Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another edition of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. I don't say this lightly, but I've got one of the biggest stars on the face of the planet for you this week. His name is Ed Sheeran. Ed and I got together back in 2017 and had a great conversation during the height of his success around the album Divide, which produced a bunch of number one hits, and the highest grossing tour ever. He was on the road for like two and a half years and passed U2 as the highest grossing tour ever. And by the way, it's just him with a guitar and a loop pedal on a stage.

This time we got together to talk about his latest album. It's called Equals. And everything that's

changed in his life since we last spoke, including getting married to a childhood friend named

Cherry and becoming a father to a beautiful baby girl. To set the scene for you a bit,

Ed and I got together just a few hours before he was set to play the jingle ball concert at Madison

Square Garden. It's a big concert that they have every year around the holidays where all the biggest

pop stars with the biggest hits of the year play one concert together. And we got together

at one of his favorite bars in New York for a pint.

Yes, he pulled a pint for me.

So you may hear a little buzzing in the background because we are in a bar in New York City.

So please sit back, relax, and enjoy a conversation with the incredibly talented and incredibly charming.

Ed Sheeran right now on the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

It's good to see you, man.

It's been a while.

I know.

It's been four years.

Four years.

And a few things have changed in your life since then.

You turn 30.

You got married.

You got a sweet baby girl.

Yeah.
