Ed Sheeran’s Old Phone Account: A Time Capsule of Memories
In late March, Ed Sheeran quietly launched a new Instagram account called @TeddysOldPhone. The account quickly gained traction among his fans, who were thrilled to see a glimpse into his past.
Sheeran explained that all the images on the account came from a phone he stopped using in 2015 but had recently turned back on during the discovery process for his "Thinking Out Loud" copyright infringement lawsuit. The account was a time capsule of memories, including a live gig photo and some Notes App, text message, and email screenshots.
The account inspired Sheeran to write a new song titled "Old Phone," which he plans to release this Thursday, May 1. The song is a reflection of his emotional journey and the memories he found on his old phone.
"Old Phone" is Sheeran’s second single of the year, following "Azizam," which was released earlier this month. Both songs are expected to appear on his upcoming album, "Play," which doesn’t have a release date yet but is his first album since 2023’s "Subtract" and "Autumn Variations."
The account has become a popular spot for fans to reminisce about their favorite moments with Sheeran.
