Much like their other ‘At Their Very Best’ shows, which have seen the band joined by Taylor Swift and Charli XCX, a knock at the door of the on-stage house was heard and a video played out jokingly introducing Capaldi as Harry Styles.
The singer-songwriter then performed Matty Healy and co’s 2013 track ‘Antichrist’ before he went on to cover Swift’s 2008 single ‘Love Story’. You can view footage below.
