Ed later shared the unforgettable moment on his Instagram page where he expressed his love for Shilpa Rao’s talent. The Perfect singer captioned the video, “Obsessed with @shilparao’s voice for the last while, a real privilege to share the stage tonight, and learn a new language!”
Shilpa Rao commented, “Artists always spread love. And it was absolutely that tonight. @teddysphotos you are coolness personified. Thank you for the love and warmth. Much love.” A fan wrote, “Give this man aadhaar card.” Next comment read, “My man is speed running Indian languages at this point.” Another fan commented, “He’s more Indian than I am at this point.” Another fan commented on the video, “Ed singing in Telugu wasn’t in my 2025 bucket list.” “Ed sang in Telugu as Revenge for church street,” commented a fan.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran was stopped by a cop on Sunday as he performed outside a church on the streets of Bengaluru. The cop said he didn’t have the permission to perform. But the Shape of You singer took to Instagram to clarify. Ed wrote, “We had permission to busk btw, hence us playing in that exact spot, was planned out before, it wasn’t just randomly turning up. All good though. See ya at the show tonight x”.
