Harry Styles is paying it forward in a big way after millions of fans came out to support him during his record-breaking Love on Tour.

The "Daylight" singer, 29, raised and donated more than $6.5 million to a long list of charities and nonprofit organizations around the world, including Planned Parenthood, Save the Children, Black Minds, Choose Love, the Sydney Zoo and Every Town for Gun Safety, according to Sony Music.

Styles' concert series — which kicked off in September 2021 and spanned nearly three years and a staggering 173 shows — also made history by becoming the fourth-highest-grossing concert tour of all time. More than 5 million people attended the shows across the U.S., the U.K., South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Highlights of the tour include 20 sold-out nights at New York City's Madison Square Garden, 18 nights at Los Angeles' Kia Forum, six nights at London’s Wembley Stadium and a two-day headline slot at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Amid Love on Tour, the "Watermelon Sugar" crooner enjoyed many other career highs. At the 2023 Grammy Awards in February, he took home the coveted award for album of the year for Harry's House.

"This doesn't happen to people like me very often," Styles said after taking the stage to accept the award presented by host Trevor Noah and a lineup of fans. "This is so, so nice, thank you."

Before passing the mic to the producers of his third studio album, the One Direction alum also took time to express that he doesn't go into the studio thinking about whether he will win awards and added that "there's no such thing as best."

In addition, Styles' first single off Harry's House, "As It Was," spent 15 weeks on the top of the U.S. music charts. The infectious pop song also hit No. 1 in 32 other countries.
