Why was Liam in Argentina?
Payne was visiting his former bandmate Niall Horan, who was in the country on tour.

Payne attended Horan's show, posting social media videos of himself and girlfriend Kate Cassidy singing and dancing at the concert.
He documented much of his trip on Snapchat, including pictures of food, plans to play polo, and jokes about his hair.
