\"\u201cWe\u2019re(Image via Getty: Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift) Taylor Swift<\/a>, the billionaire pop superstar, and Ed Sheeran, a multi-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, have been close friends for years. Their bond reportedly scintillated in 2012 when Sheeran spotted his own lyrics from \u201cLego House\u201d song inked on Swift\u2019s arm during a concert. Sheeran then joined Swift as the opening act for her \u201cRed Tour\u201d in 2013-14, a time when the two were nearly inseparable. Fast forward to today, Sheeran only learned about Swift\u2019s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce<\/a> a week after the news broke on cyberspace. In a chat with Access Hollywood\u2019s Emily Orozco about his upcoming Netflix musical special with director Philip Barantini, \u201cONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran: A Music Experience,\u201d Sheeran revealed why he was late to the news.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran shared a marathon four-hour conversation after she revealed her engagement to Travis Kelce<\/p>\n

The \u201cShape of You\u201d singer explained that he has ditched his iPad<\/a> and is no longer plugged into social media, preferring real-life human connections. For Sheeran, his friendship with Swift is rooted in genuine moments, like their recent four-hour catch-up, rather than constant digital updates every now and then. He emphasized that their relationship is effortless and enduring, always picking up right where they left off. \u201cI\u2019ve actually got rid of the iPad as well, so I\u2019m not on anything anymore,\u201d Sheeran shared. \u201cMy way of viewing it is like me and Taylor are mates, and I will see her, and I saw her a week after that (engagement) happened. So I did that interview, and I saw her, and you talk in person\u2026I kind of feel like, being in touch with everyone, you lose actual human connection. Like, if I see Phil, I\u2019m there, and I\u2019m talking to him, and we\u2019re catching up. So, when I saw Taylor, we had a four-hour catch-up,\u201d Sheeran further explained, \u201cIt\u2019s life stuff rather than, I don\u2019t know, you know what I mean? I\u2019m not self-conscious about my relationship with her. We\u2019ve been friends for very, very many years. We\u2019re 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.\u201d <\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran Details Catching Up w\/ Taylor Swift After She Didn’t Tell Him About Her Engagement<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she explained how she keeps in touch with Ed Sheeran<\/p>\n

Back in October, Swift appeared on \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d and explained why Sheeran didn\u2019t hear about her and Travis Kelce\u2019s engagement from her before it went viral on cyberspace. She revealed, with a laugh, that Sheeran is famously phone-free, so he never popped up in her recent texts. \u201cI have a perfect explanation\u2026he doesn\u2019t have a phone,\u201d Swift said. \u201cI\u2019m going through my texts and being like, \u2018Who have I texted within the last month in my life?\u2019 And he just wasn\u2019t there.\u201d To get in touch, Swift explained, you have to email him, and if you want to FaceTime, someone has to track down an iPad and hand it to him as you would to a kid. \u201cYou have to email him,\u201d Swift shared. \u201cIf you want to set up a FaceTime, he has to find an iPad. They have to give it to him like he\u2019s a child that you give the iPad to.\u201d Swift gushed about Sheeran being one of her favorite people. To her, he\u2019s family. She loves him, even if he\u2019s off the grid. \u201cThis is one of my absolute favorite people on the planet,\u201d Swift shared. \u201cWhen the news came out, I was like, \u2018We forgot to call Ed! Oh, no!\u2019 He\u2019s like family. I love him. But he doesn\u2019t have a phone.\u201dMore coverage on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce:Streaming giants circling Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce wedding for potential $70M rights \u2014 insiders say it would dwarf the Super Bowl<\/a>\u201cMr. Swift looking sharp\u201d: Travis Kelce\u2019s viral suit has Chiefs fans convinced Taylor Swift is behind his new grown-man style<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Image via Getty: Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift) Taylor Swift, the billionaire pop superstar, and Ed Sheeran, a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159555,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[20772,4249,96154,96153,146,85,4083,46,409,400,2070,96155,23094,2071],"class_list":["post-159554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-celebrity-friendships","tag-ed-sheeran","tag-ed-sheeran-social-media-disconnect","tag-engagement-news","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-ipad","tag-israel","tag-music","tag-netflix","tag-taylor-swift","tag-taylor-swift-catch-up-with-ed-sheeran","tag-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon","tag-travis-kelce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159554\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
