Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has opened up about his long-standing friendship with Taylor Swift — and his nostalgic reflections have stirred up more than a few whispers among fans. While speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast , Sheeran shared intimate memories of their time touring together, describing their past bond as nearly inseparable. With Taylor now in a high-profile relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, the timing and tone of Sheeran's comments have sparked chatter on social media.
Ed Sheeran recalls inseparable bond with Taylor Swift during the Red tour
Looking back on his early days of touring with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran painted a vivid picture of closeness. “I literally spent almost every single day with her for about six months,” he said, referring to the time he spent as the opening act on Swift’s Red tour. “I lived in Nashville, and she lived in Nashville, and we used to fly to and from the gigs together.”
That period, according to Sheeran, left a lasting impact on him. He admitted to revisiting old text messages and voice notes from that time, describing a sense of deep nostalgia. “I think that period of time, I do, you know, I see her when I see her,” he said, adding that while they’re not as constantly in touch now, the bond is still intact.
Even with their hectic careers, Sheeran noted that he and Swift make time for meaningful catch-ups. “I probably see her like four times a year and we do what I said, like proper sit-down, six-hour catch-ups,” he revealed. The two recently reunited during Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in August 2024, where they performed their hit Everything Has Changed — a nostalgic nod to their earlier collaboration on the Red album.
While there’s no evidence of tension between Sheeran and Kelce, some fans have raised eyebrows over the emotional tone of Sheeran’s memories. With his emphasis on the “inseparable” connection they once shared, speculation has naturally followed about how Kelce might feel about the close bond. Regardless of public perception, both Swift and Sheeran have built a friendship that spans over a decade — one that continues to thrive even as their lives evolve.

While neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly addressed the buzz surrounding Sheeran’s comments, the timing couldn’t be more sensitive. With Swift taking a break after her Eras Tour and Kelce coming off a grueling NFL season, their relationship has already been under the microscope. The resurfacing of Taylor’s close ties with Ed — especially framed in such heartfelt terms — has only intensified fan speculation. Still, insiders insist that Swift and Kelce are secure in their relationship and that Sheeran’s remarks are simply a reflection of genuine friendship, not romantic undertones.
