Did you know that Harry Styles’ debut solo song broke records? It was a huge deal when he released “Sign of the Times” in 2017. The song is a slow-burning rock track that draws on the deep sound of 1970s British and Glam Rock artists like David Bowie.
Courtney Hadwin’s live cover of this song is not just a musical choice. It is her way of connecting to that new, modern rock energy.

Courtney’s choice of the song and her outfit make a powerful statement. Harry Styles is famous for wearing clothes that do not follow old rules about what men or women should wear. Courtney matches this feeling by wearing a structured, plaid blazer and pants. This suit looks nods to the androgynous style of Mod and Glam Rock, showing she has rock confidence.
Fans who watched Courtney on America’s Got Talent saw her grow even more. One viewer shared, “Her sound is so much more refined than when she appeared on AGT. She’s getting better and better with time.” Another viewer felt her emotion, saying, “She has grown into such a beautiful young lady.” Fans agreed that this performance was Beautiful.”
