Ed Sheeran Reflects on Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ Tour Memories During ‘Call Her Daddy’ Interview
Ed Sheeran Reflects on Bond with Taylor Swift During Call Her Daddy Appearance
In a nostalgia-fueled chat on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, Ed Sheeran opened up about the profound connection he’s maintained with pop titan Taylor Swift, reminiscing about their shared experiences while touring together on Swift’s iconic Red tour nearly a decade ago.
The backdrop of Sheeran’s fond memories is underscored by their recent collaboration at Wembley Stadium, where Swift surprised the crowd with a special appearance from Sheeran, prompting a powerful medley of “Everything Has Changed,” “End Game,” and “Thinking Out Loud.” Their performance felt like a full-circle moment, taking fans back to the whirlwind of 2013 when they toured extensively together. “I literally spent almost every single day with her for about six months,” Sheeran stated, recalling the strong bond that flourished as they traveled from gig to gig, both based out of Nashville at the time.
Listening to Sheeran, it’s clear that these memories remain vivid and treasured. The singer recounted how a recent legal battle required him to sift through old texts and messages, resulting in a profound sense of nostalgia. “Going through all my old texts with people that I’ve known for that long, it was really like nostalgic going through,” he said, reminiscing about the times they’d share heartfelt conversations mid-flight between shows.
Though their schedules have become busier and their meet-ups more sporadic—Sheeran estimates they only see each other about four times a year—their friendship retains its close-knit spirit. “I probably see her like four times a year, and we do what I said—like proper sit down, six-hour catch-ups,” he mused. “And I think that’s like a really nice way to do it.”
In a rare display of vulnerability, Sheeran’s reflections reveal an underlying depth to his relationship with Swift, particularly as she often highlights him in her own performances. During her Wembley introduction, she affectionately described Sheeran as one of her “best friends in the world” and expressed her fondness for their shared memories. “Every time I’m doing the Red part of the show, I think about the memories that we’ve made,” she said.
Even as the pair operate on separate trajectories — both becoming Goliaths in the music industry — their friendship remains strikingly authentic. Sheeran’s recollections on Call Her Daddy illuminate the unique rapport they’ve built, documented over countless hours shared in airports, dressing rooms, and stages around the globe. Amid the pressures of fame, it’s the genuine human connection that shines brightly through their enduring friendship.
As both artists continue to thrive independently, it’s clear that their bond is resilient, grounded in memories that transcend the glamour of their professional lives. Whether performing at iconic venues or enjoying intimate catch-ups, their friendship illuminates the depth of collaboration and camaraderie in the ever-evolving landscape of music.
