Harry Styles, as we know, is a globetrotting superstar and he increasingly has the accent to prove it and fans constantly talk about the American twang to his usual northern English (Cheshire to be precise) accent.

As the 'Golden' singer has said, he feels most at home in his house in London, but, he spends so much of his life on the road and recorded loads of his second album, 'Fine Line' out in California where so many of his friends live.

When the 27-year-old accepted his award from Variety for 'Hitmaker of the Year' and recorded a video to thank fans and his team who helped create his smash second album.

Harry said: "This is a very strange and proud moment for me and for everyone I made the record with... I don't think any of us walked into he studio trying to make 'hits'."

"I think we try to make good music that we like."

"Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't and it's very cool to think that people liked some of the songs from the last album."

If you listen to the clip, it is the word 'and' that comes out pretty differently to everything else and it was pretty much all fans could talk about.

Some are mourning the growing loss of his British accent whilst other think the whole hybrid accent is kind of cute.

Then again, basically anything Haz does is considered cute.
