Why I Love Ed Sheeran
Rolling Stone

Everyone knows who Ed Sheeran is. How can you not when he has had hits like "The A-Team," "Sing," "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud." Okay, even if you don't listen to music you could still recognize him as the ginger British kid.

2011 was the year "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" came out, and being as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am, I was on Twitter reading tweets about the movie, going through some PTSD that it was over. But anyway, I stumbled upon a video with Rupert Grint in it (Ron Weasley), "Lego House." So obviously I watched it, not knowing that the video would make a huge impact on my life.


This was the first time I saw one of Ed's music videos and I was instantly hooked. This video led me to watching literally every YouTube video that Ed Sheeran is in.

So here are a few reasons why I love him:

1. He's a huge celebrity, but he does not care about what people think of him. He is true to himself and never lets us forget that. He reminds us that it's not what people look like that's important. He was named worst dressed by GQ and he didn't mind,he still has one of the best voices in the game right now.


2. His lyrics never cease to amaze me. His songs and lyircs range from sweet love songs like "Thinking Out Loud" to hip-hop vibes like "Sing" to spitting some sick lyrics like he does in "Take It Back." Basically what I'm saying is that he can sing the alphabet and it would be beautiful.


3. Despite his fame, he's just a person like us, which he shows us time and time again.

4. OK, let's be honest, his voice is majestic. Here is a video displaying his beautiful range


5. His concerts are amazing. I got the pleasure of seeing him live this past summer in Philadelphia. There was a point in the concert where his guitar string broke and he did not let that stop the show in any way. He took off the guitar, and continued to "Sing" (no pun intended there).

6. Speaking of his concerts, it is only him on stage up there. He does not have any back up singers or band. It's just him, his guitar, and a loop pedal.


7. Ed overcame a stuttering problem he had when he was a child. However, he did not let that let him stop chasing after his dream. This shows how incredibly motivated he was to pursue his passion of singing no matter how many setbacks he has had.

8. Also, have you heard any of his mashups? He combines 50 Cent's"In Da Club" Iggy's "Fancy" with his song "You need me, I don't need you." He combines Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" with his "Take It Back." He combines.. okay you get the picture. He combines songs that normally wouldn't be combines yet he does it perfectly. This is one of my personal favs.


9. Oh yeah, tbt to that time he played little orphan Annie on Jimmy Kimmel Live. What celebrity would wear a dress on live television? Ed Sheeran that's who.


10. Finally, who wouldn't love this face?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
