Ed Sheeran caused chaos in New York City on Tuesday after surprising fans by hopping onto a tourist bus while filming a brand-new music video with Camila Cabello.
The 34-year-old superstar, who dropped his latest album Play earlier this month, was spotted keeping things casual in an off-white T-shirt and sneakers as he directed scenes alongside Camila, 28. At one point, Sheeran playfully jumped onto an open-top sightseeing bus packed with shocked passengers, sparking screams and cheers from stunned fans who couldn’t believe their luck.
The duo were later seen filming inside a sleek black G-Wagon, with Ed appearing to give Camila pointers as cameras rolled. The Cuban-American pop star looked radiant, laughing between takes as crowds gathered around the production to catch a glimpse of the two global icons in action.
Passersby quickly flooded social media with clips of the spectacle, with one fan posting: “Imagine being on a random bus tour in NYC and suddenly Ed Sheeran starts filming next to you? Insane.” Another joked: “Only in New York. You book a bus to see landmarks and end up in a Sheeran music video.”
The project marks a much-anticipated reunion for Sheeran and Cabello, who previously collaborated on South of the Border with Cardi B in 2019 and the Latin-inspired hit Bam Bam in 2022, which became a TikTok sensation. Their undeniable chemistry has fans buzzing about whether this latest venture will bring another chart-topping anthem.
Industry insiders say the song will feature on a deluxe edition of Play, though neither artist has confirmed details yet. What is clear is that the pair are leaning into the vibrant, spontaneous energy of New York City to set the scene for the track.
An onlooker described the atmosphere as “electric,” adding: “The streets literally stopped. You had Ed Sheeran on top of a tourist bus, Camila Cabello waving at fans from a car window — it was like watching a blockbuster unfold in real life.”
For Sheeran, the stunt is another example of his willingness to bring music back to the people in unexpected ways. In recent months, he has popped up in pubs, schools, and even a random wedding to perform surprise mini-sets. Cabello, meanwhile, has been teasing new music and hinted in a recent interview that she’s in “a playful creative chapter” of her career.
Whatever comes of their latest collaboration, fans are already convinced it will be one of the year’s most exciting releases. As one Twitter user summed it up: “Ed and Camila together always equals magic. This video is going to break the internet.”
