270 minutes of pure bliss began with English, folk-rock singer-songwriter Passenger and contemporary pop singer-songwriter Christina Perri. Anyone who was lucky enough to attend Ed Sheeran’s X tour was no doubt in for a treat.

Toward the end of the headlining performances, after Passenger sang his final lyric, and a quick intermission, it was finally Sheeran’s turn to blow the minds of thousands.

Sheeran first sang a beautiful acoustic rendition of “I’m A Mess”, leaving me, along with others, covered in goosebumps. Each song Sheeran sang was not rushed a single bit. To a listener, Sheeran performed effortlessly and swooned the audience. The entire production was seamless and left fans in awe.
