Louis Tomlinson's Harry Love Tweet Is More Popular Than Obama

Four-year-old tweet from One Direction star is ahead of US president's campaign image...

Larry Stylinson will live forever in the hearts of many One Direction fans, whatever Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles say or do to disprove the relationship rumours.

And if any further proof were needed, how about the fact that a four-year-old tweet from Louis declaring his love for his bandmate is now the second-most-popular in Twitter history?

[related]The historic date in question was 2 October, 2011, and the message read (like you'd have forgotten): "Always in my heart @Harry_Styles. Yours sincerely, Louis"

Buzzfeed writer Matt Bellassi this week spotted that the shippers' dream tweet had become the second-most-retweeted message of all time on the social network - with only Ellen DeGeneres' Oscars selfie (a long way) in front.

It had 757,822 retweets at that time, compared to 757,460 for Barack Obama's "four more years" re-election tweet from 2012.

For the record, Ellen's picture has more than three million RTs - so looks safe for a little while yet.
