In a heartwarming twist, global pop sensation Ed Sheeran recently stepped away from his sold-out stadium shows to visit a third-grade classroom in Brooklyn, New York. On October 22, 2025, Sheeran joined the students at PS20 as part of the "Celebrity Substitute" series, teaching them the fundamentals of rhythm and sound.
Aware that he may not command the same authority as the students' regular teacher, Sheeran embraced his role as the "big Pokemon-loving adult kid" and connected with the class through interactive music-making. Using his trusty loop rig, the singer-songwriter guided the students in clapping out rhythms, creating unique sounds, and ultimately composing an original song about their morning routine.
The 15-minute session was a resounding success, with the students enthusiastically participating and the teachers praising Sheeran's pedagogical skills. By the end, the class had produced a charming, collaborative track that is sure to be the "cutest thing you see all day."
