"I wanted to make a video inspired by movies like Harvey, where the main character has an imaginary friend who's a giant rabbit that no one can see. Often sadness is something that follows you around, engulfing the rooms you're in, and you can feel and see it, but no one else around you can. So I decided to create my own big blue monster for the video. He gets bigger and bigger as the video goes on, 'til he takes up whole rooms, and is all I can see, just like sadness," Sheeran said on the album, according to a press release.

The innovative approach has been appreciated by both consumers and Ed Sheeran fans alike, with many taking to Twitter to express their love and appreciation for Swiggy's creativity and #SadBlueMonster

The in-app integration like revamping the home page and the blue monster eyes as an icon has led to a series of hilarious viral memes and many brands like Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon MiniTV hopped on to the twitter conversation.
