Locals who showed up at the pub for their usual Tuesday evening tipple would have been surprised to see its doors closed to the public. Sheeran was there to film his latest music video for — you guessed it — "Galway Girl."

Hundreds of Sheeran fans flooded the street outside the pub, hoping to catch a glimpse of the singer.

As he left, Sheeran snapped a picture of his devoted fans and shared it on Instagram.

Thank you to Galway and all the wonderful people in it for helping us shoot a music video yesterday x
