**Ed Sheeran** saw all the "71" TikToks - and *yes*, he's responded, in the most epic way!

In case you missed the slew of videos hitting the streaming platform right now, here's a little background: In his song "Thinking Out Loud", Ed sings about loving someone "'til we're sevent-y". And TikTokers, doing what they do best, have been posting videos of people flipping off the camera to the song, with the caption "when he turns 71", playfully roasting Ed about what happens to his relationship *after* he turns sevent-y.

So now Ed has jumped on the bandwagon, hilariously posting a video of himself also sticking up his middle finger at the camera with the caption, "when they turn 71".

"He saw the meme," one Insta user commented, to which Ed replied "I see all the memes. I am the memes."

Another cheekily pointed out that he could've used the word "eternity" instead of "seventy", but well, too late now, I guess.

Another posted "Laughing out loud" - a play on the song's original title, but also LOL, because *lol indeed.* 

Go on, watch the video below for a little giggle:

Ed Sheeran is currently on tour and will head to Cyprus, Brazil and Spain next. He recently stopped by Wembley Stadium in London where he made a surprise appearance at Taylor Swift's Eras tour. The pair performed a mash-up of "Everything Has Changed" and "End Game" for 92,000 fans.

Introducing him on stage, Taylor described how much Ed means to her - "a second brother" - and highlighted his kindness too:

"He's working so hard, and he's on tour right now and he's probably so tired. But he wanted to come and play for you and do this for all of us."
