\n\tPost-show, Sheeran shared footage of the moment on Instagram<\/a>. The performance video shows the two musicians harmonizing on the chorus of \u201cThe A Team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBeen a fan of Olivia\u2019s since Drivers License blew my mind back at the start of 2021,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBoth albums are no skips for me, I\u2019m a proper fan. We 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOf his Friday night plans, Sheeran said, \u201cWas 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 honour and a privilege. Rock Glasto headline Sunday\u00a0@oliviarodrigo\u00a0, UK loves you x.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cyou are the best ever ed!!! appreciate you so much. last night was a blast,\u201d Rodrigo commented on the post Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso spotted at Rodrigo\u2019s Friday gig was a smiling Sabrina Carpenter who enjoyed the show from the balcony, as seen in photos published by the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe A Team,\u201d first released in 2011, was Sheeran\u2019s first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 16 in 2012.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Rodrigo\u2019s concert, on Saturday Sheeran posted another treat for fans on TikTok<\/a>: a short mashup of his \u201cPerfect\u201d with Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cHappier,\u201d sung together.<\/p>\n

\n\tSheeran previously praised<\/a> Rodrigo\u2019s 2021 breakthrough hit, \u201cDrivers License,\u201d as a flawless debut single, and noted both her debut and sophomore full-length albums, Sour and Guts, are \u201cunskippable\u2026 it\u2019s just, as a record, just a great record.\u201d<\/p>\n
