Music stars Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo showered each other with compliments following their joint performance on Thursday.
Ed Sheeran took to Instagram to share a video from the stage, expressing his long-standing admiration for Rodrigo. “Been a fan of Olivia’s since Drivers License blew my mind back at the start of 2021. Both albums are no skips for me, I’m a proper fan,” he wrote.
Sheeran recounted their first meeting: “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.” He revealed how the collaboration came about: “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 honour and a privilege. Rock Glasto headline Sunday Olivia Rodrigo, UK loves you x.”
Olivia Rodrigo responded to Sheeran’s Instagram post, commenting, “you are the best ever ed!!! appreciate you so much. last night was a blast.”
She later continued her praise on Instagram Stories, sharing a picture with the British singer and writing, “What a joy and honor to sing with Ed Sheeran last night. There’s nobody cooler and more talented.”
