Here is a look inside Ed Sheeran's $36K a month Brooklyn rental as he fights ... trends now
Pop singer Ed Sheeran has rented a $36,000-per-month apartment in Brooklyn while he defends himself in a $100million copyright trial alleging one of his songs ripped off a Marvin Gaye track.
Sheeran's new pad sits alongside Brooklyn Bridge Park, steps from the iconic bridge itself, and boasts stunning views of the downtown Manhattan skyline.
The 32-year-old British singer-songwriter has been in and out of a Manhattan courthouse for the last week while defending himself against claims that his hit 'Thinking Out Loud' borrowed excessively heavily from Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get it On.'
He has vehemently denied the claims he infringed upon Gaye and his co-writer Ed Townsend's 1973 hit, and even vowed that he will be 'done' with music if found guilty.
His new luxury apartment, listed by Societe Real Estate's Sarah Williams, has four bedrooms and four bathrooms spread over 3,239 square-feet and two floors. When it first hit the market in January, the apartment was the most expensive in all of Brooklyn.

The sprawling apartment comes furnished with luxury furniture from brands like West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Rejuvenation, Arteriors, Gervasoni and Cassina, according to the listing.
Hardwood covers the floors across many of the rooms, a wrap-around kitchen with walnut cabinets and marble countertops looks out on to a dining and breakfast area on the second floor, while a wide staircase stretches down to a double-long den and living room with two-story ceilings lined with windows top to bottom.
Bookshelves line the walls behind the stairs across the first floor, where all four of the apartment's bedrooms are located— three on one side of the apartment, with the master facing the river and Manhattan on the other.
The master bedroom and the living room both open out onto a 32-foot wide terrace beneath another terrace on the floor above. The roof has its own private terrace that is reached by another wide staircase.
All terraces are appointed with designer-maintained foliage and furniture, while the rooftop has a full grill and dining area.
The bathrooms feature spa-worthy amenities including walk-in glass showers, bathtubs, and dynamic lighting.
It is unclear whether he will remain in the apartment in the long term, or is only leasing it for the duration of the trial. Sheeran primarily calls the United Kingdom home.
