A Harry Styles mega-fan jets around the world and stays in Airbnbs for weeks at a time so she can see her beloved pop hero perform over and over again.
Xoee Pearl () has made it her mission to see the British crooner as many times as possible. The New Yorker has followed Harry Styles on the ‘Love on Tour’ through Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, London and many more destinations.
Xoee says combining her passions for music and travel is her "happy place" and is therefore happy to upstick and venture out across the world to follow the Redditch born lad as he sends crowds wild in different postcodes.
When the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer announced he would be performing 15 shows for his LA residency, Xoee decided to move to the city for a month with her friend.
The New Yorker is a big Styles fan (Getty Images for Spotify)"There was something really special about moving out to LA for a month and embracing that life all because of Harry’s shows. Finding a new favourite coffee shop and being able to play pretend as a local was also a plus," she told Omio.

"Since we booked an Airbnb very far in advance, that gave us many options to choose from at a fair price. Once the place was booked, it was a lot easier to open up the invitation to more friends to split the cost, making it more affordable, and way more of a fun month-long sleepover."
Staying at an Airbnb as opposed to a hotel also meant Xoee didn’t have to move rooms constantly and could really settle into Laurel Canyon, in the Hollywood hills, as opposed to the Forum, where the Harry Styles shows were throughout the month.
She adds: “By staying in this neighbourhood I got to explore a new part of LA, an experience that I would not have done if not for the LA residencies.” Xoee described the atmosphere created at the shows as "so special and sacred and addictive" that at the end of the last Harry Styles LA residency, it felt like the "end of summer camp".
Luckily, for the 15 show New York residency, Xoee was able to stay in her Brooklyn apartment with the venue only a subway ride away.
Xoee also made it a "priority" to continue on with Harry and 'Love on Tour', booking flights to Barcelona. She said: "I had a family wedding in Barcelona two days after Harry Styles was performing in the same city, which was incredibly lucky. I had the opportunity to work in Switzerland in 2021 and my flight back to the US had a layover through London, a week before Harry Styles was playing Wembley for the first time."
