No, Ed Sheeran Is Not Actually Moving to America: ‘Here’s Me Setting the Record Straight’

After speculation arose about Ed Sheeran potentially leaving his home in England for the United States, the singer made things crystal clear in a post to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (Sept. 9).

During his Sunday appearance on The 2 Johnnies Podcast, Sheeran made an off-hand comment about making a move to America, and how that seemed to go against the trend of celebrities leaving the U.S. for other countries. “I’m just about to move to America,” he told the hosts. “I feel like I might be the only person moving to America. I’m going on tour there for a while and I have a family, so I can’t dip in and out. We’re going and settling there.”

While some news outlets and fans took this news to mean that Sheeran was permanently leaving his home in England, the singer told fans in his Wednesday post that the move was only temporary.

“Way easier to clear up stuff on here so here’s me setting the record straight, coz there’s deffo a narrative press are trying to push that people wanna move out of the UK for some reason,” he wrote. “I’m not moving, I’m going on tour with my family and relocating to the continent I’m touring on, don’t wanna commute from London to San Diego obvz.”

He added that the speculation about his move potentially being due to “taxes” was false. “Also this isn’t a tax thing, it’s USA not UAE,” he wrote. “[I’ll] always pay tax in uk coz that’s where I live.”

While Sheeran is currently planning for his upcoming Loop Tour through Europe and Australia, the singer has yet to announce any North American tour dates tied to his new album Play (out Friday, Sept. 12).
