Ed Sheeran recently performed at the American Airlines Arena where he met his biggest ‘little’ fan with her middle name being ‘Sheeran’.

During the show, Rocky and Harmony Smith told Ed that their daughter’s middle name was ‘chosen in honour of him’.

In an Instagram video that was posted, Ed asks, “How old is she? One month? Her middle name is Sheeran? I’ve never seen a baby this calm at a concert. Just chilling there for the whole thing and you guys have been loud, you’re singing and she’s just kinda like [looking around]… I love babies!”

Ed then dedicated his song, ‘Dive’ to the one-year-old (Cooper Sheeran Smith) and even asked his audience to join him.  Ed says, “What’s her first name? Cooper. We’re going to sing this song for you. The lyrics for the chorus are ‘Don’t call me baby’… I know she’s a baby.  “I’m gonna need all of you in Miami to sing this song for Cooper right now. We’re going to sing this as loud as we can from the beginning to the end… cause she’s gonna be chill.”

Cooper and her family joined Ed in Orlando the following night and according to the Miami Herald, Cooper’s dad, Rocky owns a karaoke company (RockStarr Productions) and Rocky says that his daughter is convinced Ed is actually singing his dad’s songs.

Rocky says, “I’m a singer and I sing only Ed Sheeran to her.  She hears it on the radio when I’m not around and she’s looking for daddy. She’s been listening to him since before she was born. We had speakers that we could attach to my wife’s stomach where I would play his songs for her.”
