To celebrate the milestone anniversary, the band released a special new video highlighting their career.
The video follows 1D from their early video diaries to releasing their latest single ‘History’, including clips from music videos, live performances and candid behind the scenes video content, as well as their special relationship with Directioners.
One Direction also launched a new website, 10YearsOf1D.com, but fans have crashed the site all day from the demand of them wanting to check it out. As of the time of this posting, the site is still down, and shows the hashtag #DIRECTIONERSBREAKTHEINTERNET on the screen!
Starting tonight (July 25), newly enhanced 4k versions of music videos from each album will be released, starting with “What Makes You Beautiful”.

One Direction‘s 10th anniversary is coming in just less than a week!
While there has been much speculation and teasing of how the group is going to celebrate, we finally have some details.
According to Simon Jones PR, there will be a special 10 Years of One Direction website launching on their anniversary next Thursday (July 23).
They note it “will be an immersive and exciting interactive fan experience. The site will take the form of a timeline charting the history of the group, from the first audition right up to the start of their hiatus. It will host an archive of music videos, artwork, TV performances, behind-the-scenes and rarely-seen content, all in one place.”
A new celebration YouTube video will also be released that “will document highlights of the band’s career, from forming on The X Factor to releasing their single ‘History’, including clips from music videos, performances and candid behind the scenes video content. And of course the special relationship they have with their fans.”
In addition, One Direction will release new, reformatted EPs that will have b-side tracks, rare songs, remixes, live recordings and acoustic versions all grouped into one place, available on streaming platforms.
We can’t wait to see everything come together, and hope for more from the guys!!
Liam Payne shared a new TikTok video on Wednesday (July 1) and it features one of his One Direction band mates!
In the video clip, the 26-year-old singer went on FaceTime and called “H” before Harry Styles appeared on the screen.
Liam sported a bushy beard for the video, and unfortunately, there was no sound from a smiling Harry and it got awkward quick.
“Someone’s got the giggles, oh, that’s nice,” Liam says. “Alright, it’s getting weird now… speak to ya later?”
Though the video doesn’t appear to be an actual FaceTime call, it did bring some fans to be a little frustrated as they wait for the upcoming 10th anniversary of One Direction.
“Stop playing with my emotions like that,” one fan tweeted at Liam in all caps.
“july just started and ur already attacking me it’s going to be a long 23 days,” another fan wrote.
If you didn’t know, July 23rd marks the tenth anniversary of when One Direction was put together as a band on The X Factor, and Liam has previously hinted that the guys are planning something to commemorate the big day!
Louis Tomlinson is speaking out about the Black Lives Matter movement and the current state of the United States.
The 28-year-old singer took to social media to share a message with fans.
“As a white privileged man, I am fortunate to have been able to live my life without prejudice,” he started out. “I am appalled and deeply saddened by the police brutality that the world has witnessed over the past week that caused the death of George Floyd. It is disgusting that many people continue to live in fear purely due to the colour of their skin.”
“Enough is enough. I want to let the black community know that I stand with you, and with anyone protesting in support of racial equality,” Louis added. “To help support this I have made private donations to a number of charities. Here’s how you can help – blacklivesmatter.carrd.co”
“I am with you. Black Lives Matter. All my love, Louis,” he concluded.
I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers. Look inwards, educate yourself and others. LISTEN, READ, SHARE, DONATE and VOTE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
THUGS ?? these people are protesting against the fact that one of YOUR animalistic white policemen kneeled on George’s windpipe and forced him to stop breathing and killed him?? THUGS???? Are you listening to yourself?
Racism has been rampant for hundreds of years, it’s just that in this century people have camera phones to video it. It’s absolutely disgusting that you get mistreated because of the colour of your skin. You would think that those that are there to protect us, would protect.
One Direction fans are flocking to Twitter to share some pretty fun memes and realizations!
It was announced earlier today that Zayn Malik and girlfriend Gigi Hadid are expecting their first baby.
Fans noticed that this makes the 27-year-old former 1D member the third in the group to become a dad, after Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.
Now, One Direction fans have been sharing funny tweets pointing out that Harry Styles and Niall Horan are the last two band members to have kids, and pointing out how single they are.
“Harry and Niall are the only ones who aren’t dads and it’s STAYING that way,” one fan wrote.
“Harry and Niall going on twitter tomorrow and realizing they are STILL the single (and childless) ones and bracing themselves for the questions they’ll have to answer on coming interviews
@NiallOfficial @Harry_Styles,” another fan wrote, along with a GIF of Harry and Niall hugging.

During an Instagram Live call, the 26-year-old singer shared that Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan have some special plans in the works, but Zayn would be absent from them, The Sun reports.
“Most of us are in London. We’ve been trying to arrange the first group FaceTime at the moment,” Liam shared while chatting with DJ Alesso.
He then added that Alesso could “come and fill in for Zayn, join the band.”
While nothing else was mentioned on Zayn‘s participation, Liam did admit that Louis did call him out for spilling reunion plans.
“I can’t say too much it was actually Louis told me off for revealing a bit about our plans the other day. So I had a group telling off on the group chat,” he added.
Liam, Louis, Harry and Niall did all just re-followZayn, who left the band in 2014, on social media.
