Liking Ed Sheeran outside the safety of the hopefully soundproof walls of one’s home is apparently a controversial act in 2017. Despite the singer’s widespread popularity, he’s become an internet punching bag of late due to his “toxic masculinity” problem, as his nice-guy brand has worn thin for many listeners. The model sung Sheeran’s praises on social media Sunday night during his performance of “Castle on the Hill” at the Billboard Music Awards. “Personal opinion everyone shares: Ed Sheeran is a good dude,” the “Lip Sync Battle” host tweeted during the award show. Teigen’s track record of spot-on Twitter takes is well-documented, so many of her followers did a double-take when she publicly aligned herself with the singer.
