In a pop-culture crossover that you probably didn’t see coming, Ed Sheeran has just revealed on his Twitter account that he is taking part in some sort of Pokémon Go event.
Sheeran isn’t the first celebrity to show his love for the Pokémon franchise – famous people are just as enamoured with cute critters as the rest of us, with Michelle Visage’s Pokémon pet fashion contest being a prime recent example.
In fact, Sheeran isn’t even the first musical celebrity to join forces with Pokémon recently – stars such as Katy Perry and Mabel contributed tracks to Pokémon 25: The Album, a special album that marked the franchise’s big anniversary earlier this year.
