Ed Sheeran remembered his trip on a ship with Benny Blanco because the latter was afraid of flying
Ed Sheeran just recalled his hilarious trip with Benny Blanco!
After the music producer was engaged to his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, which was announced on December 11, 2024, the Mathematics tour headliner, remembered his emotional, 10-day-lomg cruise across the Atlantic Ocean, from the US to the UK because Blanco was “scared of flying.”
Jumping in the Like a Prayer bandwagon on TikTok, that encourages people to recount their dramatic and/or traumatic experiences, the Perfect hitmaker then revealed the story to his followers.
Emphasizing on how the 33-year-old musician was not excited over the trip since he had to sit on a boat for “10 whole days” of his life, Sheeran admitted the overall trip was good, since at that time, he and Blanco were working on his wildly successful 2017 album, Divide.
Their trip took a shocking turn when it was announced that their ship was passing over the precise location where the infamous Titanic sank, over which the Shape of You singer recalled thinking, “We’re doing WHAT???!!? Tourists head to the side of the boat, taking pictures of the water.”
“Benny and I locked eyes,” the singer humorously continued, adding, “‘Wanna go watch it?’ he says.”
Remembering how the pair then watched the 1997 film of the same name, Sheeran revealed how Blanco held him the entire time.
“I can’t help thinking, was this his plan all along?” he joked, further mentioning, “Is he going to paint me like one of his French girls? Will he swing me round to some Irish bangers? We could both fit on that wooden door…right?”
In a hilarious twist of event towards the conclusion of the story, Ed Sheeran then asked his fans if they wanted to hear the plot twist.
Sharing the answer, he concluded, “Benny got on a flight a month later.”
