A reported rift has surfaced between Taylor Swift and her longtime friend Ed Sheeran following the simultaneous release of their new albums. The two artists, who have shared a close bond since 2012 and have performed together on several occasions, are said to be experiencing strained relations due to the timing of their album launches.
In a playful jab at a past incident involving Kanye West at the VMAs, Taylor Swift once gifted Ed Sheeran a personalized jam jar back in 2013. However, their friendship is reportedly under strain as Ed was unaware of Taylor’s upcoming album, “The Life Of A Showgirl,” which was scheduled for release just weeks after his own album, “Play,” hit the shelves.
According to an inside source, Ed Sheeran meticulously plans his album releases and announced his album four months ahead of the launch date. Taylor’s sudden announcement, just two weeks before her release date, caught Ed off guard, leaving his team scrambling to garner attention before her album dropped. This unexpected move reportedly left Ed feeling perturbed and overshadowed.
Insiders revealed that this was not the first time Taylor had pulled such a move. The Mirror has reached out to representatives for comments on the situation.
Recent revelations by Taylor Swift suggest that Ed Sheeran learned about her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce through her Instagram announcement. During a promotional appearance for her new album, “The Life Of A Showgirl,” on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Taylor shared amusing details about the engagement and her friendship with Ed.
In a light-hearted moment on the show, Taylor admitted that Ed Sheeran indeed discovered her engagement news on Instagram, prompting a comical reaction from the host and the audience. She clarified that Ed lacks a phone and communication with him requires unconventional methods, highlighting the close bond they share.
