Harry Styles makes a joke about the smell in the arena as he starts night two of his 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden in New York. In coverage of the show, he is described as taking a lighthearted swipe at audience body odour, framed as a comment about New York City.
The two reports presented share the same core detail: the remark is part of Styles’ onstage banter during the start of the second performance, with both outlets attributing the comment to a humorous moment aimed at the crowd. Neither source provides additional substantiating context such as the precise wording beyond the cited “smell those New York City armpits” phrasing, nor do they report any official response or fallout.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the timing (night two), location (Madison Square Garden, New York), and the nature of the remark (a joke about audience smell/body odour).
