But the surprises didn’t end there. During his two-night stint in Detroit, Ed Sheeran’s show reached new heights when Eminem made a surprise appearance, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Eminem joined Ed on stage to rap on his iconic tracks “Lose Yourself” and “Stan,” igniting the entire Ford Field stadium with their explosive energy and undeniable chemistry.
The collaboration between Sheeran and Em was nothing short of magical, with the duo delivering a powerhouse performance that left the audience in awe.

The internet erupted with excitement as videos of the epic collaboration circulated online, with fans expressing their awe at witnessing two music legends sharing the stage. One fan captured the essence of the moment perfectly, commenting, “The video doesn’t do the justice of how crazy the crowd went when Eminem was on stage. It was phenomenal.”
Sheeran’s Detroit concerts were filled with memorable moments beyond his collaboration with Eminem. The first night saw him performing at the Royal Oak Music Theater in front of a more intimate crowd of 2000 people, where he played his latest album Subtract in its entirety, sharing personal stories behind each song. The following night at Ford Field was equally eventful, with Sheeran bringing out Khalid for “Beautiful People” and violinist Alicia Enstrom for “Galway Girl.”
