According to Britain’s Daily Record, teenage fan Jade Anderson from East Kilbride confessed to throwing the shoe that hit her idol. “I just wanted him to touch something belonging to me,” the teen told Daily Record. “I didn’t mean to hit him where I hit him, I’m really embarrassed.” The young girl was almost kicked out of the arena, but Styles intervened and Anderson stayed for the show.

By accident, I have become completely obsessed with the psychology behind the moment when a fourteen year old girl at a boy band concert decides she should throw her shoe onstage. That seems silly, but I’m thinking about it in the context of those reviews that call 1D sexless and of some societal idea of what sexuality is and looks like and what a young girl should be attracted to or should not be and how that is displayed and the taught mannerisms and, like, throwing panties or bras onstage is obvious and the sexual connotation there is understood by everyone involved, it’s marked and culturally coded and really an expected behavior for the audience of an act like One Direction, but there’s no such easily located logic behind taking your shoe off and throwing it at Harry Styles except, like, “I just wanted him to touch something belonging to me,” which is really the most perfect thing I have ever heard and I want to write a dissertation about it except, nah, jk, I have a lot of gifs to look at.

Also, Harry “Leftist Teen Angel Sex Kitten Beanstalk” Styles intervened with security and let her stay because of course he did, christ.
