While on his +–=÷x Tour, Ed Sheeran found a new way to unwind before his big show. The 4-time Grammy Award-winning singer hooked up his Nintendo Switch to the massive LED screen at the stadium, and sat cross legged on the arena floor and played Pokémon Stadium to relax before his performance. Sheeran realized how nerdy that this made him look, and was able to playfully make fun of himself in the process. Sheeran posted an Instagram video capturing him geeking out with his larger than life Pokémon Stadium video game setup, joking in the clip, “If I wasn’t a musician, I’d be a virgin.” Sheeran captioned his humorous post, “Pokemon Stadium in the stadium #superawesomewickedcool #wannacometomybirthdayparty #itlbefunpromise #cake,” with the comical hashtags reinforcing his nerdy tendencies.
