\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘one of my fav songs ever’\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“To still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honor and a privilege,” Sheeran says of Friday’s duet of 2011 debut single<\/p>\n
\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a> is set to headline Glastonbury this Sunday, but first the Guts singer staged a sold-out show Friday at Hyde Park, London\u2019s British Summer Time, where she brought out surprise guest Ed Sheeran<\/a> to perform \u201cThe A Team.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI want to introduce one of my favorite Brits and one of the best songwriters of all time,\u201d Rodrigo said before bringing out Sheeran. With both singers sporting acoustic guitars, the pair trades verses on Sheeran\u2019s 2011 hit and debut single, which Rodrigo said on social media is \u201cliterally one of my fav songs ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhat a joy and honor to sing with [Sheeran] last night,\u201d Rodrigo added. \u201cNobody is cooler and more talented.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBeen a fan of Olivia\u2019s since Drivers License blew my mind back at the start of 2021. Both albums are no skips for me, I\u2019m a proper fan,\u201d Sheeran added on Instagram.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe first met at the rock and roll hall of fame back in 2022, sat next to each other with her mum and my dad and went on to hang and keep in touch from there. Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honor and a privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSheeran continued, \u201cRock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviarodrigo, UK loves you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘one of my fav songs ever’ “To still be playing it to new fans with one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,10582,393,4884,257,29683,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-221449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-ed-sheeran","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-olivia-rodrigo","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
