We totally understand how the headline must have had all the One Direction fans go nuts with even the remote possibility of having a virtual reunion of one of the most loved bands, One Direction.

Recently, former band member Harry Styles caught up with SiriusXM and made One Direction fans everywhere swoon while discussing the likeliness of the band, which is comprised of Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, reuniting over a Zoom call for a social distancing-inspired performance.

When asked how he felt about the idea, the "Adore You" singer replied, "I don't know if that's the reunion we had in mind. I don't know if that would be the way to do it." But that doesn't mean he's not open to it. Harry added, "I'll have a quick whip-round."

Back in 2015, One Direction announced the band was embarking on an extended hiatus to "work on individual projects for a while." Despite speculation that they were splitting up for good, a source told E! News at the time that "they will remain together and plan to work together in the future." This news came months after Zayn left the group in hopes to "have some private time out of the spotlight," according to the statement he made via Twitter.

While on the line, Harry also provided an update on the status of his "Watermelon Sugar" music video, which he was spotted filming in January. "I'm not sure exactly, but not too long," he said of its expected release. "A few more weeks, a couple months maybe. But we just kind of finished it and I'm really excited about it, so I'm looking forward to putting that out."

Grateful that the video was shot before practicing social distancing, Harry predicted what it would look like had he shot it now. "It could get a little—it would be a little different," he joked. "I was with a lot of people in the video, so if it kind of switched now, second half is just me inside. It would be a very different video from what it is now, that's for sure."

We certainly hope the virtual reunion does happen!
