📰 International Pop Star Ed Sheeran Calls Shillong His Favourite City in India
Shillong, Meghalaya – World-renowned singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, known for chartbusters like Perfect, Shape of You, and Photograph, recently revealed that Shillong is his favourite place in India.
In a candid segment titled “Spin the Wheel with Ed Sheeran”, when asked about his top Indian destination, the global artist immediately named Shillong. He praised the city’s natural beauty, musical soul, and vibrant energy.
This love affair with Shillong is not new. Earlier this year, during his India tour, Ed performed in front of nearly 30,000 fans at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Shillong. The crowd’s energy, Sheeran said, was “the loudest and most heartfelt” he had ever experienced.
Not just the performance, but even his music video “Sapphire” featured glimpses of Shillong – from local tea stalls to children playing football and scenic hills. This has now become a point of pride not just for Shillong but for the entire Northeast.
For fans across Assam and especially here at Barpeta Road, this recognition feels like a moment of celebration for the cultural spirit of the region.
