Harry Styles was delayed today and missed his flight to New York to spend time with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Say it ain’t so! Perhaps being in love has made Harry forgetful, because he apparently didn’t realize that his ID wasn’t with him until he arrived at Heathrow airport, at which point it was far too late to go back and get it in time for the next flight. According to the Sunday People, via New York Daily News, Harry had been driven to the airport by his mother after spending Christmas at home, but didn’t want to send her to get the passport, because that would take too long.

"He wanted to fly out that day so rather than Anne drive the journey back up north, he decided to get a courier bike to pick it up and bring it to him," a source told the tabloid. "If she had driven to get it, Harry would have missed the next flight too." Luckily, everything was resolved on time and the One Direction singer managed to get on the flight to join Taylor for a day or two before her scheduled performance on ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. The whole incident resulted only in a minor inconvenience and perhaps a little more time spent at the Duty Free for Harry. The perils of jett-setting, we suppose.
