A newspaper in Indonesia has seemingly failed to distinguish Ed Sheeran, the British singer-songwriter known for the mega-hit Shape of You, from Tom Hiddleston, most famous as the British heartthrob who portrayed the shape-shifting God of Mischief Loki in the Marvel films.
On Sunday, a tweet containing a newspaper clipping about Sheeran’s upcoming Jakarta concert went viral. You can probably spot the glaring error:

That’s Loki, you son of a bitch.
It’s not clear which newspaper the clipping was taken from, but the tweet has drawn various reactions from netizens, some of whom offered their own theories for the huge pop culture fail.

“Maybe the one who will perform at the concert is Loki in the form of Ed Sheeran, let’s think positively, guys. Loki is a shape-shifter”

At the time of writing, the tweet has received more than 21,000 retweets.
After cancelling his planned concert for November, Ed Sheeran has confirmed that he will be performing at Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on May 3, 2019 as part of his “Divide World Tour”.
PK Entertainment, the concert’s promoter, said there were 45,000 tickets available with prices ranging from IDR550,000++ (US$38) to IDR2.6 million++. Tickets are currently on sale through the concert’s official website, https://edsheeranjakarta.com/ and also through Tokopedia.
Hopefully Sheeran himself will show up at the concert. Though if Hiddleston were to show up instead, we certainly wouldn’t mind, as long as he does this:
