It’s common knowledge that Ed Sheeran is a gift from God. Handmade by our lord and saviour with beautiful red hair, long finger to pick guitar strings, and the voice of an angel. What makes Ed such a perfect artist isn’t just his care-free fashion sense, acoustic skills, or even his voice, it’s his versatility. Ed can literally sing anything and it will sound amazing. And while we love Ed singing his own songs, we love him even more when he covers other artists. If you know anything about Ed, he loves singing other people’s songs and making them his own. Only a really great artist can cover One Direction and Jay Z. Here are 13 times Ed Sheeran covered songs and totally made us question our love for the original. He is quite literally perfection.
