Stop Ed Sheeran Slander

Mia Beacom, Reporter

There are two main attributes society wants in a musician. People these days want an unproblematic musician, who will not make controversial choices and not make bad decisions. People also want to hear good music that makes them feel good. Unfortunately, the same people say they only want these two things in a musician are liars. 

Ed Sheeran is a talented and successful musician who has written over 100 songs. He has released four studio albums and 42 singles. He has a very successful career. Sheeran also has had 38 songs on the Hot 100. Sheeran has written songs for One Direction, Justin Bieber and more artists. He is a fantastic musician and does not stir up the pot with other celebrities or musicians. He only wants to make music and do what he loves. 

Sadly, there are many people who think it is okay to make fun of him. Ed Sheeran is a ginger. He does not meet society’s beauty standards. He has gotten fun of the way he looks often and did not have social media for a long time. This needs to stop because it is not okay. Just because someone doesn’t think he is attractive does not make it right to make fun of him for it. 

Harry Styles, another successful musician, has a huge following and his fans adore him. He also fits the beauty standard society has made. This does not mean Styles is not a good artist, it just means that he has a pretty privilege over some artists who are just as talented as him. 

Ed Sheeran should not be getting hate for something he cannot change. He is a talented artist and the slander needs to stop. Sheeran does not deserve this and is so appreciative of his fans. People should appreciate him and stop making fun of him.
