Harry Styles received a Blue Peter gold badge for his musical career and for inspiring young people, The Independent reported. The 32-year-old singer was presented the badge by presenter Shini Muthukrishnan backstage at his 12th Wembley Stadium show. Styles completed the London leg of his Together, Together tour on Saturday night.
He began the residency on June 12 for his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Demand expanded the run from six to 12 dates. The singer also received a Guinness World Record for the longest residency by a musician at Wembley Stadium during a single run.
He overtook the previous mark of 10 shows set by Coldplay during their Music Of The Spheres World Tour in 2025. Official adjudicator Will Munford presented the certificate onstage. "Harry Styles’ record-breaking 12-date run is a testament to the scale, ambition and cultural impact of his live performances, as well as the incredible connection he has with his fans," Munford said.
Styles said he grew up watching Blue Peter and never expected to receive the badge. A special Blue Peter episode filmed at Wimbledon that shows the presentation will air at 5pm Friday on CBBC. Previous recipients include Madonna, Ed Sheeran and Sir Paul McCartney.
Styles will next perform in Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York City and Melbourne before the tour ends in Sydney on December 13.
