Cheerin’ for Sheeran: Ed Takes on Gillette

The highlight of the night was when Ed brought out a very special guest performer. After a short speech about how exciting it is to meet and perform with his musical influences, he brought out Chris Martin (Coldplay), to the sheer delight of the audience. They sang a duet of Sheeran’s smash hit “Thinking Out Loud,” with Sheeran on guitar and Martin on piano. They then sang Coldplay’s “Yellow” (a crowd favorite). This was the cherry on top of a fabulous evening.

If you are an Ed Sheeran fan, I would wholeheartedly recommend seeing his show the next time he returns to the states. He put 110% into his performance, despite the fact that he’s been doing the same routine multiple nights a week for months. He really gave the impression that he loves his fans and appreciates how far they’ve brought him. At the end of his encore performance he talked about how his first show in the U.S. drew in a crowd of a whopping 175 people. And now he sold out his first-ever NFL stadium.

Can’t wait to see where he goes next. Cheers, Ed!
