Harry Styles appears at the Vatican and no one knows why

The British singer shows that his talent to surprise has no limits, even among the Vatican solemnity.

The Vatican mystery of Harry Styles

Because, of course, what better place for Harry Styles than Saint Peter’s Square in the middle of the papal election? The former member of One Direction, known for his love of stages and impossible looks, decided that his next tourist stop would be the epicenter of Christianity. Reason? Mystery. Style? Impeccable, as always.

The singer, 31, tried (and failed) in his camouflage mission with a blue jacket, sunglasses and a cap that read “Techno Is My Boyfriend”. Because nothing screams “discretion” like a declaration of love for a musical genre in your head. One fan recognized it instantly, because, let’s be honest, who else wears that combination of fashion and absurdity in the middle of the Vatican?

The epic moment that no one expected

“While I was watching the Pope’s announcement, Harry Styles walked past me and our eyes met,” wrote the lucky (or traumatized?) witness in X. Because what is more surreal? See the new pope or meet the man who sang Watermelon Sugar among cardinals and faithful?

Styles, who has kept a low profile since his “Love on Tour”, appears to have specialized in random appearances. In March he ran a marathon in Tokyo (because why not?) and was seen in London wearing jeans and loafers at a running club. Clearly, man lives in a parallel universe where logic is optional.

What is a pop star doing in the Vatican? Perhaps he was looking for inspiration for his next album: Holy Watermelon Sugar. Or maybe he just wanted to see if the Pope also sings Sign of the Times in the shower. The only thing certain is that, while the world debated the future of the Church, the internet asked itself: “Is Harry Styles now a religious symbol?”.

Omar Camacho: from high school to the Flow Fest stage

At 19, he left high school to release his debut album with notable collaborations.

Omar Camacho was 18 years old when he asked his parents for permission to leave high school. It wasn’t a whim: his musical career was already taking off. Now, at 19, he presents his debut album I will never die, a fusion of regional Mexican music with hip hop that includes collaborations with Víctor Mendivil, Óscar Maydon and Santa Fe Klan.

Born in Chula Vista, California, and raised between Tijuana and Sinaloa, Camacho grew up listening to corridos and American rap. His rise to fame came through the Internet, where he uploaded singing videos. Óscar Maydon signed it for his Rico o Muerto label.

“I went straight to making music,” he explained in an interview. “My parents didn’t let me leave high school. I always told them ‘hey, let me leave because I’m fine now, I don’t want to wake up early’, but they wouldn’t let me, until it became a little more real.”

Now he gets up early for concerts, composition or video recording. His parents’ doubts were logical: there was no history of professional musicians in his family, although there were amateurs like his father and his aunts.

Collaborations that marked the album

The first song that opened the way for him was “2+2” with Víctor Mendivil. Then came “4×4”, with the same guest plus Angel Almaguer and $HUPE. Santa Fe Klan joined in for “Atrévete” and “Biggie di Bong.”

“Collaborating with Víctor Mendivil was a dream for me, thank God it came true,” said Camacho. “The beautiful song ‘2+2’ came out and I showed it to him and he liked it and decided to record it on his own.”

Regarding Santa Fe Klan, he added: “He invited us to his house in Guadalajara. He has a very different way of recording and he is very up to date. I mean, you can see that he really loves music.”

Oscar Maydon, in addition to being a mentor, appears in “The City of the Sun.” Camacho says that he called him when he was sleeping: “He told me ‘here I have a song that would be good for you, I imagined it with your voice’. I was very excited.”

The bonus track “3AM” features Jimmy Guzmán, Alemán and Gera MX. Camacho feels proud to belong to the new generation of Mexican rappers.

“I want my music to never die,” he said. “May my music always be there and be heard, even if there is one person in the world listening to me.”

Camacho will perform at the end of November at the Coca-Cola Flow Fest, where he has already been a guest of Mendivil. Now he hopes to be the headliner. He also plans a concert tour for his album.

Gallagher vs Olvera: the rivalry that heats up the 2026 World Cup

The Maná vocalist responded to Liam Gallagher's prediction about Mexico vs England.

The countdown to the Mexico-England match in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup unleashed an unexpected rivalry in music. Liam Gallagher predicted his team would win 5-0. Fher Olvera, vocalist of Maná, responded with a video and a phrase that went viral:

“5-0? Don’t stain, get situated… see you there on Sunday.”

The exchange opened another question: if Maná and Oasis were soccer teams, who would win?

Oasis starts with an advantage in sales: more than 100 million albums compared to 45 million for Maná. But the Mexican band has four Grammys and multiple Latin Grammys, while Oasis has seven Brit Awards.

On digital platforms, the duel is even. Oasis reaches 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify; Manna, 27 million. However, Maná leads in followers within the same platform and dominates YouTube with more subscribers. On Instagram, Oasis has a larger community.

There is no shortage of iconic songs: Oasis attacks with “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova”. Maná responds with “Rayando el Sol”, “Oye Mi Amor” and “Clavado en un Bar”.

In the end, the result depends on the side of the stand. What is a fact: the clash between Gallagher and Olvera turned a World Cup match into a classic also among fans.

Maná’s Fher responds to Liam Gallagher’s prediction

Fher de Maná responds with humor to Liam Gallagher's prediction of a 5-0 victory over Mexico.

The preview of the duel between Mexico and England for the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup continues to give something to talk about. Liam Gallagher, vocalist of Oasis, sparked controversy by predicting in X that his team will win 5-0 against Tricolor. Fher, leader of Maná, was quick to reply.

Fher’s response

In a video published on Instagram, the Mexican singer reacted to the Briton’s message:

“Let’s see, don’t stain; get your bearings, dude. 5-0? Calm down; we’ll see you on Sunday to see how it goes, dude.”

Fher is no stranger to provocations. The musical and football rivalry between both countries intensifies before the game.

Context of the meeting

Mexico reached the round of 16 after beating Ecuador 2-0. England qualified by beating the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2-1. Both teams will seek a ticket to the quarterfinals.

The English fans have made Wonderwall, the song of Oasis, an anthem during the tournament. After the last victory, hundreds of fans chanted the song along with the players in the stands.

Background with the Gallaghers

It is not the first time that a Gallagher has generated a stir with Mexican soccer. In 2012, Noel Gallagher said on ESPN about Javier “Chicharito” Hernández:

“I think he’s an idiot (laughs). He’s an idiot; Did you know that the word ‘Chicharito’ means ‘the little idiot’?”

The duel between Mexico and England promises emotions both on the field and off it.
