Ed Sheeran says he’d call Taylor Swift in a bad situation
In an interview with GQ UK, Sheeran opened up about his friendship with the pop star and how he draws inspiration from their work.
“You know that me and Taylor have been friends for ten years now; We saw how we evolved as people,” Sheeran shared. “I thought what she did with the two albums she put out during the pandemic is how albums will be released going forward. That’s how I would like to do it.”
“Taylor is just someone I would definitely call if things really sucked,” the singer continued. “This isn’t just an exercise in naming names and sounding like an asshole; I remember after two years of my career I was traveling in Los Angeles and all my friends were just famous people and I was so… miserable.
“I came to this realization where I said to myself, ‘Nobody here really loves me.’ They loved the idea of me, but nobody really loves me. So I left. Forever,” Sheeran finished.
