I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed.

- Sheeran in defense of a few billionaire's right to close conversations they don't like

I read his statement as:

I choose to use my fame and platform to shield myself and avoid uncomfortable conversations that might result in the alienation of some of my fans.

He's Taylor Swift for 50 year old women.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Doesn't that also describe Taylor Swift?

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Nah Swift is for 36 year old women.

Taylor Swift appeals to women who are mad at their ex boyfriends for not appreciating them. Sheeran appeals to older women who wished they had found a better partner than they did.

But not better in any measurable way, because that's not Sheeran's vibe. Just "better" while still being comfortably the same.

Wow, how depressing.

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Naw swift is for a lot of 30 year olds male and female.

Now, I wonder if a PR team writes his lyrics.

I doubt it would have any impact on the lyrics

I think it's a joke implying the PR team wrote the statement.

I wooshed myself.
