Before the NFL season kicked off on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021, Ed Sheeran delighted the fans with a free concert at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa. The Grammy-winning singer was amid NFL stars, such as ex-QB Tom Brady and Dak Prescott. Two years later, on June 10, 2023, another NFL star was spotted at a musical event. Aaron Rodgers, the new Jets quarterback, was seen heading to MetLife Stadium to enjoy a show by the British singer-songwriter.
The four-time MVP seems like a music lover, as he recently attended Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ concert at the MetLife stadium, making his debut appearance at the venue. On Super Saturday, he returned to the same stadium for another musical night. This time, he was impressed by the charm of the iconic singer Ed Sheeran, who also delighted the Green Gang supporters with his performance and a surprising gesture.

Ed Sheeran, the British singer-songwriter with a net worth of $200 million, delighted nearly 80,000 fans at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Super Saturday, June 10. He performed a two-hour show of ballads, pop-rockers, and a little hip-hop, too, as part of his “+ – = ÷ x Tour”. He was joined by Khalid and Dylan, who warmed up the crowd starting from 6 p.m. Sheeran took the stage at around 8 p.m., wearing a black shirt that said “East Rutherford” on it. For the encore, he changed into a Jets jersey for charming 1.3 million Gang Green Twitter Supporters, with the number 5 and the word “Subtract”, which is the title of his latest album.

He revealed in a radio interview before the concert that he was a “big fan” of Swift and her album “Folklore”. He also made a joke about practicing for a Jets Super Bowl win with Taylor Swift’s confetti. Rodgers’ value for the Jets in the upcoming season of the league remains to be seen, but he has already shown his love for music by attending concerts of Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. He seems to be a big fan of both artists and may not have a clear favorite, or at least did not express any preference.
