Ed Sheeran’s ‘morning routine’ post has users poking fun: "The joke is not funny anymore"

Ed Sheeran has done the unthinkable— taking it to social media, he’s officially jumped on the viral "morning routine" trend. But instead of going for the usual aesthetic shots of frothy lattes and sunrise yoga, he gave netizens a hilariously chaotic version that left everyone divided. His TikTok post, meant as a parody of the wildly popular trend, showcased his full rainbow chest tattoos while he dramatically splashed his face with water and flexed in the mirror. While some fans appreciated the humor, others were ready to retire the joke altogether.

@lipadelrey summed it up perfectly:

"Thank you for doing this Ed 🙏🏻 now the joke is not funny anymore 🧡"—a sentiment that resonated with many.

So, did Ed win the internet or just exhaust a trend that’s already on life support? Fans had plenty to say.

Ed Sheeran joins the ‘Morning Routine’ trend—and fans have some thoughts

Social media had a field day dissecting Ed Sheeran’s take on the trend, and the reactions were nothing short of brutal.

"What kinda water is he wastin" – @MrPlotTwister

Here is another valid concern: Sheeran's enthusiasm while splashing water everywhere as if he were trying to put out an imaginary fire.

"Ed Sheeran doing the Ashton Hall trend is the last thing I expected." – @miadesiign

Because if there’s one thing the world didn’t see coming, it’s Ed Sheeran casually hopping onto TikTok trends like a Gen Z influencer.

"Of course he has Saratoga water😭" – @leahrevine

The sheer (pun intended) audacity of another user:

"The way nobody asked for this😭😭😭" – @vesperamyst

Yet, here we are, processing it anyway. Here is one more comment:

"Can this trend die already we’re bored." – @Ponar15

A feeling that seems to be spreading faster than the trend itself.

The Ashton Hall background: Why did Ed Sheeran join this trend?

For those blissfully unaware of why a morning routine post has sparked such online chaos, here’s the rundown.

The trend was originally popularized by TikTok creator Ashton Hall, whose videos parodying the ultra-aesthetic influencer morning routines became an instant hit. His exaggerated performances—complete with excessive face-dunking, banana peel rubbing, aggressive mirror flexing, and over-the-top product placement—became a viral sensation. Naturally, celebrities couldn’t resist jumping on the bandwagon.

Enter Ed Sheeran, who put his own spin on the trend, putting his signature rainbow chest tattoos on full display (which, let’s be honest, were a spectacle all on their own). While the post was meant as a joke, the internet seems split between enjoying the humor and begging for this trend’s swift demise.

And speaking of those tattoos, the 34-year-old English singer-songwriter's ink collection is infamous. From a massive lion to an eclectic mix of colorful designs, the tattoos have often left fans both amused and bewildered over the years. Once again, his shirtless appearance in the video reignited the long-standing debateon whether his tattoo choices are artistic brilliance or just plain questionable.
