While Sheeran claimed to be adhering to his apolitical brand, one critic argued he was really just "letting a pro-Israel billionaire choose his politics for him."
People are talking about both Kraft and Sheeran. I mean, you are, right? So am I. And so was the person you replied to. And tons of others that I’ve also seen. Nobody thinks Ed Sheeran did this on his own.
I’d admit I haven’t been following this too closely. I’d file this more “celebrity news”, which is wayyyyyyy down on my list of priorities.
That said, a quick browse through social media reveals posts about Sheeran outnumbering posts about Kraft like 10:1.
It’s clear where the court of public opinion is headed here…Sheeran is moving farther out into “unlikeable” territory than he did when he appeared in Westeros…and peoples opinion of Kraft has barely budged.
Ipso facto, Sheeran is taking the brunt of it, and I feel that’s a bit undeserved. All he did wrong was prioritize “saving the tour” over “saving face”, and failed at both (and of course “saving Palestinians”…but let’s be real here…ultimately a lot more people are talking about Sheeran than they are the Palestinians).
