See Olivia Rodrigo, Ed Sheeran Perform ‘The A Team’ Together in London
‘one of my fav songs ever’
“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
Olivia Rodrigo is set to headline Glastonbury this Sunday, but first the Guts singer staged a sold-out show Friday at Hyde Park, London’s British Summer Time, where she brought out surprise guest Ed Sheeran to perform “The A Team.”
“I want to introduce one of my favorite Brits and one of the best songwriters of all time,” Rodrigo said before bringing out Sheeran. With both singers sporting acoustic guitars, the pair trades verses on Sheeran’s 2011 hit and debut single, which Rodrigo said on social media is “literally one of my fav songs ever.”
“What a joy and honor to sing with [Sheeran] last night,” Rodrigo added. “Nobody is cooler and more talented.”
“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,” Sheeran added on Instagram.
“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. 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.”
Sheeran continued, “Rock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviarodrigo, UK loves you.”
