    Watch: Ed Sheeran Says He’ll Only Perform at the Super Bowl If He’s ‘Joining Someone Else’

    Ed Sheeran has spoken out on how not keen he is to perform at Super Bowl Halftime Show at the moment, even though others may consider it to be a career milestone.

    Sitting in an interview with Andy Cohen and talking about the possibility on Andy Cohen’s Deep & Shallow Podcast on SiriusXM ahead of a special performance in New York, the 32 year old singer-songwriter said: “I think that would be the only way that I would do it, is if I was joining someone else.”

    The “Shape of You” hitmaker elaborated “I don’t have pizzazz,” he said, mentioning how his live show doesn’t necessarily compare to other iconic Halftime stars like Prince, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. “Like, all of these amazing performers — I’m just not that. I’m not gonna have dancers on stage. I’m not gonna have fireworks and blah blah.”

    Sheeran continued to say: “I just can’t, that’s not me. I don’t think that anyone wants to see me do the Super Bowl either.” After joking that he “could wear sparkles for it,” he repeated. He said he thinks he would do it as a guest.

    Ed also went on to confirm he had once been in talks to be a guest at a recent Halftime show. He shared that for Super Bowl 50 in 2016, in which Coldplay, Beyoncé and Bruno Mars played, there was consideration that he would join the British band to play his song “Thinking Out Loud.”

    He also shared on the podcast about the rerecording of one of his collaborations with Taylor Swift. When Cohen asked if he had already recorded a new version of “End Game,” his song with the pop star and the rapper Future on her 2017 album Reputation, he said, “No, I haven’t. No. No. But 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is the next one coming out. That’s the next one.”
