Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran is collaborating with country music act The Shires.

The country duo Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes met Sheeran in Nashville at the afterparty for his concert.

The British singer offered them his track "Stay The Night", Contactmusic reported.

"Crissie and I went along to an after-party Ed was hosting after his concert at Nashville but she wasn't feeling great. He told us he was familiar with our music and we were like, 'Woah, that's incredible'. 'A few hours later I was about to leave and I saw Ed and his mates playing a drinking game with a girl who was downing beer out of a keg while doing a handstand.
 

"Everyone there was cheering, it was pretty mental. Then I did a double take and it was Crissie. Afterwards we said it would be great if we could work together in the future, and a few days later he sent us his track 'Stay The Night'."

Crissie added, "So basically my drinking ability got us an Ed Sheeran song.
