Oh yeah, but the band itself disbanded very quickly and only Styles remained really famous (I don't even remember the names of the other ones off the top of my head). He himself is just like Swift in that they're very popular nowadays because of their great timing with YouTube, catchy songs and very well produced videoclips, though 1D also had that thing where every cishet man decided they were the spawn of the devil and that made their careers very complicated. They're also still very active and competent, they're today kind of what Michael Jackson was in the late 90s/early 2000s, but without all the tabloid racism.
