Ed Sheeran Admits to Having a Secret 'Finsta' to Stay Plugged Into Music and Culture

According to a recent interview, popular singer Ed Sheeran has been maintaining a secret 'Finsta' (fake Instagram) account to stay connected with his diverse interests, including British rap music, Irish folk music, and watch blogs. The 34-year-old artist, who is known for his active presence on various social media platforms, revealed that he created the Finsta profile to ensure he doesn't miss out on new music and emerging artists.

Sheeran explained that without the Finsta, he felt he was missing out on a lot of cultural and musical content that he enjoys. The "Shape of You" singer stated that his algorithm on the secret account is tailored to his specific interests, allowing him to stay engaged with the areas of the internet that truly captivate him.

While Sheeran has taken several social media breaks in the past, he has been less active online in recent years due to some "turbulent things" happening in his personal life. The father of two admitted that he didn't feel like "pretending to be something I'm not" on social media during those difficult times. However, the singer remains committed to maintaining his Finsta account as a way to stay plugged into the music and cultural landscape that he is passionate about.
