Ed Sheeran has shared a fun and very Irish new video for his song “Galway Girl”. Starring Irish actress Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn), the pair act as lovers who take on the town – they go dancing at the pub, grab a Guinness, and run through the streets at night.
The video, filmed entirely from Ed’s perspective, was shot on location in Galway. In the video, Ronan’s character writes ‘Galway girl’ on his arm, but misspelled it. Sheeran later got it tattooed on his arm and told the story of the mistake.
“When we were filming it, I meant to get a tattoo of her handwriting saying ‘Galway Girl’ from her point of view.” Sheeran told the crowd at a recent show in Glasgow. “It actually says Galway Grill. G-R-I-L-L. She really took the piss out of me – full on.”
