Ed Sheeran Opener Maisie Peters Invites Barista to Show Via Napkin
TikTok waited with bated breath to see if he would show.
Rising pop star Maisie Peters proved she’s nothing if not grounded when she shared her latest interaction—or lack thereof—with a boy on TikTok.
The popular TikToker signed on to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records last June, and her debut album, You Signed Up For This, followed just a couple of months later. Now, Peters in on tour in Europe with Sheeran, opening for him every night, but make no mistake—many in the audience are there for her.
Peters is one young artist who was able to use TikTok to her advantage, sending her songs viral long before they were ever released, regularly interacting with her fans in the comments, and showing off her lyrical genius and unparalleled sense of humor.
While out and about during the day of their performance in Gothenburg, Sweden, Peters and a couple of her tour mates decided to pop into a coffee shop, where they naturally documented the experience. Captioned, “do blondes have more fun i think so,” referencing her newest single “Blonde," the video showed her scribbling a note on a napkin with a big grin on her face, a friend watching closely over her shoulder with the same reaction.
Text overlaid on the clip informed fans that she "saw a really cute man in the coffee shop so i decided to write him a note inviting him to the ed sheran show we are playing later and leave it by his work station . and that is on being in ur blonde era.”
She flipped the camera to zoom in on the note, which read, “Hello, My name is Maisie, I was the blonde girl in the yellow top. Just wanted to say I think you’re beautiful! I’m playing a show tonight if you wanna come message me on Instagram @maisiehpeters. Have a nice day! Maisie x." She then left it at the counter where he was working and made a great escape, giggling all the way out.

“YES MAISIE! Blonde is all about being bold, mega slay ??,” one commenter wrote.
“big Main Character Energy I am ?obsessed?,” said another.
But, most importantly, everyone wanted to know, “Did he come to your show ?.update plz.”
Peters told fans that she'd have to wait till the show later that evening to find out, but promised to keep fans posted.

And she did! Sadly, when she finally shared the update, it wasn't the rom-com ending may were hoping for.
In what she’s calling the “biggest humbling of the 21st century,” the short answer is no, coffee shop man did not show up.
“clearly i was getting too powerful a man had to ruin it <3” the caption of the update said. With a disappointed look on her face, Peters stared off to the side for the duration of the update, which came in the form of another text overlay letting us know that not only did the barista not show up, he never even messaged her. “today blonde era suffered a knock but not a setback we bounce back stronger than ever .”
Both videos were backed by “Blonde,” which ironically includes the lyrics “Nothing more frightening than a woman scorned,” and Peters isn’t letting the rejection slow her down.
