Another year, another "Photograph!"

On Saturday, Ed Sheeran toasted himself on Instagram — and received plenty of love from friends and fans — as he rang in his 33rd birthday with celebratory images of himself.

"Happy birthday to me," the Grammy winner wrote, as he shared two photos to mark the occasion.

One image showed Sheeran holding an adorable Colin the Caterpillar plush toy as he stared blankly into the camera with a party horn in his mouth, a birthday hat on his head, and several gold and white balloons surrounding him.

In another pic, the "Shape of You" singer wore a pair of hot pink "happy birthday" sunglasses, as he rocked a T-shirt featuring images of his security guard and pal, Kevin Myers.

Several friends and fans alike celebrated Sheeran's big day in his post's comment section, including J Balvin, Terry Crews and British MC Big Narstie.

"Happy birthday brother!🔥🔥🔥," Crews wrote, while Balvin added, "Looking for you!! To wish u happy birthday day."

Sheeran should be expecting a milestone 33rd year after all of the achievements that the past 12 months have brought him. Among his many accomplishments since last February, the singer-songwriter celebrated his first win at the 2023 Creative Emmy Awards, surprised 50 Cent fans onstage during a performance in London, released his season-inspired album Autumn Variations, and even broke a few records with his Mathematics Tour.

Sheeran's birthday arrives shortly after his appearance at the Grammy Awards this month, where his LP - (Subtract) was nominated in the best pop vocal album category. He ultimately lost to Taylor Swift, who won the award (along with the coveted album of the year trophy) for 2023's Midnights.

Last month, Sheeran also marked a pretty unique milestone when he returned to a cat cafe in Japan, the same one where he crooned "Thinking Out Loud" to a group of uninterested cats in 2014.

In the video, the pop star called the experience "not more successful than my last visit" as he sang "Thinking Out Loud," with only a few cats appearing to be enthused by his appearance a decade later.

"Trying to win over the same kitties that ran away from me in 2014, same results," he jokingly captioned the clip.

In December, Sheeran also gave his cat-loving fans another reason to hit the follow button when he shared an Instagram image of himself cuddled up to one of Swift's three cats, Meredith Grey.

In the post, which he captioned "Dumpington #3," the "Bad Habits" singer sported a simple white tee as he snuggled with the animal on an ottoman.
