During her SNL UK monologue, Amelia Dimoldenberg poked fun at Ed Sheeran by likening the pop star to a puppet. The playful jab arrived in the wake of controversy over Macklemore getting cut from Sheeran’s US tour due to his support for Palestine.
Sheeran addressed the backlash by explaining that he was not responsible for Macklemore’s removal, noting that the decision rested with the tour promoters. The controversy deepened when several other supporting acts pulled out of the tour to show solidarity with Macklemore.
