Why Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde Are Not Attending the 2022 MTV VMAs in Person
Harry Styles has been in the New York City area for days, not far from where the MTV VMAs are being held at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center just outside of the city tonight. But the singer, who's up for six different awards, will not be at the ceremony in person. Styles is playing at Madison Square Garden at 8 P.M. in Manhattan as part of his Harry Styles Love on Tour New York City stop.
With both events happening at practically the same time, Styles literally can't be in two places at once. But the possibility of him making a brief remote appearance or pre-filming content for the show isn't out of the realm of possibility at all.
Styles is nominated for Video of the Year (“As It Was”), Artist of the Year, Best Pop Song (“As It Was”), Best Cinematography (“As It Was”), Best Direction (“As It Was”), and Best Choreography (“As It Was”).
Styles missing the MTV VMAs ceremony also means that he and his girlfriend of nearly two years, Olivia Wilde, aren't going to be making their red carpet debut as a couple there. The two are set to attend the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5 for the world premiere of their film Don't Worry Darling though. Whether they will pose together on the red carpet or stay apart for the sake of professionalism, time will tell.
Wilde spoke about her decision to keep her and Styles' relationship private in her Variety interview, released earlier this week. “I’m not going to say anything about it because I’ve never seen a relationship benefit from being dragged into the public arena,” she said. “We both go out of our way to protect our relationship; I think it’s out of experience, but also just out of deep love.”
