Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran’s friendship stands strong even after a decade. Fans saw the platonic duo singing praises for each other on multiple occasions. As per the ‘Shape of You’ singer, the reason he gets along so well with Swift is because she is the only person who gets him. He told Zane Lowe on his Apple Music podcast how he can have “long, long, long conversations” with the ‘August’ singer. Their last collaboration, ‘End Game’, was a banger, to say the least, and received platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, and the US.  

While fans were eagerly anticipating the re-recorded version of ‘End Game’, Sheeran announced the release of a new album. And guess what? Turns out his beloved friend Swift has a connection to it as well.  

Ed Sheeran’s new album has this surprising connection to Taylor Swift

Following the release of ‘Subtract’, the 32-year-old singer is back with another upcoming hit ‘Autumn Variations’, which will be released on September 29. The Nationals by Aaron Dessner has produced the album all set to release next month. What is surprising is the fact that Dessber has also collaborated with Swift as well to produce some of her iconic songs.  

The ‘Anti-hero’ creator collaborated with Dessner for multiple albums, including ‘Folklore’ for which the 47-year-old record producer also won a Grammy Award in 2021. Apart from this, he also produced and ‘evermore.’ He also co-wrote the song ‘Ivy’ with Swift and performed it with her during a Saturday show in Cincinnati. However, Dessner is not the only point of connection between Sheeran and Swift. 

Apart from their mutual connection with Dessner, both Sheeran and Swift were offered to perform at the Bowl but turned it down due to their own reasons. 

Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have both refused to perform at Super Bowl

During Andy Cohen’s podcast, Sheeran revealed his reasons for not performing at the Super Bowl 2023. He said he doesn’t have the ‘Pizzazz’ and can’t put up a glamorous performance, like his fellow pop stars. The singer continued how he cannot have “dancers on stage” or “fireworks” as he’s “just not that”. Meanwhile, his friend Swift had a different reason for her refusal to show up at the event.

The 33-year-old pop star was swamped with her Eras Tour and had no time to actually prepare for the bowl. Even though she is interested in performing at the Bowl someday, it will not be happening anytime soon, as per The Daily Mail. With getting closer to hitting a billion with the Eras tour, it is safe to say that everything turned out well!
