Sheeran popped up at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge wearing a pink cowboy hat and performing his hit songs, along with John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads.” The highlight of his Nashville adventure was his appearance at the Bluebird Café, a venue famous for its intimate songwriter rounds.
Sitting among some of Nashville’s finest storytellers, Sheeran shared the stage with Megan Moroney. Moroney and Sheeran swapped stories and songs, with Sheeran expressing his love for Nashville’s songwriting culture.
