I have this problem where I obsess over things way too easily and lose interest just as quickly. But I've loved Ed Sheeran for as long as I can remember and I don't think that this obsession is ever going away. Here's just a few of the reasons why:
1. His lyrics
In a generation where the phrase "Netflix and Chill" exists, Ed brings romance back into music. I mean c'mon, people, he writes them himself.
2. His glorious red hair
I may be biased because I love red hair, but Ed's is probably why I love red hair so much. It's perfectly messy and unkempt and adorable.
3. His crazy tattoos
They all have something to do with his career, including his new giant Cecil the Lion tattoo on his chest. Which for him, celebrates his sold out show at Wembly Stadium. You can listen to him explain it on Ellen here.
This picture is reason number 3.5 because I mean just look at him in all his shirtless, cowboy hat glory.
4. He wrote "Love Yourself" with Justin Bieber and it's my new jam, tbh.
As if Justin's new album, "Purpose" wasn't already amazing this song just makes it. Listen to it. Seriously. You won't be disappointed.
5. The way he responds to the media
This just proves how he really does not care what people think of him. He does what's right for him and what makes him happy. We can all learn a lesson from that.
On that note...
6. His fashion sense
Flannel on flannels on flannels.. but I'm not complainin'. *heart eyes emoji*
7. His Snapchat stories
This pretty much says it all.
Benny set me up a snapchat. This could end badly, my username is teddysdaytoday if anyone is interested in seeing what I eat

8. His adaptability
He's a musical chameleon. He transitions so easily and somehow makes whatever he does sound amazing.
9. He is just so relatable
His twitter account is GOLD.
10. He loves cats
He devoted an entire music video to getting drunk with his cat bUT LOOK AT THIS AT THIS GIF. JUST LOOK AT THE CUTENESS. Plus also the Grumpy Cat hat.
11. This version of "Wake Me Up" Live at the Bedford
I may have listened to this 1 million times.
12. He sounds just as amazing live as he does on his albums
I have seen Ed in concert twice and he has never disappointed. He uses a loop pedal and an acoustic guitar and that's it. But somehow he makes it work flawlessly.
But, my life would not be the same without his music. His lyrics speak to me in a way other music can't and these are just a few of the reason why I'm such a fan.
Carry on.
