So apparently, Ed Sheeran—the human acoustic guitar and cinnamon roll of the music world—has never headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Shocking, right? The man who gave us romantic anthems and the soundtrack to every wedding since 2011? Never graced the big sporty stage. But plot twist: he was asked to tag along with someone else. Basically, they wanted him to be musical parsley on someone else’s Halftime plate.

In the latest episode of “Call Her Daddy,” Ed sat down with host Alex Cooper to spill the lukewarm tea. When asked if he’d ever been asked to headline, Ed was like, “There was a convo like, ten years ago about maybe joining someone else’s set.” (Translation: he was invited to stand awkwardly in the background while someone more bedazzled danced around.)

But when it comes to headlining solo? Ed said nah. And not just any “nah.” A British nah. Like the kind of polite “no” that’s actually code for, “I’d rather eat a crumpet in a thunderstorm.”

“I just don’t think people wanna see me walk out and be like, ‘Here’s ‘The A Team’… and now for some sad love songs,’” Ed basically said, imagining himself serenading 70,000 hyped-up nacho-fueled football fans with a ballad about heartbreak and heroin.

He admitted that some English artists could probably pull it off—cough Elton John in a glittery cape cough—but he’s not that guy. Ed’s vibe is more “cozy campfire sing-along,” not “pyrotechnics and backup dancers dressed as giant footballs.”

And honestly? Respect. We don’t need Ed Sheeran trying to twerk mid-guitar solo while lasers shoot out of his acoustic. Let him stay in his lane: writing songs that make you cry in your car.
