• Interviewer: Last year, you were named GQ‘s “Worst Dressed Male in Britain.” What was that experience like?
• Ed Sheeran: I haven’t really ever really tried that hard with the way I’ve dressed, so getting “worst dressed” wasn’t that surprising, but being on a list with a lot of other people—like a cross dresser and a member of Parliament—that was interesting. So yeah, I genuinely don’t really care that much about my appearance, so I wasn’t too fussed. But it did make me start wearing cleaner clothes!
• Interviewer: How do you deal with criticism regarding your fashion sense? What’s your advice to others?
• Ed Sheeran: I feel very sorry for women who are in the public eye because they can never wear the same thing twice, and that’s all I do. I just change clothes. I wash them and change them. With women, I don’t really know what to say: I’m sorry you all always have to wear new dresses. But don’t worry too much of what people think because fashions go in and out, and as long as you find something that suits you and you’re comfortable people will get used to it!
• Interviewer: Are there any female celebrities whose fashion sense you really admire?
• Ed Sheeran: I’ve never seen Taylor [Swift] look bad—even on off days when she’s just chilling, she’s so stylish!
• Interviewer: You do wear designer occasionally—any favorite labels?
• Ed Sheeran: I really like Ralph Lauren—I wear a lot of their hoodies. Element, it’s a skate brand. I like Nike trainers, and Burberry for suits.
• Interviewer: How has the Red tour been going? Have there been any crazy backstage moments?
• Ed Sheeran: We’ve got about 40 dates left, we’ve done like 26! It’s an experience. I was on Snow Patrol’s tour last year and this is very different. It’s a lot longer and a lot different. And no, it’s pretty professional backstage. People just do their jobs!
• Interviewer: Have you splurged on anything since you’ve made it big?
• Ed Sheeran: I got a house! That was cool—and some land.
• Interviewer: Your first album, “+”, is a major hit. What is the most meaningful song on it?
• Ed Sheeran: Having a song like “The A Team” which I wrote when I was 18 and being a worldwide hit is big for me, especially with the subject matter of the song, so definitely that!
