Harry Styles‘ opening monologue on Saturday Night Live was livestreamed, though he jokingly admitted it might not have been necessary. He confessed he’s always been aware of his slow speech, but time off made him realize he’s simply not very exciting. He even joked about taking up jogging – an uninteresting activity that people only find compelling because of who he is. The monologue also included a playful, unexpected line about the author Haruki Murakami being found in a ditch.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the accusations of ‘queerbaiting’ that have followed Harry Styles for a while. He finally addressed it, and honestly, his response was pretty great. He pointed out that people fixated on his fashion choices and then got upset when he didn’t publicly pursue relationships with other men, like Louis Tomlinson or even Barack Obama! He playfully questioned if anyone had considered that maybe, just maybe, there was more to him than what met the eye. And to really drive the point home – and perhaps quiet the critics – he shared a sweet kiss with Ben Marshall. It felt like a clear message: his personal life is his own, but he’s definitely comfortable expressing affection. It was a smart and surprisingly effective way to handle a tricky situation.
