#NiallTODAY: Niall Horan Rocks Out At The TODAY Show Plaza
This memorial day morning, May 29th, Niall Horan performed at the TODAY Show plaza in New York City, as a part of the Citi Concert Series. Niall is the second member of One Direction to perform solo in the Citi Concert Series, following his bandmate Harry Styles who opened the Citi Concert Series.
Judging by his Twitter activity, Niall has been excited for this performance for months and he probably didn’t get much sleep last night; just like his fans who waited out on the street all night. Niall was so excited that he even posted a cheeky video to Twitter that included him trying out his New Yorker accent.
Tomorrow morning on the plaza . Cannot wait .@TODAYshow

Horan’s fans definitely showed their dedication and support last night as they wrapped up in their rain ponchos and lined up down the streets of New York City, waiting for the brown-haired singer. Niall took notice of these fans sitting in the cold weather and he took to Twitter to show his thanks and appreciation.

Niall touched the hearts of thousands as he dedicated his performance of “This Town” to the victims of the Manchester bombing. The singer said, “Before I start, I would like to dedicate it to the people who lost their lives in Manchester last week. It was a very sad thing, so I just, it’s the least I can do is dedicate this song.”

To make the whole world’s day even better, Niall performed a One Direction classic; “Best Song Ever”. Not only our are hearts melting, but this surprise performance just shows that Niall Horan has many more surprises up his sleeve for the near future.

Overall, Niall’s performance wowed the crowd and left fans hungry for his full-length debut album. He even hinted at releasing some more new music this fall. We especially can’t wait for more music from solo Niall and more eclectic performances like this one.
