Ed Sheeran twins with Rupert Grint to unveil new song

Ed Sheeran teases an angry new breakup track with lookalike Rupert Grint lip-syncing in matching clothes.

Ed Sheeran is sparking major buzz online after teasing a brand-new song in a quirky Instagram Reel, featuring none other than his longtime lookalike, Rupert Grint. In the post, both men appear in identical floral shirts, lip-syncing to an emotionally charged snippet that fans are already calling Sheeran's most scathing lyrics to date.

The short clip begins with Sheeran singing along to the unreleased track, only for the camera to flip dramatically to Grint, equally committed to the performance. The lyrics alone hint at a far more bitter tone than Sheeran’s usual heartfelt fare: “And one day we’ll all be dead / But between now and then / I never want to see you again / I used to love you / Now every day I hate you just a little more.”

The post, captioned “I like this song – The real Ed Sheeran,” offers no further details, no song title, no confirmation of a music video, and no explanation for Grint’s involvement. But the dramatic pairing and coordinated outfits suggest something visual is on the way, possibly a full-fledged collaboration for the track’s official video.

Fans are also speculating this could be part of Sheeran’s upcoming album PLAY, slated for release on September 12. The project already includes singles ‘Azizam’ and ‘Sapphire’, and Sheeran recently confirmed he contributed an original track to the Zootopia 2 soundtrack alongside Shakira.

Online reaction has been a mix of amusement and intrigue. Some fans praised the humour, while others were drawn to the song’s brutal honesty. One comment read, “This is the pettiest Ed has ever been and I love it.” Whether the track is a diss, a story, or a real-life heartbreak anthem, it’s clear Sheeran’s not holding back this era.
