And at the same time Louis tweeted:
"Had a special day today with my birthday boy. Thanks for all the lovely messages!"
Some inquisitive fans have noticed that none of Louis' bandmates or close friends congratulated him on "the special day". Not even Steve Aoki, his "brother for life", who has been really active on the social media recently and vocal about anything connected with Louis.
What is more, on the same day, Louis went to Craig Davis concert and took numerous photos with fans. And then, he and his pals enjoyed themselves at the Bootsy Bellows club.
If it is true that Louis has always been trying to break the fourth wall* and tell the fans more than he is allowed to in the official narrative, we should pay attention to what he said in one of his recent interviews:
"...and the fans put the pieces together, before, y'know, there's any kind of announcement, or anything like that, y'know. They'd be, like, even if we're just back and forth, liking each other's photos on instagram, to them, they know exactly what that means, y'know."
So, for the umpteenth time Louis has implied that they are watching the social media closely and that the fourth wall does not exist. If so, what happened yesterday is meaningful.

*The fourth wall is a performance convention in
which an invisible, imagined wall separates actors from the audience. The actors ignore the audience, focus their
attention exclusively on the dramatic world, and remain absorbed in its
fiction. "Breaking the fourth wall"
is any instance in which this performance convention is violated. This can be
done through either directly referencing the audience or the work the
characters are in.
