Fans' funny reactions to Ed Sheeran's new era

Since Teddy (Ed's nickname) is known for using mathematical symbols for his albums, fans poked fun at his new era, asking him what mathematical symbol he would use should he release a new album this year.

"What math symbol is he using this time," a fan, @GNXsweetner, asked.

Fans also trolled Teddy's new era announcement, saying that yes, he'll have a new era, but he'll release another ballad song just like before!

"Ed teasing a new era like we don’t know he’s about to drop another ballad!" another fan, @horejsiii, added.

Other fans also joked about the video's clue, saying the singer is now in his Quantum Physics era, leaving the Simple Math symbols era behind.

"Great first math now quantum physics" - another fan, @erniecanvas, replied.

Even if Ed Sheeran uploaded the new era video today, his OG fans immediately know that the video is connected to his new song, "Azizam"! (via X/@MsAnjaliB)

X users also can't help but compare Ed's new era teaser to Taylor Swift's eras, saying that Ed wants to reheat Taylor's nachos so bad he's also doing eras of his music career.

"He’s trying to reheat taylor’s nachos!" @etiennology commented.

Now that Ed Sheeran is in his new era, X users also clowned him, saying he's done with mathematical symbols, so he's using shapes for his latest album's name. (via X/@AVI8662)

And finally, X users hilariously guessed Ed Sheeran's new album name. Hint: All of the suggestions are related to mathematics.

"His new album gon be called Square Root," @ven1cebih remarked.

"Bet his new album is called inversion or something," another X user, @EmKris23456, shared.

What's new with Ed Sheeran's new era?

Since the video dropped hints and clues about his new era, it seems that Teddy is finally moving forward with his music career!

After surprise street performances and a St. Patrick's Day performance at a pub, our favorite Irish lad teased a new song titled "Azizam," an homage to his roots and his most personal song yet because it's all about his songwriting process.

Now that Ed has released a new era announcement video and premiered a bit of his new song, his eighth album will most likely be released sooner than we think!
