Well that’s disappointing.

Yeah, that would be major news.

Hmm. Was Sheeran equally apolitical in 2022?

Responding publicly to Ukrainian band Antytila, whose members had joined Ukraine’s territorial defence, Sheeran said: “To all Ukrainians, I love you, I stand with you”, adding that he was proud to be taking part in the Concert for Ukraine fundraiser.

He described what followed the invasion as “devastating acts of violence,” called Ukraine “a proud and resilient country,” and said: “I stand with Ukraine.” He donated his YouTube royalties from the video to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

I’m terrified some day it’ll stop working and I’ll have to go back to regular YouTube!
