Ed Sheeran has just set the internet ablaze after revealing how he first found out about Taylor Swift’s engagement — and let’s just say, his reaction has fans in absolute meltdown mode. During a recent interview, the singer-songwriter, who has long been part of Swift’s close circle, let slip the exact moment he learned the big news. According to Ed, it wasn’t through a formal call, a secret sit-down, or even Taylor herself directly — instead, it caught him completely off guard.
“She just kind of dropped it in like it was nothing,” he admitted, raising his eyebrows as if still processing it. “I thought we were just catching up, and then suddenly, she’s like, ‘Oh, by the way…’ and I just sat there going, ‘Wait, what?!’” His expression during the retelling — wide-eyed, shocked, and grinning all at once — immediately went viral. Fans are convinced they’ve never seen him look so hilariously unprepared.
The big question now? Did Ed actually know before the rest of the world? The way he hesitated before answering has sparked endless theories online. Some Swifties believe Taylor confided in him long before any official word leaked, while others think Ed found out only moments before the rest of us did — which would explain the genuine surprise still etched across his face.
No matter the timeline, fans can’t get enough of his candid storytelling. “Ed is literally all of us hearing this news,” one person tweeted, while another added, “The look on his face deserves its own meme format.” With Taylor’s engagement already dominating headlines, Ed Sheeran’s unfiltered reaction has become the cherry on top — proof that even her closest friends aren’t immune to being caught completely off guard by Swift’s life-changing announcements.
