“I lived in Nashville, and she lived in Nashville,” he remembered. “And we used to fly to and from the gigs together and do all sorts of [stuff].
“I literally spent almost every single day with her for about six months,” Sheeran continued.
He also mentioned Swift, 35, while reflecting on how “nostalgic” it was to revisit old texts for recent court cases regarding copyright infringement lawsuits.

While the duo don’t often discuss their bond publicly, Sheeran did speak to Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 in 2023 about their connection being like “therapy” for him.
“You’re actually talking to someone that genuinely gets it, that has all the things that you feel and have insecurities about and how other people treat you or how your family treats you, how your friends treat you,” he explained.
Sheeran noted at the time that he and Swift are “basically in the same sphere” of fame.
