High-profile artists sell arena tickets in an instant. This is a fact that has been proven time and time over as more popular artists rise through the ranks and become superstars of their own accord, and few have achieved fame, and popularity as quickly as Taylor Swift. The American singer-songwriter sells out arenas in a matter of hours, and her Red tour was no different.
Despite Taylor Swift being a worldwide sensation who is adored by all of her fans, and capable of selling out arena tours entirely on her own, she is incredibly humble on stage with Ed Sheeran. During their performance, she slowly lowers the volume of her voice for Ed Sheeran’s delicate British vocals to shine through, which is a nod towards the incredible friendship that these two performers have with each other.
Despite their relationship being purely platonic, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have been the subject of much speculation as to whether or not there is something more in the air. Rumors began circulating in 2013 that the two were an item, however, Ed Sheeran has repeatedly denied the claims and reinforces that the two are simply very good friends.
Not only are the pair good friends, but they also look to each other for support as they traverse the problems of stardom, and also explore their musical talents. Ed Sheeran told Zane Lowe that talking to Swift feels like therapy, and takes comfort in knowing that she understands how he feels about certain things. With all the success both of them have in the world, the fact that they also have good friends is a blessing in their hectic, spontaneous entertainment lives.
