Ed Sheeran Goes Full-On Glampire In ‘Bad Habits’ Music Video

Get a stake and have some garlic nearby, because Ed Sheeran is taking no prisoners in his new music video for “Bad Habits.”

Donning a glittery smokey eye, black claws and fangs, Sheeran shows us a side of him that we’ve never seen before — and it’s kind of hot. Sitting at a hair salon in a head-to-toe hot pink suit, he glides through the night when the beat drops and joins his fellow bloodsuckers.

The best part may very well be when Sheeran and his vamp crew set out for the night and he stops a car from crashing into him, ejecting an inflatable dummy that looks exactly like him.

Lyrics include: “Every time you come around you know I can’t say no/ Every time the sun goes down I let you take control/ I can feel the paradise before my world implodes/ and tonight had something wonderful.” This is very different from Sheeran’s usual acoustic-bearing love song making, which he does revert back to at the end of the video.

Taylor Swift reposted a photo of Ed Sheeran from the music video on her Instagram Story writing, “It’s Ed and it’s glitter so it’s a yes from me.” She also took to Twitter at the same time, saying, “I legitimately cannot get it out of my head! And this VIDEO!! Stream/Buy/Support/bop to it uncontrollably all summer.”
