The “As It Was” singer, 28, wrapped hisLove on Tour New York City residencyon Wednesday night, and was surprised with a banner marking the milestone that’ll hang in the rafters of the legendary venue. The white and blue banner will sit beside others honoring Billy Joel and Phish, making Styles one of just three musical artists with their own MSG flag.

Just before the show’s encore,CBS Morningsco-hostGayle King— who’d been enjoying the set from her seat beside actress Drew Barrymore — took to the stage to do the honors.

“We have a surprise for you, Harry!” King, 67, said as the two shared a hug. “We’re all at Harry’s House right now. Fifteenth consecutive night, sold out show. No artist has ever done that before. Twenty-thousand people, Harry, on their feet. We think you are walking joy, walking happiness… and we just want to say to you Harry, we don’t want to say goodnight to you, Harry Styles!”

“I just want to say from the bottom of my heart to each and every single one of you who came tonight… That’s insane,” he said, interrupting his own train of thought to comment on the banner. “To all of you who bought a ticket, thank you so, so much for your support. Things like this don’t happen to people like me very often… and I just want to thank you all. You’ve changed my life each and every single one of you thank you so, so much.”

He added: “Any time when you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, you remember it’s because of you. That is ours.”

The Grammy Award winner then stopped and said a stunned, “S—,” before telling the crowd that he would “come back here when everyone’s gone and just sit and look at that for a while.”

Styles wrapped his Big Apple dates with a few special surprises for his audience, which included King, Barrymore, girlfriendOlivia Wilde,Madonna,Jimmy Fallon,Jenna Bush HagerandHenrik Lundqvist.

All fans in attendance were given a feather boa in honor of the star’s killer style, and he also treated the crowd to a deep cut: “Ever Since New York,” a track off his 2017 debut album that he last played live in 2018. Dev Hynes, who opened the show under his stage name Blood Orange, also joined Styles for “Matilda.”

“Selling out 15 consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden is a massive accomplishment and reinforces Harry Styles as one of the most impactful artists of his generation,” Jim Dolan, executive chairman and CEO, MSG Entertainment, said in a statement. “It is a testament to Harry and his fans that a banner celebrating this remarkable achievement will hang from the rafters alongside some of the most legendary artists and athletes in history. Harry has already headlined The World’s Most Famous Arena several times in his skyrocketing career, and we’re honored that MSG was Harry’s House for these 15 incredible nights.”

His new banner will join the two banners Joel received for his residency and his total number of lifetime shows, as well as Phish’s banner, which was dedicated in 2017 after the band played 13 sold-out nights in which they did not repeat a song, according toNME.com.
