Niall Horan‘s solo career outside of One Direction just got so real over the weekend at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards. The singer stole the show with his first-ever solo performance of his recently-released single “This Town” and the crowd couldn’t get it enough of it.
“It was honestly a little bit different, but yeah that was fun,” Niall told the stadium about performing solo. “How could you feel lonely with 10,000 people?” (He’s previously mentioned that “the weirdest thing I found” about going solo “was singing the whole song,” but we have a feeling the crowd was singing along to every word.)
After seeing the singer-songwriter take control of the stage with a bright spotlight shining directly on him and his acoustic guitar, it seems he’s gotten over doing everything on his own. But it seems that everyone was rooting for the singer, as even before he started playing, fans were already freaking out about just seeing him back on stage.
