Lady Gaga Comes to Ed Sheeran’s Defense After Her Fans Bullied Him

Eonline.com: UPDATE: At about 12:15 p.m. PT Tuesday, Lady Gaga shared her support for Ed Sheeran. "What an incredible talented artist I LOVE ED @edsheeran deserves all our love and respect like all humans do," she wrote on Instagram. "I wish all people on the internet would be positive and loving and apart of creating an online community that is kind and empowering, not hateful and mean. No reason to tear down an artist simply because they are on top. Work harder to be kinder everybody. That should be your first duty to humanity."

Bad news for Ed Sheeran's 19.2 million Twitter followers.

In an interview with The Sun published Monday, the singer-songwriter said he's no longer active on the social media platform. "I've actually come off Twitter completely. I can't read it. I go on it and there's nothing but people saying mean things. One comment ruins your day," the 26-year-old revealed. "The headf--k for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much."

As of Tuesday, Sheeran's Twitter account is still active. But, like Adele before him, he likely handed over access to someone in his management team so he or she can tweet on his behalf.

Why the sudden vitriol? Lady Gaga's fans have been trolling Sheeran since earlier this year. After his Beats Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe, some of her fans assumed he threw shade in her direction. "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," Sheeran said at the time, without naming names. "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."

It was that interview that set her fans off. "
