niall, Liam, Louis…,” Styles stated while pretending to struggle and then belting out, “Uh.. Ringo! Yeah, that’s it.” Liam Payne took to his Twitter account to reveal his reaction to the 1D tribute by his bandmate on SNL. “This actually made me laugh out loud,” Liam tweeted with an animated version of himself laughing. However, when one Harry Styles fan tweeted back to the 26-year-old singer, “Was @LiamPayne being sarcastic? Did he find it funny or was he laughing at the fact he hasn’t met Harry in ages and said that?,” Liam clarified, “No it was funny nice to see him happy and comfortable doing something he hasn’t done before.”

Okay but if the audience were full of directioners I would’ve atleast heard one loud scream when @Harry_Styles said ‘’wouldn’t it be crazy if they were here tho’’?❤️ and finally after @LiamPayne saying he hasn’t talked to Harry in ages Harry finally said he loved him?❤️ pic.twitter.com/xVjro1BYAE
