Can't wait to hear their new Christmas song!

[@MrSitemaster2]

@Unfortunately Toxic Ed and Elton.

[@thefaydou91]

Rip Mariah Carey lol

[@susankrznaric1869]

I love Ed Sheeran for his creativity, talent, and just being such a down-to-earth sweet guy. He's so wonderful!

[@hazelchild9463]

And paying tax. He stays in the UK and pays all the taxes he is meant to. Do you know how rare that is among the super rich? The man is basically funding education.

[@ANNtique]

Baby Lyra points to an orange and says “dada”. I mean, the likeness is uncanny 🤣 I ♥️Ed and love his new album

It's nice to see Ed Sheeran back in the game, I missed him

[@71hammyman]

I didn't, music for Simps, same with Adele, if it has their name on then people will buy/listen to it

[@ambermertens]

@@71hammyman yess because I obviously spend money to see his name on the cd, that's the whole purpose

[@kyestevens]

Elton John is such a good friend! Him checking up on Ed after the birth of his child and after Ed loss a good friend/music producer Michael Gudinski earlier this year. Im not even surprised as how he helped Eminem become sober in the late 00's. Truly a wholesome human being!

[@BEAUTIINBRAVERY]

I really like Ed Sheeran. He's so chill.

[@lewismorton1552]

He’s so chill he gives you the ‘shivers’ 😆

[@reeveharper6061]

yup he's so calming when he talks

[@leighlofgren7755]

Ed Sheehan is terrific and his song with Elton John is fabulous

[@Yotrek]

🤣 “points at an orange 🍊 and says Dada” 🤣 that’s hilarious.

[@fabiolaaa19]

He’s such a sweet person I love him as an artist and as a person. He looks so good and healthy and happy!

[@madeinbusanjkjm]

He looks so cute in that jumper.

He is loved all over the world , a great down to earth guy.

[@jacebrogden3490]

Ed Sheeran seems like one of the few celebrities/singers you could sit and chill with and forget they are so big. Just chill conversation and like text if he was in your town he would stop by and spend a little time catching up with you

[@karadiaz9264]

I absolutely love the album and how can you not love him? He is so genuine. I adore him.

[@HuongTran-jg7tw]

Ed has no idea how many times I have listened to Shivers. I AM OBSESSED

[@Ariel_dorsey]

4:35 you can tell how much Jimmy genuinely likes Ed

[@Dan-dd8cf]

He does that smile with most guests

[@elftower907]

he just loves people

[@saraelisabeth9038]

Ed as a dad is the sweetest 🥺 he loves his wife and daughter so much ❤️

[@joshualogan84]

That slip of the horse, literally laughed out loud.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Jimmy is so nice. Ed is so nice. This is just so wholesome and lovely.

[@julianlidberg7590]

1:42 ”You cold?” ”No, I just got the shivers”

[@Deisi666]

You can tell Ed is comfortable with Jimmy and I love seeing it.

[@terihenri7230]

Ed's so laid back he's wearing the same sneakers (trainers to my UK friends) that he wore over the weekend on SNL and seemingly doesn't care

[@anythingsart]

As he shouldn’t, a lesson to us all. If a millionaire doesn’t care about being to proud to wear same thing twice why should we? It literally means nothing. Be yourself and be proud no matter your age.

[@shyamcherrykshatriya7017]

Dude with full of positive vibes

[@hellostina]

I love him so much.

[@harding0010]

Sausage rolls for everyone with Ed and Sir Elton John is the best Christmas song this year.

[@felipecorpuz2476]

Remembering how he became who he is today, he deserves everything!

[@pammerle1691]

I love every song Ed has ever played/sang. The Lyrics of his songs are Amazing. I can listen to Ed talk for hours, I love his voice ;)

[@tanishkarnik8892]

Jimmy should have said he’s Shivering 😂

[@charlottesmith5760]

Ed is super talented! ❤🙌🏾

[@anythingsart]

Ed’s the best!

[@davidalt92]

Born in 92, I've loved Step Into Christmas by Elton since I can remember and loved Eds music since No.5 Collaborations Project, so when I heard the are collaborating for a Christmas song, I completely lost it

[@SweeranSwift]

Love Ed he is so adorable 😍

[@pinkb3rries]

*Awww, he's so sweet and adorable Teddy* 🧸🥺✨

[@F1macasilva]

I didn't get the tickets to this show, but I was there. I almost got it. I was at the same building as Ed Sheeran. And just knowing that was amazing!!

[@annakamenskaia269]

imagine elton john having to convince you to write a song. xoxo so much love to them both they're amazing

[@meireellen979]

Ed's such a nice guy 🥰

[@beccaantoine2116]

[@kurtissjacobs5618]

And George Michael's "Last Christmas."

[@bradleykearney2102]

I absolutely hate that song

[@Songs-lr4wt]

White Christmas is bigger and most sold song in history.
