Ed Sheeranapparently likes to give large NSFW gifts, according toSam Smith.
During an appearance on Tuesday’s episode ofTheKelly ClarksonShow, the “Stay with Me” singer-songwriter revealed they received a phallic statue from Sheeran that sits more than six feet tall and weighs over two tons.
“Oh my God… It’s actually wild. I thought it was a joke, but it’s a six-foot-two marble penis,” Smith, 30, told hostKelly Clarkson, who asked for details about the suggestive present. “It’s two tons, and I’m gonna have to get it craned into my house.”
Regarding Smith’s plans for the statue, they said, “Well, I want to turn it into a fountain, which I think will be hard to do.”
Clarkson, 40, encouraged Smith to name the statue, and they collaborated on suggestions. After passing on “Philip” and “Kevin” — “That reminds me ofHome Alone, so it feels a little weird,” said theAmerican Idolalum — the musicians settled on “Duke of Hastings,” a nod toBridgerton. “Sounds grand and [six-foot-two inches tall],” she quipped.
Elsewhere in the interview, Smith detailed the inspiration behind their latest single, “Unholy” featuring Kim Petras — and specifically the lyrics: “A lucky, lucky girl / She got married to a boy like you / She’d kick you out if she ever, ever knew / ‘Bout all the —- you tell me that you do.”
“This song is about being part of someone’s secret that you don’t want to be a part of,” Smith told Clarkson. “Being in the music industry, I’ve spent a lot of time with a lot of guys and a lot of dirty pigs. I’ve been part of secrets I didn’t want to be a part of sometimes… I hate secrets. I’m not into it.”
At the beginning of the episode, the pair performed a vocally mesmerizing duet version of Clarkson’s 2004 hit single, “Breakaway,” as part of the NBC talk show’s daily Kellyoke segment.
