Harry Daniels’s TikToks of him singing awkwardly at stars alternate between trolling and displays of love for celebrities – but how does he do it?
Billie Eilish has run from him. Doja Cat stopped her security detail to allow for a sidewalk serenade of Paint the Town Red. Charli XCX let him sing a few bars from I Got It before telling him “You need to work on it,” turning on her heel, and strutting back to her car.
Harry Daniels stakes out celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding – and, uh, Joe Biden – and serenades them while filming their responses for TikTok. Most of these interactions appear spontaneous, as if the celebrities are genuinely surprised to be accosted by a 20-year-old man singing at them, usually terribly and oftentimes with their own songs. When Daniels found Jacob Elordi at a restaurant, the Saltburn star stayed across the room next to a bodyguard-type, looking amused but slightly wary as Daniels crooned Murder on the Dancefloor his way.
