Liam Payne’s dancing at a Niall Horan concert in October 2024 has sparked some online criticism, particularly from One Direction fans. While attending Horan’s show in Argentina, Liam was seen dancing and enjoying the performance from a private box, which some fans felt took attention away from Niall’s moment in the spotlight. Critics on social media called him out for “attention-seeking” behavior, with one user commenting that Payne would “always be a loser” in their eyes.
Payne defended his appearance at the concert by explaining it was an opportunity to reconnect with his former bandmate after some time apart. He even expressed that he and Niall had things to talk about, clarifying that there were no “bad vibes” between them​​​​. Despite this, some fans were less than impressed, with comparisons drawn to his past behaviors and public image​​.
