Ed Sheeran<\/strong> has no illusions about himself: he knows he’s essentially a nerd. He posted a video of himself on\u00a0Instagram<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0playing the video Pok\u00e9mon Stadium<\/em> on the big screen of the stadium where he’s performing. He turns to the camera and says, “If I wasn’t a musician, I’d be a virgin!”<\/p>\n

Katy Perry<\/strong> has announced<\/strong><\/a> that she’ll release her new single and video, “Lifetimes,” on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.\u00a0 It’s the follow-up to her controversial video for “Women’s World.”<\/p>\n

Sam Smith<\/strong> rerecorded his hit “I’m Not the Only One” as a duet with Alicia Keys<\/strong> for the 10th anniversary edition of his album In the Lonely Hour<\/em>. Now they’ve released a music video<\/strong><\/a> for the collab.\u00a0The black-and-white clip includes footage of Sam and Alicia recording the song together in the studio, intercut with scenes of them performing it at the Pride Party Sam hosted earlier this year at Julius, New York City’s oldest gay bar.<\/p>\n
