So... two Americans are going to perform at King Charles' coronation, and a Canadian and a Brit are going to judge American Idol while they're off doing that?

Yes!

It's like raaaaaaaaaain on your coronation day!

Wasn't Ed Sheeran one of the acts who couldn't perform at the coronation because he was too busy?

[silverstarry]

I love that Ed Sheeran's excuse for not going was "too busy" and now he is showing up as the substitute teacher so that Lionel Richie can attend.

This actually makes me like him a bit.

It almost makes me want to forgive him for having that thinking out loud song in my head.

Apparently he’s also going to be too busy to go

"My girl's gonna be singing, that's fun," he told "Entertainment Tonight" earlier this week. "I'm not gonna make it there, sadly, but she's representing, which is cool. She does those big, historical things. It's wonderful. She sang for the president, too, you know?"

"Who's left?" he continued. "Maybe the pope."

MAYBE THE POPE AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The mental image of Katy singing, "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" at the pope.

Katherine can make it happen.
