Which Radiohead Song Did Harry Styles Lose His Virginity To?

Styles said Radiohead’s 1996 track played during his first sexual experience, and the audience laughed as he honored Thom Yorke.

  • On Thursday, May 21, 2026, Harry Styles revealed at the Ivor Novello Awards in London that he lost his virginity to Radiohead's 1996 song "Talk Show Host" while honoring Thom Yorke, who received an Academy Fellowship.
  • Styles spent his five-minute speech elaborating on Radiohead's profound influence on his own career, claiming his 2019 hit "Watermelon Sugar" would not exist without the band's 1997 track "Exit Music ."
  • The singer hilariously clarified that the intimate encounter lasted only as long as the Radiohead B-side's intro, jokingly noting he did not sleep with anyone from the band during his first time.
  • Amid the award speech, engagement news broke that Styles is engaged to Kravitz after eight months of dating, following rumors that sparked in April 2026 when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring.
  • Reflecting on his career, Styles told Better Homes & Gardens in 2022 that he moved past shame about his sex life, believing people should not need to label or clarify personal experiences.
