So did Ed Sheeran date Taylor Swift in the past? What’s all the buzz surrounding this hot topic? Here is your query answered.
Why fans are asking ‘Did Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift date?’
The “Did Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift date?” trend took off after the former shared a series of photos on Instagram, promoting his new song “Old Phone.”
The photo series includes a third image — a selfie of a young Sheeran and Swift. It was this photo that created a lot of buzz amongst fans. Check out the post below:
However, neither Swift nor Sheeran has ever confirmed that a relationship between them happened.
The above photos are from Sheeran’s old phone, which he had stopped using in 2015. As mentioned in the post’s caption, Sheeran recalled switching on his old phone during his court case. The case revolved around the copyright lawsuit concerning his 2014 single “Thinking Out Loud,” which Marvin Gaye’s estate alleged copied elements of Gaye’s song “Let’s Get It On.”
Sheeran then explained the messages he had received. His first message was from a dear friend, Jamal Edwards, who passed recently. Meanwhile, the second message was from an ex-girlfriend. The third came from a family member he hadn’t been in contact with for years.
“It felt like a time capsule, a time of life that I was in, and living at that time in 2015,” Sheeran noted.
The Photograph crooner then opened up about “scrolling” through “messages and conversations” he had with people who are now dead. He further mentioned “crying at messages to friends who are now dead” and whom he “won’t get to speak to again.”
Sheeran then explained how he wrote “Old Phone” “at 2 am whilst jet lagged in India, finishing the album.” He also mentioned recording it “that morning.” The singer-songwriter then expressed his hopes that fans could resonate with the song emotionally.
