Look, we love Ed Sheeran.
He’s a great musician and seems like a lovely guy and we’re very much looking forward to going to see him next month when he comes to Ireland.
That said, we’re kind of unsure about the video for his latest single, Happier.
It was released today and features the puppet Ed that appeared in the video for Sing.
The song is all about watching your ex move on with someone else – the sort of sad stuff that we know and love Ed for.
In the video, we see puppet Ed mourning the loss of his former flame (a balloon girl) and fantasising about attacking her new boyfriend (a red Oscar the Grouch-looking character).
There’s a certain charm to it, we guess, but a lot of fans are today wondering whether the puppets are appropriate for the video, or even necessary.
Omg that damn puppet is in the Ed Sheeran video

We just feel like we’re going to open our eyes in bed tonight and puppet Ed will be standing there staring, TBH.
