The post got an unprecedented 2.5 million likes, which is much above average for Sheeran’s page. Beyoncé, on the other hand, owns the most and third-most liked Instagram photo of 2017.

The pair have performed twice before – once with a rendition of “Drunk in Love” at the Global Citizen Festival in 2015, and another during a tribute to Stevie Wonder at “Songs in the Key of Life – An All-Star Salute.”

The original version of “Perfect” came out on Sheeran’s third studio album, Divide, which earned him two Grammy nods. The lead single, “Shape of You,” was the No. 1 consumed track of 2017 (through Nov. 17). “Perfect” is Beyoncé’s third collaboration recently, as she accompanied J Balvin and Willy William on “Mi Gente” and with Eminem on “Walk on Water.”
