Celebrities, they’re similar to us. Look no additional than mega-selling pop friends Elton John and Ed Sheeran, who posted a candy video on Wednesday (Dec. 13) of their annual reward trade. The 82-second clip opens with Sheeran in a darkish blue puffer jacket getting ready to go watch a soccer match between Ipswich City and Watford with John.
“And I’ve introduced him some Christmas presents,” Sheeran says. As he arrives on the stadium, Sheeran reveals that he’s gotten John a basic vacation reward: an unpleasant sweater (or “jumper” as they name them in England.) Requested by his companion if he thinks the famously fashionable John will put on it, Sheeran laughs, “I doubt it.”
Reduce to the 2 exchanging packages, Merry Christmases, a hug and “I like you”s earlier than Sheeran exhibits off his really horrible Christmas-themed Watford sweater and John proudly holds up his snowflake-decked Ipswich City prime; Sheeran is famously an Ipswich supporter. “Simply what I needed… A Watford jumper!” Sheeran enthuses as John busts out the Ipswich nickname, “come on you Tractor Boys!”
The 2 then hit the stands, the place they carry out an impromptu little bit of John’s “Your Tune” — and Sheeran steals John’s well-known spectacles as a prank — earlier than Ed raises his first in victory after his group bested Watford 2-1. An irritated John, who purchased the Watford group within the Seventies and served as its chairman and president for greater than 25 years, shakes his head in resignation on the outcome.
The chums share yet one more hug and Sheeran sings a little bit of their hit new vacation basic, “Merry Christmas,” which went straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Grownup Modern chart in 2021.
