Biased language

The article uses biased language to praise Ed Sheeran and his actions.

"I wanted to record a live version of Autumn Variations, but I wanted to do it in an original way," he captioned his video as he explained what was going on. My first idea was to do it as a living room gig at a fans house, but then I thought why not do each song in a different fans living room and surprise them on their doorstep. "We did 14 houses over 2 days and it was such a fun way to meet fans but also record an entire live album. I hope you like it ! It’s the bonus album that you all deserve, and thank you to all the fans who lets us in with zero notice ! Listen now and watch the premiere of them all on YouTube at 1pm ET/6pm BST."
