Harry Styles is going from strength, and a recent gig has fans tongue-wagging even more than usual.

At an intimate gig in Brooklyn, New York, Harry gave fans the solo tracks they love, but also surprised them with a throwback to his One Direction days, People reports.

In an updated version of the boys' first single, What Makes You Beautiful, Harry gave the crowd the gift they didn't know they wanted.

Waving about a rainbow pride flag, he then want on to round of the show by belting out Kiwi, from his 2017 first solo album.

"Probably Lizzo," he said, "Probably Good As Hell.

"I feel like she has this infectious positivity that's so important. She's so authentically herself and as a fan, that's all you really want.

"She's really powerful and inspiring. She's so forward about how she's going to be herself, sometimes you're going to like it, sometimes not."

The topic was shifted to a possible collaboration - which Harry refused to rule out.

"Any time people like each other and perform together, everyone kind of thinks you'll do a song together," he told, "But it's also fine for people to just like each other's stuff.

"If there was ever a time when it made sense, absolutely [we'd collaborate], I think she's great."
