Why Ed Sheeran Has Never Hooked Up with Taylor Swift

While it is obvious from their numerous selfies, award show antics, and adorable music video that Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are super close, Ed has never thought about filling a blank space on Taylor’s long list of ex-lovers.

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, a radio show on New York Power 105.1, the singer-songwriter was asked by the host if he had ever “smashed” pal, Taylor Swift. Ed was as awkwardly adorable as always, replying that the two had never been romantically involved. He admitted that he didn’t know why but said, “I met her professionally first, we were writing songs. I don’t know, I get along really well with her.” 

When asked if they hadn’t hooked up out of fear of ruining their friendship, Sheeran revealed that his beautiful bestie simply isn’t his type. “Too tall,” he said of the “Bad Blood” singer. The ever witty 24-year-old later added, “I feel like we look like cast members of The Hobbit.”

By his recent third-wheel appearances with Taylor and Calvin Harris, we’re pretty sure that Ed isn’t in his room playing Swift’s 2008 hit, “You Belong With Me.”

He looks pretty happy to us.

And obviously Ed and Calvin are great pals.

They even have entertaining group conversations.

Check out Ed “Thinking Out Loud” about his famous BFF!

She realizes that her last name is Trusty and does that make her trusty? Yes, yes it does. She cares way more about the goings on of Kylie Jenner, One Direction, and the rest of the celebrity population way more than the average person should. So as opposed to becoming a professional paparazzo, she does this while she studies Broadcast Journalism at the University of South Carolina.
