Ed Sheeran<\/strong><\/a> can now add an Emmy Award<\/a> to his long list of accolades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won an Emmy last night. I was not expecting to win at all, it was a real real surprise waking up to the news, I wish I had been there but I\u2019m just about to kick off the Asia tour so had to be elsewhere sadly,\u201d Sheeran, 32, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, January 7.<\/p>\n

Sheeran and cowriters Max Martin<\/strong> and Foy Vance<\/strong> won the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics trophy at the annual Creative Emmy Awards ceremony on Saturday, January 6, for their track \u201cA Beautiful Game,\u201d which was featured in the Ted Lasso <\/i><\/a>season 3 finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all fans of the show<\/a> and got asked to do a song for the finale, so 2 years ago this month we got in together and wrote a song about love and football, and how it is always about the journey rather than the destination,\u201d Sheeran added in his social media post. \u201cI recorded a crowd at one of my stadium shows for it singing the final chant to keep it in the footie [vibes].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThere\u2019s no better feeling than being recognized for your hard work.

In addition to seeing the best actresses and actors take home the golden statuette, we get to [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He continued, \u201cIt was up against some fantastic artists and songs in its Emmy category for Best Original Music and Lyrics, hence not thinking we had a chance in hell of winning, but thank you so much for whoever voted for it, and to Max, Foy and all the Lasso<\/i> crew. I really am honored.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt happens too often! Every year around Emmys season, TV fans hear about shows and actors who were snubbed as equally deserving nominees celebrate. In fact, some of the most iconic series of all time never won a single Emmy in their heyday. While Alexis Bledel won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sheeran, however, has long been candid about the awkward atmosphere of being recognized at award shows.<\/p>\n
