carolina’s a stunt song — a thread
note: please don’t interact if you aren’t open-minded or if your intentions are to be hateful. this was made to inform people who may be wanting to know more about this NOT to criticize/“educate” people who think their fling was real. whether we agree or not, we can all agree +
+ that h worked hard on this song and that it shows. it’s a banger. here’s a really helpful article that I heavily based this thread on: https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Who-Harry-Styles-Song-Carolina-About-43553042/amp
I saw someone on my tl asking for this, so I’m providing.
remember: stunt (in this case) ≠ beard. this was for PR. here’s the given narrative & some “background info” about her:

starting off strong, there were different and inconsistent “narratives” given.
daily maiI's story says they met a couple years ago, but h has said more than once (n¡ck gr¡mshaw interview and in his behind the music documentary) that the song was the last one he wrote for the album, making it late 2016. h told n¡ck that he had been struggling with writing +
+ and went out, had some fun, which led to the song the album was missing. does that make their one-time date years before the album or in 2016?
this other article (written in 2017) says “a couple of years ago” which would be around 2015, but then it later says he met her while taking a break writing his album. in 2015 he was still in 1D so which is it?
another important thing to note is how it appears that townes has at least a small connection to h’s management. she and jeff’s brother (cameron) follow each other on insta. I know it’s a reach and that that isn't much, but for all we know, that's the actual thing +
+ that brought townes & h together in the first place. I know that you may say it’s borderline insane to be looking at the tiny details that might mean absolutely nothing. but I think it adds up to be publicity. another possibility is through her sister’s friendship with c¡ndy +
+ crawford’s son (presley), who’s *coincidentally* friends with cameron/jeff’s family. this is an easy connection from townes to h (townes —> her sister —> presley —> cameron —> jeff —> h) & might be why townes & cameron followed each other at all
in HS1’s photo booklet, one of the pages has handwritten lyrics, which is interesting because it's one of the only photos of lyrics in the whole thing. and instead of writing "townes," he underlined "town". were lyrics changed? was it a request? or did he just messed up her name?
h told n¡ck that before the album’s release the girl had no idea about the song. h said she heard about it when her dad heard him perform it for the first time on tv in nyc. h said the dad called her saying there was a song about her. h & her supposedly were brief, but her dad +
+ knew? I know my dad wouldn’t be aware of the people I may or may not have gotten with once. & somehow h found out about him knowing? so did him and townes stay in touch but she just didn’t know about the song? plus her dad noticed the name drop & knew it was about her even +
+ though it’s very subtle? I don’t know it just seems very unrealistic to me.
h is known for being private about things. his most “famous” "relationship" was with tayIor and he never really commented on it other than the minimum. he's been rumored to be with tons of other people and always stays pretty closed off. why would he now choose to be so obvious +
+ with dropping someone's NAME in a song? she either left a huge impression on him in that one interaction or he suddenly became very open and somewhat invasive of others’ privacy. I don’t really think harry would mention someone in a song without their approval
in general h is known for giving vague answers. he’s even said he’s "never really felt like [he’s] had to explain [his] personal life” and that he loves that “with writing, you get to wrap it up with a song. [he] understand[s] that people will dissect stuff like that, which is +
+ amazing, that people care enough ... to try and figure out what it means." (usa today) he won't say specifically who/what a song is about because he claims he wants the listeners to come up with their own ideas but writes it out in bold print for fans with “carolina”... why?
end of thread intellectual ls interact and/or follow me please
