Saturday Night Live UK host Amelia Dimoldenberg did not hold back with her attack on Ed Sheeran during her opening monologue on Saturday, September 26.
“I’m incredibly privileged to have done so many interviews with people like Idris Elba, Cher and even a world-famous red-headed puppet with a hand up his ass telling him what to say,” Dimoldenberg—who hosts Chicken Shop Date — said as an image of Elmo flashed on screen. “No, the other one.”
Of course, the reality star’s swipe was a reference to the drama surrounding Sheeran’s Loop Tour.
Earlier this month, rapper Macklemore addressed the crowd at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with a “Free Palestine” speech while opening for the “Shape of You” artist.
Days later, it was revealed that Robert Kraft — the owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium — took issue with Macklemore’s message and pressured Sheeran to drop him from the tour.
“Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues,” Macklemore shared on September 14.
After the “Thrift Shop” artist was dropped, Sheeran’s other openers, Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Beoga, and Lukas Graham, stepped away in solidarity with Macklemore and his message. Sheeran’s backup band also quit, leaving the “Thinking Out Loud” singer to tour solo.
Sheeran returned to the stage for his first solo show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on September 19. His subsequent shows, scheduled for September 25 and 26 at Kraft’s Massachusetts stadium, were canceled due to weather.
He’s currently scheduled to perform at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on October 3.
