Moments like these are so important because it reminds these deranged lunatics that they have no real power outside their online echo chambers. Super happy for Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran didn’t get to $400 million by turning somebody else’s stadium into his personal soapbox.
He’s the HEADLINER. His name is on the marquee. His tour. His stage. His audience. His crew. His business.
Macklemore asked to join the tour. Ed said yes. He was handed a massive platform and an audience he didn’t have to spend years building.
And somehow the opener confused being invited with being important.
Sweetheart, there’s a reason you’re the plus-one.
You didn’t build the tour. You didn’t sell the tickets. You didn’t create the audience. You didn’t bankroll the production. You were invited to open the damn show.
So maybe don’t walk into someone else’s house, grab the microphone, hijack the room, and then act shocked when the homeowner tells you to leave.
Ed built his platform. He earned his audience. He sells out stadiums. He pays his people. He puts on the show.
The openers can keep chasing political applause and internet validation.
But being loud doesn’t make you the star. Being invited doesn’t make it your platform.
There’s a reason one name is in giant letters on the marquee.
And there’s a reason yours is nowhere to be found.
🗣️ Javier Hernández:
“I have never seen a team get favored and protected like Argentina in a World Cup, ever in my lifetime.
I couldn’t believe my eyes watching that first half. I think it was Enzo Fernández who elbowed Elliott in the back of the head, and the referee stood there and did absolutely nothing—not even a yellow card.
They were playing dirty, committing foul after foul, yet no yellow cards were given. This makes Messi’s World Cup questionable because, if we’re being honest, Argentina has been getting protected since the group stage, and the same thing happened in the 2022 World Cup.
No one should be proud of winning a World Cup this way.”
