I remember that after the split, Julian Banetta, who worked on a lot of One Direction\u2019s stuff, said something to me during the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas. I think he had too many vodkas with Red Bulls that day, but he said, \u2018Where do we go from here?\u2019 The \u2018we\u2019 upset me a little bit. I understand that we are all in this together, but that question is a lot deeper for me than it is for you,\u201d he said on the Life of a CEO podcast.<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\"><\/p>\n<p>ALSO READ: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"qbe-widget\" href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/music\/taylor-swift-is-so-happy-in-the-life-of-a-showgirl-that-she-made-the-same-song-12-times-over-10285161\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift is so happy in \u2018The Life of a Showgirl\u2019 that she made the same song 12 times over, and she does love Travis Kelce<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He continued, \u201cI still don\u2019t know the answer to that, and I don\u2019t think I will. A lot of people have this trajectory: the older they get, the more famous they are. The weird part was being 24 and realizing that the only way is down. There is no alternative reality where I keep up with or supersede what we had done, no chance. It was very obvious to the people around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis Tomlinson admitted that he doesn\u2019t have the kind of muscle he once did while he was a part of One Direction, but it doesn\u2019t really bother him. \u201cMaybe there are some things that I had then that I don\u2019t have now. I don\u2019t have a billboard for the album here in New York or in LA. I don\u2019t get those kinds of opportunities anymore, but am I bothered?

The last project I did \u2013 never in a million years did I think when I started my solo career that I would have a number one record. I always feel that I have had to work very hard to keep my head above water.
