Harry Styles got in a chauffeured car and headed to Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon, and the 19-year-old singer was en route to Colombia, where One Direction will be kicking off their Where We Are stadium tour on Friday.

Though Harry was able to fly under the radar in LA, apparently there were hoards of fangirls waiting for him and the other 1D boys at the airport in South America. Hey, they're used to it by now, and things are going to blow up even more once the tour gets underway. "It's starting really soon," Harry tweeted after landing last night.

But what's this about Harry leaving 1D?! Apparently One Republic singer/songwriter Ryan Tedder worked with Harry on a "top secret project," and though one of the UK tabloids jumped to conclusions and suggested that Harry is quitting the band, it seems like Tedder's words simply got twisted around. "Oh my God, I have no idea," he replied when asked if Harry was leaving the group. "I've never had any conversations with him or any of them regarding that."

Whew!
