## Summary

New details from Harry Styles’ final Madison Square Garden show highlight its Halloween costumes and a guest appearance by basketball player Jalen Brunson. Styles closed his 30-date residency on 31 October with a 22-song set that included his first live performance of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”.

He began in a rat costume carrying a large pizza slice, referencing New York’s viral “pizza rat” video, before changing into an outfit with rat ears and a tail. His band dressed as New York staples, and Brunson briefly joined him to present a commemorative banner; the venue also displayed residency memorabilia.
