Liam Payne Films ‘Niall’s Bum’ for Lucky One Direction Fan
Here’s exhibit A on why it actually can be a good(ish) idea to throw your expensive electronics onstage.

At a One Direction concert, a fan was taping some footage of the guys on her phone when she got a wild idea.

“It was near the end of the show and I caught eye contact with Liam,” the lucky fan captioned the below video. “I made a gesture if I could throw my GoPro on stage and he gestured back to do it. He filmed for a bit, then said he was going to film Niall’s bum when he wasn’t looking. He did that and then quickly turned it back when he turned around. He was about to throw it back when I mouthed “Harry” to him. He looked down the stage and saw that he was too far. He was about to start walking down the stage to get him when he turns back and says “I can’t” and I was gesturing him to take it with him, and he said “I’ll walk up there and you’ll never get it back” and then threw it back.. But he ALMOST did it for me :)”

As long as he considered it.

Take that Harry! Taylor Swift lives out romantic love affair with another famous starlet’s boyfriend in new Style video for song all about her One Direction ex
He’s so vain he will probably think this song is about him – and he would be dead on the money.

Taylor Swift premiered the clip for song Style on Friday morning and it was pretty obvious who the video was meant for.

The 25-year-old made Friday the 13th her lucky day – 13 is already her favourite number – as she released the rather dreamy clip simultaneously on the internet and Good Morning America.

While she may have dropped the ‘s’ – yes Taylor we all see what you did there – it was clear the singer wanted everyone to know that her song was in fact about ex Harry Styles.

While not actually in the video, the One Direction star was everywhere in the rather romantic film clip.

Filmed as a part dream, part memory sequence, Taylor’s stand-in Harry reflects on their now fractured romance.
