Over the last two days the entertainment world was in shock as it was reported that New Zealand-born, Gold Coast-raised singer Kelsy Karter had boldly declared her love for Harry Styles by getting a tattoo of the pop star’s face on her right cheek.
Discussing the tattoo on The Edge Afternoon Show, Karter said she simply wanted to “express” her love for the former One Direction star. “I just wear my heart on my cheek and I couldn’t really control what went on from there,” she said. “As a fellow musician, I really respect what he’s doing for rock ‘n’ roll. I’m a female in the modern day movement of rock ‘n’ roll and he’s exposed the kids to sounds they might have not otherwise heard. “Because he came from the pop world and did a rock ‘n’ roll album, it’s opened doors for people like me. I really respect what he’s doing and love what he’s doing – and he’s nice to look at.”
But there was still a sign of disbelief from fans, and this morning Kelsy Karter set the record straight about whether or not the tattoo was actually real or fake.
