Imagine hopping into a taxi with one of the biggest pop stars in the world—and not even knowing it! That’s exactly what happened this week when Harry Styles, the former One Direction heartthrob, took a ride with a London cabbie who had no clue who he was. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran’s been making waves in a taxi of his own, serenading fans from the backseat. Buckle up—this is a wild ride you won’t want to miss!
A Star In Disguise: Harry’s Hilarious Taxi Tale
On March 23, 2025, a London taxi driver picked up a passenger she described as just “this young fella.” Little did she know, that “fella” was Harry Styles! The driver, who later shared a sweet selfie with the singer on Instagram, admitted she didn’t recognize him at first. It wasn’t until his famous voice—smooth as ever—gave him away that she realized she had a superstar in her cab. “I thought he sounded like Harry Styles… because it was him!” she posted, sparking a viral moment that’s got fans buzzing.
Harry, known for his flashy fashion and swoon-worthy tunes, apparently toned it down for this ride. Maybe it was a hoodie day, or perhaps he’s just that good at blending in when he wants to. Either way, the photo of the two grinning together has fans screaming, “How do you not spot Harry Styles?!”

Ed Sheeran Joins The Taxi Party
While Harry was busy going incognito, Ed Sheeran took a different route—literally. Spotted in a New York City taxi, the “Shape of You” singer turned the backseat into his own mini stage, belting out a tune that left fans in a frenzy. A video of Ed’s impromptu performance hit the internet on March 28, 2025, and it’s already racked up views faster than you can say “viral.”
From London to NYC, these two British icons are proving that taxis aren’t just for getting around—they’re where the magic happens. Ed’s chill vibes and Harry’s sneaky charm have turned everyday cab rides into headline-worthy adventures.
Why We’re Obsessed With This
Let’s be real: there’s something downright delightful about mega-stars like Harry and Ed popping up in the most ordinary places. Harry’s undercover moment shows he’s still got that down-to-earth charm, even with a voice that could melt hearts worldwide. And Ed? Well, he’s just reminding us why we love his spontaneous, music-everywhere energy.
Social media’s exploding with reactions. “Harry in a taxi and the driver didn’t know? Iconic!” one fan tweeted. Another chimed in, “Ed Sheeran singing in a cab is my new favorite thing.” It’s relatable, it’s random, and it’s giving us all the feels.
