Ed Sheeran Confirms Four-Hour In-Person Catch-Up With Taylor Swift After Her Engagement

His on-record account pushes back on rift rumors tied to closely timed album releases.

Overview

  • In an Access Hollywood interview published Nov. 28, Sheeran said he saw Swift about a week after the engagement announcement and they spoke in person for four hours.
  • He said he learned of the news on Instagram because he does not use a cell phone and has recently stopped using an iPad.
  • Sheeran characterized the friendship as long-standing and easy, saying they simply pick up where they left off whenever they meet.
  • Swift previously told The Tonight Show that she forgot to call him because he does not have a phone, a detail Sheeran has acknowledged in a playful TikTok comment.
  • Reports suggesting strain linked to the timing of their album releases come from unnamed sources and are countered by both artists’ public explanations.
