Ed Sheeran has set the record straight on a misconception about Taylor Swift's famous squad. In an interview with Billboard's November issue, Ed is asked if he gets invited to hang out with Taylor's inner circle. "Of course," he replies, before joking, "It's not a vaginas-only club."
When asked about being a rival to Taylor for global music domination, Ed says, "It's quite a weird thing for the No. 1 and No. 2 biggest-selling artists in the world to be close friends. I don't think that happens a lot."
During the interview, Ed is also asked if he's currently dating anyone. "I just never want to be public," he replies, "It always, always backfires. I really wish I could disappear at moments that I'm with a significant other. It's none of anyone's f***ing business."
The 24-year-old singer then gushes over his upcoming third studio album, "So this is my little baby. Normally I don't care much about what people think of my music. If you love it, awesome; if you don't, go and listen to something else. But this time is different. This project is a lot more dear to me. I'm nervous about how it's going to be received."
While focusing on his new album, Ed admits that he's running a couple years late when it comes to streaming music. "I don't stream anything ever. I don't even really get it. I buy everything off iTunes or physically," he shares, "I've never listened to a Radiohead album, to be honest. I didn't hear a Bruce Springsteen song until like two years ago, and now I f***ing love Springsteen. I didn't hear Michael Jackson songs till I was 14."
"I like discovering things on my own. I want to have that moment of 'holy s**t,' the moment of the epiphany," he adds.
