Pop star Taylor Swift and close friend Ed Sheeran’s relationship is reportedly ‘strained’ after the American singer pulled a ‘sneaky move’ for her album rollout
Taylor Swift has reportedly fallen out with her ‘second brother’ Ed Sheeran after releasing her new album close to Ed’s own new project. The duo have been friends since 2012, and have even appeared on stage together a number of times.
The Love Story pop singer even sent Ed a personalised jam jar in 2013 as she took a swipe at the VMAs incident involving herself and Kanye West. The jar came with a handwritten label, which included a hilarious shout-out to the infamous moment that shocked the showbiz world.
However, their relationship is now said to be ‘strained’ as Ed was none the wiser about Taylor’s The Life Of A Showgirl album rollout.

Ed announced he was releasing his eighth studio album, Play, on September 12, and months later, Taylor revealed she would be releasing her own album on October 3, which was just weeks after Ed’s.
An insider claimed: “Ed takes these things really seriously, and carefully plans his album releases. He announced his album with four months’ notice, but then Taylor announced her’s for just two weeks after.
‘”It left his team scrabbling to get as much attention before her’s dropped. He was very much put out and understandably peeved.”
Speaking to MailOnline, they claimed it ‘wasn’t the first time Taylor pulled a similar move’. The Mirror have reached out to their reps for comment.
It comes after Taylor revealed Ed found out about her recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce via her Instagram announcement.
While promoting her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, Taylor took to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss her music and engagement.
Host Jimmy asked about which rumours about her were true and which were lies during a fun segment, with him asking: “Did Ed Sheeran learn about your engagement on Instagram?”
As Taylor shockingly admitted: “That’s so true”, the presenter fell to the floor in shock as the audience cheered on. “Oh no,” he gasped before the songstress tried to explain herself.
She went on to add: “I have a perfect explanation,” as she gestured with her hands. As her voice rose, she said: “He doesn’t have a phone.
“He doesn’t have a phone…You have to email him or FaceTime him, and he has to find an iPad, and they have to give it to him like he’s a child. This is one of my absolute favourite people on the planet. When the news came out, I was like, ‘We forgot to call Ed!”
