Ed Sheeran is branching out into a whole direction beyond music: working at a Lego Store. In a video Sheeran posted on Instagram, the “Shape of You” singer reveals he’s serving as a “brick specialist” at the Lego Store in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Sheeran hardly went unnoticed, with shoppers freaking out when they recognized him, asking him to autograph their Lego boxes and pose for selfies.

So what does it all mean? Fans are theorizing that Sheeran will be releasing a new album in the fall, with some sort of collaboration with Lego underlying project.
