Ed Sheeran brought Sigrid on stage to perform ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ during a show in her hometown of Oslo – check out footage below.
Sheeran was performing at the Norwegian capital’s Ullevaal Stadium when he invited Sigrid to join him to perform her breakout hit. Coincidentally, she had headlined the Second Stage at Latitude Festival the day before, which takes place in Sheeran’s hometown of Suffolk.
After their performance, Sheeran wrote on Instagram: “So fun rocking Oslo tonight with @sigrid hometown hero. She’s one of the coolest, really appreciate her flying over for this show, felt only right to have her come and sing this for everyone tonight. I’ve loved her music for years but now I know she’s as cool as I thought she was, if not cooler. Such a fun time. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album when it comes out x”
The video on the pair’s Instagram accounts has already received 100,000 likes and 2.1milliion views.

Meanwhile, Sigrid released a “free-spirited and joyous” new single ‘Jellyfish’, which marks her first release since 2023 EP ‘The Hype’ EP.
Speaking about the song, Sigrid has said: “It’s my slightly more free-spirited and joyous side. I wanted it to feel easy – like a Scandinavian summer. Flirting can feel so chaotic and stupid, but that’s the best part of it.”
“I love using my voice as a vessel to pour my heart out,” she added, “but on this song, I wanted it to sound carefree, joyful and playful – maybe a bit nonchalant.”
In other news, earlier this month Sheeran launched a new series of original works titled ‘Cosmic Carpark Paintings’, raising funds for his Ed Sheeran Foundation. The charity is a UK-wide initiative aimed at providing inclusive, high-quality music education for every child.

Charli xcx has added the Music, Fashion, Film B sides “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night,” “Playboy Bunny” and “If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?” to iTunes through a new digital deluxe release titled Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition).
The three tracks had already been introduced to listeners through Charli’s @b.sides alternative Instagram account. They also appeared as physical B sides on limited edition 7 inch singles for “Rock Music,” “SS26” and “Camera,” as well as in an extensive Music, Fashion, Film box set. However, fans were unable to officially buy them as digital downloads until Sunday, July 26.
Charli previously told her audience that the songs were “never gonna go on streaming … I don’t think,” although she admitted at the time that her decision might eventually change.
“you can call me a hypocrite, i don’t mind,” Charli wrote alongside a winking emoji while announcing Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition) on Sunday.
Priced at $4.99 on iTunes, the digital collection features all 11 songs from the original Music, Fashion, Film album, along with the three additional B sides and their accompanying music videos.
Explaining her choice further on Instagram, Charli wrote: “i made b sides for each of the songs released ahead of Music, Fashion, Film because it felt natural to pair each songs with a fitting counterpart – something that’s adjacent to the album but not entirely part of it. traditionally, b sides often become fan favorites… and i guess in the case of some of the b sides for this album, that has proven to be true. i felt adamant i wouldn’t put them on streaming because it sort of felt counter intuitive to the whole ethos of those songs, but i know you all really wanted them so i’ve begrudgingly put them on itunes lol.”
Music, Fashion, Film was released on Friday, accompanied by the online premiere of the theatrical short film Charli developed to complement the project.
She will begin a short North American tour supporting Music, Fashion, Film in Philadelphia on Sept. 11. The run will then visit Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glendale and Las Vegas.
