Ed Sheeran Says He Had a “Four-Hour Catch-Up” With Taylor Swift After Hearing About Her Engagement
Ed Sheeran has revealed he spent an extended evening catching up with Taylor Swift after discovering news of her engagement online. Speaking to outlets including People, Page Six, and IBTimes UK, Sheeran said the pair met for roughly four hours to “catch up on everything” after noticing the news on Instagram.
The singer joked that his busy schedule prevented him from finding out sooner, but said the long conversation was filled with encouragement, laughter, and discussion of future creative plans. Despite years of rumours claiming the two had drifted apart, Sheeran made it clear they remain close: “Whenever we talk, it’s like no time has passed.”
The revelation has sparked new excitement among fans of both artists, who have long enjoyed Sheeran and Swift’s collaborative history, including their work on “Everything Has Changed” and “End Game.” The prolonged catch-up also arrives at an interesting time, as Swift continues to expand her The Life of a Showgirl era and Sheeran prepares new music of his own.
The comments also serve as a rebuttal to earlier tabloid speculation suggesting a rift between the two. By highlighting their recent, lengthy conversation, Sheeran has effectively quieted rumours and reminded the public of the creative bond they’ve maintained for over a decade.
For British fans, the news revives anticipation of potential future collaborations — something both artists have hinted at in interviews but never fully ruled out.
