The last time I saw this many famous masses in one shoes was the Met Gala .
If you’ve seen an increase in grainy photos of an 18-year-oldHarry Stylesfloating around on social media this week, no, you’ve not magically transported back to 2012 —Ed Sheeranjust unleashed a ton of never-before-seen photos from his old iPhone.
The release of these pictures — on an Instagram account called@teddysoldphone— is in celebration of Ed’s new single, “Old Phone,” which drops tomorrow. And if his intention was to get people talking, I can safely say it’s been a roaring success. From pizza parties withUsherandTaylor Swift, to cryptic screenshots and a pic with Bill Clinton (?), this batch of images (all with the signature graininess of the old iPhone camera) is a goldmine ofpop culturerelics from the 2010s.
If you don’t have time to scroll through all 210 pictures, have no fear, as I’ve rounded up the best of the bunch. So, buckle in, because this is quite the ride.
