ED SHEERAN SQUASHES RIFT RUMOURS WITH TAYLOR SWIFT

Ed Sheeran has moved to put an end to rumours of a fallout between him and Taylor Swift, revealing that the pair remain close friends and recently had a lengthy, four-hour-long conversation to catch up.

The speculation began earlier this year when fans noticed Ed had learned about Taylor’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce via her Instagram post rather than a personal message. Many assumed this indicated tension between the two long-time collaborators, who have shared the studio for hits such as Everything Has Changed, End Game, and Run.

Speaking to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM, Ed clarified the situation when the host expressed surprise that he hadn’t been informed directly about Taylor’s engagement. Ed’s response was simple: “No.” He explained that his friendship with Taylor doesn’t require constant check-ins and that they remain close regardless of the timing of updates.

He expanded on the topic in an interview with Access Hollywood, saying: “I’m not self-conscious about my relationship with her. We’ve been friends for very, very many years. We’re super close and we see each other when we see each other, and when we see each other, we lock back into where we left off.”

Ed further described their friendship as one built on trust and understanding, rather than frequent communication. “My way of viewing it is like, me and Taylor are mates and I will see her… And I saw her a week after that happened, so I did that interview and then I saw her and you talk in person,” he added.

Fans of both superstars can breathe easy knowing there’s no drama behind the headlines. Their friendship has spanned over a decade, surviving the natural ups and downs of fame, touring schedules, and personal milestones. Ed and Taylor have consistently maintained mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work, both in the studio and on stage.

Their recent reunion reportedly included a deep conversation that lasted several hours, reaffirming their bond and highlighting how strong their friendship remains despite media speculation. Friends close to the pair say that their relationship is “as strong as ever” and that both artists enjoy reconnecting and sharing their life experiences whenever they meet.

For fans, it’s a reminder that celebrity friendships can thrive even amidst the pressures of public scrutiny and busy schedules. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift continue to demonstrate that long-term collaboration and mutual support can withstand the gossip and rumours that often swirl around high-profile figures.

With both artists continuing to release new music and tour worldwide, supporters can look forward to future collaborations, or at least occasional public appearances together, without worrying about any lingering tension.

In short, Ed Sheeran’s message is clear: there’s no rift, just a decades-long friendship that adapts to life’s events, Instagram announcements and all.
