London’s BST Hyde Park roared with excitement on June 27, 2025, as Olivia Rodrigo pulled off one of the most unforgettable surprises of the summer. In the middle of her headlining set before a crowd of 65,000 fans, Rodrigo stunned the audience by welcoming none other than Ed Sheeran to the stage for a heartfelt live duet of his iconic hit, “The A Team.”
The crowd erupted into deafening screams as Sheeran casually walked onto the stage with a guitar in hand. Rodrigo, visibly emotional, introduced him as one of her longtime idols and called the moment a “dream come true.” What followed was a stripped-down, intimate rendition of “The A Team” that silenced the massive crowd with its raw beauty and emotional weight.
Fans swayed, lit up the night sky with their phones, and sang along word-for-word as Rodrigo and Sheeran’s voices intertwined with perfect harmony. The acoustic performance showcased both artists’ emotional depth and vocal control, bringing a wave of nostalgia and fresh energy to the beloved song.
This rare collaboration wasn’t announced, teased, or hinted at—making it all the more magical. It marked one of the standout moments of Olivia Rodrigo’s BST debut and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans lucky enough to witness it live.
Social media lit up instantly with videos, reactions, and emotional tributes from concertgoers. The surprise duet quickly went viral, with fans calling it “the best live moment of the year” and praising the chemistry between the Gen Z pop star and the singer-songwriter legend.
