Awal tahun ini Ed Sheeran menyabet penghargaan untuk kategori penampilan solo pop terbaik dalam ajang Grammy Award ke-60 yang digelar pada 28 Januari 2018 waktu Amerika Serikat atau Senin pagi Waktu Indonesia Barat. Melalui lagu Shape of You, Ed Sheeran menyingkirkan para pesaingnya Kelly Clarkson (Love So Soft), Kesha (Praying), Lady Gaga (Million Reasons), dan Pink (What About Us).

Karena berhalangan hadir dalam acara itu, Ed Sheeran meminta Gary Clark, Jr dan Jon Batiste untuk mewakili dirinya menerima penghargaan.

Ed Sheeran belum lama ini meluncurkan album "÷ (divide). Album ketiga ini mencetak dua kemenangan di Grammy Award, yakni untuk album pop vokal terbaik dan penampilan solo pop terbaik untuk Shape of You. Lagu ini memecahkan rekor pada 2017, dengan menduduki puncak Billboard Hot 100 selama 33 minggu, jangka terpanjang dalam sejarah tangga musik itu, sebagaimana dilansir laman People.
