Ed Sheeran Teases New Song With Rupert Grint Ahead of PLAY Album

Ed Sheeran has sparked widespread intrigue and excitement by teasing a new, unreleased song in an Instagram Reel alongside his longtime lookalike, Rupert Grint, known for his role as Ron Weasley in Harry Potter. The duo appears in matching floral shirts, lip-syncing emotionally charged and unusually bitter lyrics, hinting at a departure from Sheeran's typical style. This teaser is widely believed to be part of Sheeran's upcoming album PLAY, set for release on September 12, which also includes singles like 'Azizam' and 'Sapphire.' Sheeran's collaboration with Grint is notable, as the two previously worked together on the 2011 music video for 'Lego House.' Despite a brief social media security breach that led to some unauthorized posting of the new music, Sheeran's team decided to keep the track online due to its strong appeal. Additionally, Sheeran is contributing an original song to the Zootopia 2 soundtrack, further marking a busy and creative period for the artist.
