See Ed Sheeran Surprise A 13-Year-Old Girl With A Shopping Centre Duet

So, you’re a 13-year-old Canadian girl trying to raise funds for your music school, the Edmonton Humane Society. (Go with us on this.)

You muster up the courage to stand before the shoppers of the West Edmonton Mall and perform for them Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”

Then, a body rushes the stage, and at first you think it’s someone kindly adjusting your microphone, but actually, it’s Sheeran himself, who heard you singing as he exited a nearby HMV.

Then, after a quick hug, you finish the song together.

No, this is not a modest piece of fan fiction penned by a yours truly, but the reality Sydney Bourbeau lived this weekend.

Too fantastical to believe? The Edmonton Journal have put it on the official record, so there. In fact, you can watch this chunk of truth below.

On a side note, I will soon write some fan fiction around Ed's trip to HMV, exploring what it is exactly he bought there. Was it just more copies of “Bad Blood”? Can you still even buy physical singles?
