‘He Was Very Put Out… She’s Got Form’: Taylor Swift’s Shock ‘Fallout’ with ‘Second Brother’ Ed Sheeran as Insiders Reveal How US Star’s Sneaky Move Left Him Furious and Relations ‘Strained’
Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran’s close friendship has long been celebrated as one of the music industry’s most cherished bonds — often likened to siblings. But behind the scenes, insiders reveal a shocking rift between the US superstar and her “second brother” Ed, with sources telling Grant Tucker that a sneaky move by Taylor has left Ed deeply upset and their relationship strained.
For years, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been inseparable, collaborating on hit songs and sharing stages around the world. Fans have admired their brother-sister chemistry, with Ed even often referring to Taylor as family. But according to close sources, recent developments have cast a shadow over their friendship.
“He was very put out by what happened,” a source told Grant Tucker. “Taylor’s got form when it comes to these kinds of moves, and Ed didn’t see it coming.”
The “sneaky move” reportedly involved Taylor making a decision that caught Ed off guard — one that insiders say was done without consulting him, leading to feelings of betrayal. While details remain tightly under wraps, the fallout has left the usually warm and jovial Ed Sheeran feeling furious and distancing himself from the star he once called “like a brother.”
Friends close to Ed say that the usually laid-back singer-songwriter is struggling to come to terms with the breach of trust. “Ed’s not one to hold grudges, but this one cut deep,” another insider shared. “It’s strained their relationship in a way that might take a long time to repair.”
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s camp has remained largely silent, but industry insiders suggest that the singer’s decision was driven by business strategy rather than personal malice. “Taylor’s always been a shrewd operator,” a source noted. “Sometimes that means making tough calls that don’t please everyone — even close friends.”
The tension between the two has reportedly affected joint projects and future collaborations, with some in their circle worrying that the fallout might mark the end of one of music’s most iconic partnerships.
Fans of both artists have expressed shock and concern over the reports, flooding social media with messages of support and speculation about the future of the duo’s friendship.
Despite the rift, insiders emphasize that Ed and Taylor’s shared history is too significant to simply erase. “They’ve been through so much together,” one source said. “There’s hope for healing, but it won’t be easy.”
As this story unfolds, many await further comments from Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, hoping for reconciliation between two of the biggest names in music.
