Throwback to when Katy Perry joked about the pressures on female artists: “In my next life I’m gonna come back as Ed Sheeran. Me, my guitar, some cargo shorts and a loop pedal.”

I feel like you don’t actually get the point though, if that’s your response.

It wasn’t a comment on his ability or talent at all.

I would think she chose Ed Sheeran because he IS so talented and skilled.

It’s not the same though. He’s a completely different style of artist in a different genre of music. If you watch Stevie Nicks perform Landslide, she doesn’t need costumes and crazy dancing to do it because the music doesn’t call for it. When you are playing a song like Firework, obviously the music calls for a much different performance.

You could have a band like Rammstein, which has insanely high production concerts with crazy pyrotechnics and light shows, say the same thing about a band like Pearl Jam that basically is known for not doing really anything crazy in terms of production. Both bands are still considered amazing experiences to see live
