We love a famous friendship, and there are few as adorable as the bond between Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi. The duo are both incredibly talented musicians who've supported each other's careers for years. In an October 2019 interview with Glamour, Horan revealed how they met back in 2017, and it turns out he messaged Capaldi first. "We met on social media, I slid into his DMs," he explained. "My cousin showed me his music online when he had very small amount of views on a Vevo video." The former One Direction member invited Capaldi to do a Glasgow show with him. "First time I met him, I just thought he was a lunatic. It was Saint Patrick's Day, we'd a few beers," Horan remembered. Capaldi joked his friend was a "lovely chap" and "a lot smaller in real life." Horan remembered, "We got very drunk and then we both played a show the next day, which was fun."

Horan said of his "bromance" with Capaldi, "The Celtic vibes are strong. We get on very well." Ahead, we're breaking down some of the biggest and cutest moments in Horan and Capaldi's friendship.
