She will remember this every time she runs this route. I love Ed for the actions - and he obviously does too!❤

The real magic of this is that he didn't just sing the song, he sang it TO HER. He looked at her and engaged with her and intentionally made it a special moment just for her.

I’m a rock music fan but I recognise that Ed Sheehan is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. He’s guested with so many top performers who are more than happy to share a stage with this musical prodigy. And, he seems to be a really nice guy, in the hedonistic music world he inhabits. He played Glastonbury solo and owned the stage. Who else could do that?

Everything I see about this dude is positive and great vibrations. Seems like a really nice dude.

So cool and what a genuine person now we need to ask Ed and this lady to help sort the World out and bring more joy to all of us!

I met Ed Sheeran in Castle Rock, CO around 2010 with one of my best friends at a Qdoba. I had no idea who he was then but she was super excited, and he was super nice and let my friend get a picture with him. Thanks for being such a nice guy Ed!

This is the part of celebrity that I would want the most... Simply just being there and being kind can have such an impact on someone.

Her smile says it all, what a great surprise for someone that enjoys his music. He’s a great guy for doing that I bet he does that all the time. I’ll have to check out his music obviously has a lot of talent.

[DiscGoStu]

Absolutely amazing! Why can’t more celebrities be this down to earth and kind?
