Sheeran has performed with Elton John at the Grammyโs when his songย โThe A Teamโย was nominated for the category- โSong of the Yearโ.
Sheeran has grabbed two Grammy Awards in the form of ย Song of the Yearย andย Best Pop Solo Performanceย for his singleย โThinking Out Loudโย from the album โxโ. Heย has very quickly established his own record label company- Gingerbread Man Records. His fans are known asย Sheerios. Gordon Burns,ย the host of the British game showย The Krypton Factor,ย is Edโs second cousin. Edโs songs โNinaโ and โPhotographโ are about his ex-girlfriendย Nesbitt and her album โPeroxideโ is mostly aboutย himself. Tayor Swift approached him after his tour in Australia and together, they wrote the song โEverything has changedโ which was a part of her best-selling album of 2012, โRedโ. He got โRedโ tattooed because of the opportunity. Ed engraved a tattooย of a โpadlockโย onย Harry Styleโs wrist. His song โSmall Bumpsโ is inspired by a true story of his friend when they had a miscarriage. He wrote the song stepping into their shoes. So is the story behind โThe A Stateโ, which is based on a homeless drug addict woman. He has a big crush onย Emma Stone. Ed andย Taylor Swiftย get along really well and have thus recorded three songs together. Other than โEverything has changedโ, they havenโt released any of the songs.
