Ed Sheeran further stressed having a feminine side and added that he loved musical theatre, pop music and Britney Spears. He then stated how his masculinity stopped at drinking beer and watching football. He said, "I definitely have a big feminine side. I love musical theatre, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears. My masculine side probably stops at drinking beer and watching football."

Speaking about his preference for the women's league he stated how he realised why he was watching male football because the female one was much better. “I watched it and I was like, ‘I don’t know why I watch male football, this is much better. I am not a car guy. I like a nice car, but I’m not a car guy,” he stated.

The singer also opened up about how his life shifted to femininity soon after he got married and mentioned how his wife was super pro-women and feminine. “But then, my wife is super pro-women and femininity. And so, as soon as we started dating, my life shifted to that. She plays in a female hockey team. We hang out with all the team. It’s very much women empowerment, he concluded.
