Ed Sheeran co-writer celebrates legal win with tattoo

Now everyone knows what she’s “Thinking.”

Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” co-writer Amy Wadge got the pair’s winning copyright verdict tattooed on her arm.

A Manhattan federal jury earlier this month found the longtime collaborators did not rip off Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” with their 2014 hit.

Wadge, 47, last week shared a picture of the celebratory ink on her left arm, which read “independently created” in a typewriter-style typeface.

Heirs of “Let’s Get It On” composer Ed Townsend alleged in a $100 million lawsuit that Sheeran and Wadge’s song contained elements of harmony, melody and rhythm stolen from the classic Gaye tune.

But the jury found the British musicians “independently created” the romantic ballad.

In an Instagram post showing off her new tat, Wadge said she was “on cloud nine about the verdict” which came after “three of the toughest weeks” of her life.

Sheeran, 32, was also overcome with emotion following the legal ordeal. The top-selling singer-songwriter, who rents a $36,000-a-month pad in Brooklyn Heights, celebrated his May 5 legal victory with an impromptu performance on the streets of Soho.

“We have spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords which are also different and used by songwriters every day, all over the world,” Sheeran said in a statement after the verdict was announced.

“No-one owns them or the way they are played, in the same way, nobody owns the colour [sic] blue.”
