During the recent Grammy Awards, social media lip readers were hard at work analyzing a moment between Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. As Swift took the stage to accept one of her two awards, Sheeran, who was seated next to her, was captured on camera maintaining a serious expression and engaged in a conversation with someone by his side. This instantly fueled speculation among fans about the nature of their interaction.
In a video that has since circulated on social media, some fans have interpreted Sheeran's remarks as him calling Swift's accolade 'bulls—t.' The clip sparked curiosity, with users wondering what exactly he said after Swift's speech. However, it's important to note that these assumptions remain speculative and are based solely on lip-reading analysis.
Despite the speculation, other social media users quickly shut down the rumors of any negative feelings between Sheeran and Swift. They suggested alternative interpretations of what Sheeran might have said. One theory suggests that Sheeran may have commented, 'What did I say? She won over me.' Another possibility is that he simply suggested, 'Shall we go and have a beer.'
One intriguing fan theory proposes that Sheeran said, 'Brilliant, she did a recording with me.' Although Sheeran was not featured on Swift's album 'Midnights,' he has collaborated with her on several duets in the past. This theory adds fuel to the speculation that Swift may be planning to release a new version of her album 'Reputation,' as Sheeran is featured on her song 'End Game.'
Fans have been eagerly anticipating 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' as part of Swift's project to re-record her entire back catalogue. Some even anticipated an announcement during the Grammy Awards. However, contrary to expectations, Swift unveiled her new album, titled 'The Tortured Poets Department,' which is set to release in April.
Amidst the online discourse surrounding Sheeran's comments, it's worth noting that he and Swift were spotted together at an afterparty following the Grammys. A video circulated on social media showing Swift playfully rubbing Sheeran's hair and embracing him in a hug. This display of camaraderie further underlines their close friendship.
Sheeran and Swift have a longstanding relationship that dates back to 2012 when they first met and subsequently collaborated on the song 'Everything Has Changed.' Sheeran has spoken highly of Swift, emphasizing that she is one of the few people who truly understands him. He described their conversations as therapeutic, indicating that she genuinely comprehends his perspective.
In the end, while lip reading can spark intriguing speculations, it's essential to exercise caution before drawing definitive conclusions. Sheeran and Swift's friendship continues to thrive, evident in their supportive and affectionate interactions.
