Like everyone else. You didn\u2019t even get a DM in advance?\u201d host Cohen asked. \u201cNo,\u201d Sheeran replied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cohen then pressed the 34-year-old further: \u201cHave you heard Taylor\u2019s new album?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d said Sheeran. \u201cDid you get a save-the-date for the wedding?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d he replied again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the red-headed singer hasn\u2019t necessarily received an invitation yet, it\u2019s likely he will, given the <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/music\/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-friendship-timeline\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:long-standing friendship;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">long-standing friendship<\/a> between the two. Swift and Sheeran first became close in 2012, after he learned that she had penned his lyrics to his song \u201cLego House\u201d on her arm during an Australian show, something Swift used to do during the early years of her career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During Taylor\u2019s Red era, the <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/how-ed-sheeran-maintains-taylor-swift-friendship-11712320\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:friends collaborated;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">friends collaborated<\/a> on the duet \u201cEverything Has Changed\u201d from her 2012 album Red. Sheeran even joined Swift on her Red tour in 2012 and 2013. They collaborated again on \u201cEnd Game\u201d from her sixth album, Reputation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Red (Taylor\u2019s Version), released November 12, 2021, Swift and Sheeran reunited once again to rerecord \u201cEverything Has Changed.\u201d They also released another previously written song from 2012 called \u201cRun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a recent interview on \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d Sheeran opened up about how the two maintained their friendship. \u201cI probably see her like four times a year and we do what I said, like instead of catching up the whole time, we have a proper sit-down, six-hour catchups and I think that&#8217;s a really nice way to do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In another interview in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6v4ItwhKZ6k\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:May 2023;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">May 2023<\/a>, Sheeran told Zane Lowe that he is able to have &#8220;long&#8221; conversations with Swift because &#8220;she&#8217;s one of the only people that actually truly understands where I&#8217;m at.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I mean that in itself is kind of therapy as well, because you&#8217;re actually talking to someone that genuinely gets it,&#8221; said Sheeran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That has all the things that you feel and have insecurities about and how other people treat you or how your family treat you, how your friends treat you. She&#8217;s basically in the same sphere,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While this may surprise some Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift fans, the British \u201cPhotograph\u201d singer learned about Swift\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2002,8720,93,61,60,278,6543,32777,6550],"class_list":["post-44042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-andy-cohen","tag-ed-sheeran","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-taylor-swift","tag-taylors-version","tag-travis-kelce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
