Ah, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift - pop's true BFFs. They're ever so cute when they're photobombing each other or leaking one another's album plans.

What to Read Next

What they managed to keep private - at least until now - is that the 'Shape of You' singer has been putting the moves on members of Taylor Swift's A-list squad - which includes the likes of Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Martha Hunt (to name just a few).

In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Ed admitted that he did hook up with some of Taylor's famous friends while opening dates on her 'Red Tour' in 2013… but stopped short of naming any names.

"Taylor's world is celebrity," Sheeran told the magazine. "I was this 22-year-old awkward British kid going on tour with the biggest artist in America, who has all these famous mates.

"I was very easy… I would often find myself in situations just kind of waking up and looking over and being like, 'How the f**k did that happen?'"

However, he was quick to deny actually dating Tay-Tay: "I found that aspect quite lazy journalism. There wasn't any truth to it whatsoever."

While Ed wants to leave his Squad hook-ups strictly to our imaginations, he and Taylor were practically overflowing with love and support for one another in this new interview - going so far as to compare themselves to one of rock's classic duos.

"We've gotten matching Scottish folds, made each other arts and crafts Christmas presents, vacationed with our families, and had each other's backs," Taylor revealed. "He is the James Taylor to my Carole King and I can't imagine a time when he wouldn't be."

For his part, Ed describes the 'Blank Space' singer as the one constant in his life: "She would be there if everything ended for me. Taylor is kind of an anomaly in that sense."

The singer-songwriter even hinted that they could co-headline a tour one day, sharing the stage as they played each other's biggest hits. Just take our money now!

Nowadays, Ed is busy breaking Spotify records and reportedly gearing up to headline Glastonbury - but we're sure he'll make time for pop's cutest friendship along the way.
