    I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed.

    - Sheeran in defense of a few billionaire’s right to close conversations they don’t like

      I read his statement as:

      I choose to use my fame and platform to shield myself and avoid uncomfortable conversations that might result in the alienation of some of my fans.

          Doesn’t that also describe Taylor Swift?

              Taylor Swift appeals to women who are mad at their ex boyfriends for not appreciating them. Sheeran appeals to older women who wished they had found a better partner than they did.

                But not better in any measurable way, because that’s not Sheeran’s vibe. Just “better” while still being comfortably the same.

        Now, I wonder if a PR team writes his lyrics.

          I doubt it would have any impact on the lyrics

            I think it’s a joke implying the PR team wrote the statement.
