Talks about One Direction's reunion resurfaced after Harry Styles' shocking move.
Since One Direction announced its indefinite hiatus in 2015, the band has not released any comeback music yet. Directioners have been patiently waiting for news about it, but they have not received any clear signs until Styles recently uploaded a photo of him.
On Sunday, the "Watermelon Sugar" hitmaker posted a mirror selfie taken from a gym while wearing a One Direction shirt from the band's 2012 Up All Night Tour. He immediately deleted it, but publications and fans immediately screenshot the picture.
As Styles removed it, fans talked about the blunder online and trended the phrase "HE DELETED IT" on Twitter. They also offered reactions after seeing the post, saying that it ignited their hopes for a One Direction reunion again.
