NEW YORK – Is a Harry Styles-Lizzo
collaboration coming our way?
Never say never, teased the former
One Direction member during a secret
concert Friday for SiriusXM subscribers
and Pandora listeners. Styles took the
stage at Brooklyn’s intimate Music Hall
of Williamsburg shortly after 7 p.m.,
where he was joined by “The Morning
Mash Up” hosts Ryan Sampson, Nicole
Ryan and Stanley T for a pre-show in-
terview.
Asked what recent pop song he wish-
es he had written himself, Styles re-
sponded Lizzo’s hit “Good as Hell,”
which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard
Hot 100 singles chart last November.
“I just feel she has this infectious
positivity,” Styles said of the recent
Grammy winner. “She’s so authentically
herself and it’s really powerful. I think
she’s really inspiring. She is very for-
ward about she’s going to be herself, and
sometimes you’re going to like it and
sometimes you’re not, and that’s amaz-
ing. Because people aren’t perfect.”
This isn’t the first time Styles has
shown love for Lizzo: He went viral with
a cover of her breakthrough hit “Juice”
for BBC Radio 1, which has tallied more
than 12 million views on YouTube since
December. She invited him on stage in
Miami in January to perform the song,
and then covered his infectious single
“Adore You” last month.
Pressed if the two artists are plan-
ning to collaborate, Styles said he would
be open to it.
“I mean, if something made sense,
maybe,” Styles told “The Morning Mash
Up” hosts. “It’s funny, any time people
like each other or perform together, ev-
eryone kind of thinks, ‘Oh, you guys
should do a song together.’ It’s fine! But
it’s also fine for people to just like each
other’s stuff. But if there was ever a time
where she wanted to do it and it made
sense, absolutely. I think she’s great.”
Concertgoers at Friday’s secret ses-

sion were emailed the location mere

hours before it started and were met

with long lines and an overcrowded

venue upon arrival. But Styles, 26,

made the most of his surprisingly brief

five-song set, charismatically playing

favorites including “Watermelon Sug-

ar” and “Adore You” from his critically

acclaimed second album “Fine Line,”

released in December. He even

brought out One Direction hit “What

Makes You Beautiful,” much to the de-

light of his screaming fans.

Styles will return to the U.S. this

summer for an arena tour with Rilo Ki-

ley singer Jenny Lewis and recently

announced two Halloween-themed

shows at New York’s Madison Square

Garden on Oct. 30 and 31.

In the book, Underwood also shares

her own journey to healthful living.

“I was always lucky to be able to go

play outside as a kid,” she says. “But

you know, I’m from a small town kind

of in the South in the middle of the

country, and health really wasn’t a pri-

ority,”

When she was in her early 20s, she

started to feel her metabolism shift.

“I hadn’t really started paying atten-

tion to nutrition,” she explains. “It got

to a point where I didn’t feel good.”

Then she made some changes and

began zoning in on nutrition and exer-

cise. She feels lucky she was able to

turn it around – she called it a “reset”

to her life.

Now, she’s staying on that path. “I

remember what that felt like to feel

slow and tired, and I don’t want to go

back,” she says.

She dealt with the pressures of the

spotlight too, and was focused on her

weight – it seemed like a numbers

game. She eventually shifted her

mindset from what clothes she could

fit into to focusing on nutrition and

what made her feel better.

She made sure her goals would al-

low her “to operate this machine called

‘the body’ in a way that I felt good

about.”

Focusing on healthy living in a big-

picture way has helped her enjoy life. “I

still feel good in what I have on, even if

I eat half a pizza when I’m watching

the Super Bowl,” she adds.

Her biggest tip?

“Just keep going,” she says. “It

shouldn’t be a chore, which is why we

tried to make the app fun and keep you

on your toes.”

Small steps can make a really big

difference.

“I feel like it’s all about practical

choices, nothing in the book or in the

app or anything is weird or unattain-

able, it’s practical,” Underwood says.
