"I&amp;#x27;ve gushed about Ed Sheeran to you before&amp;amp;#8212;seriously, if you haven&amp;#x27;t watched his cover of &amp;quot;Thrift Shop&amp;quot; yet, do that now&amp;amp;#8212;and I&amp;#x27;ve been dying to see him live. So, imagine how excited I was (or, as my boyfriend informed me: &amp;quot;You were swooning&amp;quot;) to see him perform an intimate acoustic set at The Box in NYC last night thanks to Nokia Lumia. Before the show, I even got to sit down with him (!!!) to talk all things Taylor Swift, dating, and redheads. Serious stuff only, obviously. Check it out! Glamour: Taylor Swift just announced her next single is her duet [for &amp;quot;Everything Has Changed&amp;quot;] with you. How is working with her? Ed Sheeran: Seems to be good so far. Glamour: If you had to write a song about her, what would you call it? ES: &amp;quot;I Knew You Weren&amp;amp;#8217;t Trouble When You Walked In.&amp;quot; She&amp;amp;#8217;s definitely a very good girl. Glamour: Do you have any crazy touring stories? What&amp;amp;#8217;s the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you at a show? ES: I&amp;amp;#8217;ve done some really weird gigs. The ones where no one turned up&amp;amp;#8212;they&amp;amp;#8217;re probably not the interesting ones to talk about. I played some pretty random ones in L.A. I signed to play all-R&amp;amp;B nights or an all-comedy night where I&amp;amp;#8217;d be the only white person there. They were fun. Glamour: Do you just go on the fly with those? ES: You just have to go in large and go perform for them. Yeah, and grab people&amp;amp;#8217;s attention. Glamour: What do you do when nobody is in the audience? ES: You play, and you leave. That&amp;amp;#8217;s it. Oh, and you don&amp;amp;#8217;t take it personally. Glamour: Have you experienced any crazy fans yet? ES: Yeah, you always get crazy fans, but they tend to be less crazy themselves when you speak to them in person. They&amp;amp;#8217;re crazy from 100 feet away&amp;amp;#8212;and on Twitter&amp;amp;#8212;but when you have a conversation with them, they&amp;amp;#8217;re normal people. Glamour: Redheads are having a moment. So, who&amp;amp;#8217;s your favorite ginger? ES: Prince Harry! He does it good because there isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a single woman on the planet that doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t want to marry a prince, and he just happens to be ginger. Glamour: He&amp;#x27;s attractive! ES: I personally don&amp;amp;#8217;t think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff. I learned guitar, and he became a prince. Glamour: What are you planning for tonight&amp;#x27;s show? ES: I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to play &amp;amp;#8216;Lego House&amp;amp;#8217; because we&amp;#x27;re filming a video for it and then play the rest of the album. Glamour: What&amp;amp;#8217;s next for you? ES: I play SunFest in Florida tomorrow&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s a music festival&amp;amp;#8212;then go back out with Taylor on Saturday and play Detroit Tiger Stadium. Glamour: What has been your favorite city in America? ES: Nashville! Glamour: Any dating advice for Glamour readers? ES: I&amp;amp;#8217;m not very glamorous, so hopefully they&amp;amp;#8217;ll accept that! Try to find someone with a sense of humor. That&amp;amp;#8217;s an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny. You don&amp;#x27;t want to hide away from a point because some points are serious, but you&amp;amp;#8217;d rather have a discussion that was a discussion, rather than an argument. I think if you have someone without a sense of humor, you&amp;amp;#8217;re less likely to be together. Glamour: My mom always tells me: Date your best friend. ES: I&amp;amp;#8217;d say that, but choose wisely because you don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to ruin the friendship. Oh, and never be friends with your exes if you weren&amp;amp;#8217;t friends with them before. Whenever you have an ex, and they&amp;amp;#8217;re like, &amp;amp;#8216;I hope we can still be friends!&amp;amp;#8217; and you weren&amp;amp;#8217;t friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really? Glamour: But if you were friends before, isn&amp;#x27;t it harder to go back to being friends? ES: I think so. It depends how deep your relationship was. I&amp;amp;#8217;m friends with 80 percent of people I&amp;#x27;ve been with. OK, I&amp;#x27;m obsessed. What do you think of Ed? P.S. Ed was filming his latest music video on the Nokia Lumia 928.
