Why Isn't Ed Sheeran at the 2018 Grammys?
We Know You're Probably Wondering Why Ed Sheeran Wasn't at the Grammys
Although Ed Sheeran cleaned up at the Grammys, winning both awards he was nominated for — best pop vocal album and best pop solo performance — his fans were definitely more concerned with where the 26-year-old artist may have been, as he wasn't in attendance at the award show. While everyone else was busy frantically googling where the newly engaged "Shape of You" singer was during the show, Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter to share the answer: he's pet sitting for her and Portia.
"I wish everyone in that category could have won," DeGeneres said of the best pop solo performance nominations after the award was to given Sheeran. "Congratulations, @EdSheeran! So sorry I asked you to pet sit tonight."

It seems Ellen was only joking because in the wee hours of Monday morning, Ed shared a photo of his cat, Dorito, on Instagram, explaining what he was doing when he won. "Woke up to the news I won two grammys last night," Ed wrote. "Thank you ! This little fluff-ball is doing a bit of a celebratory dance, lots of love to everyone xx." Everyone needs their beauty sleep, right?
