(Correct me if I'm wrong), but he was a bit cocky in interviews after the success of Shape of You. I remember him being shady towards the Grammys for not nominating him in the main categories, and talking about charts & success non-stop during his peak. That's what put people off here, and I kind of agree - now that he's not as successful as he was before, we see his humble side. He's just always been too calculated. 

He also was very sexist in a few interviews 

 

And in 2017 people thought that he’s shading gaga here

 “I do not want to be the kind of artist who has had two successful albums and then feels invincible. I have to know when to listen to people, or I’ll end up like those artists you’ve interviewed in recent years. You’ve seen them become the biggest artists in the world, and then suddenly they will say, ‘I know everything!’ And just after, they are no longer at the top, The smartest thing to do is listen to people who know I do not want to do the Super Bowl years later, after my biggest success, just to prove I’m still relevant.”

So basically what he's saying is, if Taylor does the half time show, so will he.

That's very pointed from him. Did he have a row with Gaga ?

Just to clarify for him, nobody does the Super Bowl years later after their biggest success just to prove they're still relevant. Everybody does it because they've been invited and because it's a great honour.

I was gonna say Taylor + Ed for the win.

He’s certainly right about that. No offense to Ed, but it would be quite boring.

I applaud his self-awareness

[Wolf Boy 3,260]

He’s right.
