Taylor Swift returned to Wembley last week Thursday for the fourth of her eight shows in London.
And fans were delighted when the megastar brought out surprise guest – a long term friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran.
The pair were greeted by screams and huge cheers from the 92,000-strong crowd in London.
During her surprise song set, which Swift changes each gig, the singer-songwriters’ performed their song Everything has Changed from the 2012 album Red, followed by End Game from 2018’s Reputation, Ed features as a singer and co-writer on both tracks.
The duo then sang an emotional acoustic rendition of Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud while bright green lights shone out from the stadium.
Since the two met in 2012, they became fast friends and have continued to uphold their connection over the last thirteen years, with the American born pop star paying tribute to their longevity by describing Ed as a ‘second brother’.
WHEN IT ALL STARTED
The two first hit it off in 2012 when Taylor wrote the lyrics ‘as you do’ from Ed’s blockbuster song, Lego House, on her arm during an Australian show.Â
Later on in the year the pair met organised by Taylor’s manager – leading to their first in person meet.
The meeting was a success and the singer’s then worked together to work on writing music together.
One song, Everything Has Changed, written by the duo, was featured on Taylor’s 2012 album, Red.
Before the song was released, Ed teased the collaboration by posting an adorable snap of the two together on his Instagram, during a meeting where they met to work on music together.
Later on in the year, they performed together at the Z100’s Jingle Ball in 2012, held at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden.
