Love him or hate him, Ed Sheeran is here to stay. The ginger-haired musician is often the butt of jokes from music lovers, but that hasn’t stopped him from dominating the music charts. He has sold more than 150 million records worldwide and four of his five albums have topped the Billboard charts. Official Charts Company named him the artist of the decade (2010-2020) and Spotify named him the second most-streamed artist of the decade (2010-2020). He also has an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire), which is a big deal in the UK. In short, he’s a fucking rock star (just without the rock). Despite all his success, poor old Ed cops a lot of flack from fans and those who find his music boring. This has led to a slew of Ed Sheeran memes popping up online. These memes poke fun at everything from his music to his appearance, although they are all in good fun.

So read on and have a laugh at Ed’s expense with these 20 hilarious Ed Sheeran memes.

This funny Ed Sheeran meme takes the piss out of Sheeran and fellow redhead Rupert Grint from the Harry Potter movies. It’s a play on the two looking similar and how when you copy someone’s homework you change it slightly so the teacher won’t notice. Gold.
