Ed Sheeranis weighing in on American award shows.
On Tuesday, Sheeran, 30, revealed his feelings about awards shows days after the VMAs in an interview onAudacy’s “The Julia Show,” explaining that the atmosphere at them “uncomfortable,” compared to British ones.
“The room is filled with resentment and hatred toward everyone else and it’s quite an uncomfortable atmosphere,” the “Shivers” singer said.
He also added that this isn’t something he’s ever experienced back home.
“In England, our award shows are just like, everyone gets drunk and no one really cares who wins or loses, it’s just sort of a good night out,” the “Bad Habits” singer said.
According to Sheeran, he isn’t the only one who feels this way.
“People get the same feeling as me at those award shows,” he said. “I’ve spoken to people and they’re like, ‘I just felt really depressed afterward.’ The atmosphere is just not nice… It’s a really, really horrible atmosphere to be in there. I always walk away feeling sad and I don’t like it.”
