Ed Sheeran Talks Grammy Snubs With Ellen DeGeneres: "Maybe This Year Isn't My Year"
After delivering a "Perfect" performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ed Sheeran stuck around to chat on Ellen's Show Me More Show.
In the clip shared Friday (Dec 1), DeGeneres begins by congratulating Sheeran on his recent two Grammy nominations (best pop solo performance and best pop vocal album for ÷ (Divide))
before admitting that she is "outraged" that Sheeran was not also
nominated in the album of the year and song of the year categories.
After
the crowd stopped applauding, Sheeran explained: "My outlook on it is
some years you have your year and some years you don't have your year.
Maybe this year isn't my year."
DeGeneres was not accepting of that as a reasonable
explanation. "That song ['Shape Of You'] did not leave my head, I mean,
ever."
"But that's the point," Sheeran interjected.
"That's where you win. That's where the validation comes from. You
actually see people enjoying the songs. I'd rather have a lifetime of
people coming up to me and saying ... 'This song is my wedding song,' or
'this song was my first kiss.'"
Sheeran also said
that his personal favorite song is "Perfect" -- "It was one of the
fastest songs that I'd written. It just kind of came out. It's the first
song I wrote for the album and I'm not really sick of it. I still
listen to it."
Coincidentally and most likely unrelated but still funny, Sheeran wore a shirt that read "HOAX."
