Beyonce and Jay Z have enjoyed a date night with Ed Sheeran, which included pizza at a dive bar.

The couple were spotted in the crowd as the Thinking Out Loud star perform at the Barclays Centre in Jay’s hometown of Brooklyn, reported E!

Fellow gig-goers were quick to share their sightings of the pair, seated in the front row, on social media.

Beyonce, sporting beach waves, wore a denim shirt, while her husband had on a camouflage jacket with a black fedora hat.

Ed, who has brought his x tour to the US, told American talk show host Jimmy Fallon that the trio feasted on pizza after the gig.

“It’s really random. I grew up listening to them and then suddenly, I was sitting across them eating a slice of pizza, and I was like, ‘Alright? What’s going on?’,” he recalled.

“I didn’t really know what they were up for, so I was like, ‘My mate owns a dive bar. Do you want to go and do some shots?’ We turned up and there was some folk jam going on, and we jammed some folk.”

Ed added: “They were the coolest people. They were just open to whatever.”

Meanwhile, Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – has shared his first Tidal playlist, which includes a tune from his wife. It also features Drake and Nicki Minaj.
