In the midst of this, the superstar decided to drop by Church Street on Sunday morning to give a surprise performance. However, just as the singer began to croon out the first few lines of Shape of You, a police person pulled the plug citing a lack of permission by the singer's team.

Recalling her excitement at a regular work day turn into a once-in-a-lifetime moment, Deha A, a 21-year-old cafeteria employee, says, "We had no idea Ed Sheeran would come even though we were watching people set up. In about 30 minutes, the whole street was crowded. It was my first time watching a live performance like this and my hands were shaking!"
