Taylor Swift'S Friendship Drama: A Surprise Feud With Ed Sheeran!

Swift's Album Release Causes a Stir

Taylor Swift’s friendships are as legendary as her chart-topping hits, but it seems like the harmony among her famous pals is a bit off-key. The buzz? Her latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," might have rubbed Ed Sheeran the wrong way.

Ed Sheeran's Album Blues

According to The Daily Mail, Ed Sheeran, who shares a long-standing bond with Swift, is feeling the strain. His beef? Swift's album drop was just two weeks after his own, "Play," which hit the shelves on September 12. Sheeran announced his release months in advance, only to find his spotlight dimmed by Swift's surprise announcement.

“Ed takes these things really seriously and carefully plans his album releases,” a music industry source told the U.K. media outlet. "He was very much put out and understandably peeved.”

Past Feuds and Friendship Dynamics

This isn’t the first time Taylor has allegedly ruffled feathers in the music world. Rumor has it, her strategic release tactics have previously caused tension with Charlie XCX over a similar chart-topping maneuver.

Swift and Sheeran’s friendship dates back to their 2012 collab, "Everything Has Changed," and his stint as her tour opener. But it seems like their once-tight dynamic has hit a snag.

Communication Breakdown

The rift might go beyond music. During a recent SiriusXM appearance, Sheeran revealed he found out about Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce through Instagram, not directly from Swift. "You didn’t even get a DM in advance?" host Andy Cohen asked, to which Sheeran simply replied, "No."

Swift, defending her actions on The Tonight Show, explained that Sheeran's aversion to phones made it tricky to keep him in the loop. "He doesn’t have a phone," she said, noting the challenges of reaching him.

Looking Ahead

Despite the whispers of a feud, Sheeran seemed to brush off the rumors with a lighthearted comment on Fallon’s TikTok. It appears that while their friendship might be evolving, it’s not quite a full-blown drama yet. As Swift herself said, "We forgot to call Ed!" Maybe a simple phone call – or email, in Sheeran's case – could patch things up.
