Ed Sheeran Calls Taylor Swift 'Like a Sibling,' Says Their Bond Is Creatively Intertwined

The singer made the remarks on THR’s Awards Chatter podcast, aligning with Swift’s long-standing James TaylorCarole King comparison.

Overview

  • In the newly published podcast interview, Sheeran said he feels “very intertwined creatively” with Swift and that when they reconnect it feels like no time has passed.
  • He agreed with Swift’s 2017 description of their partnership as akin to James Taylor and Carole King.
  • Sheeran traced their beginnings to meeting a member of Swift’s team during Snow Patrol shows in Nashville, leading to writing together and his stint on her Red tour.
  • Swift recently joked that she forgot to call him about her August engagement because he doesn’t use a phone, and Sheeran said they later had a four-hour catch-up.
  • Their collaborations include Everything Has Changed, The Joker and the Queen, and Run, and they now reconnect periodically as they balance touring, family life and other commitments.
