Ed Sheeran recently thanked Taylor Swift for all she has helped him accomplish over the years. Sheeran took to Instagram to write a detailed message crediting Swift for her support on his upcoming album, Subtract.
Sheeran thanked Swift for introducing him to Aaron Dessner who has previously made music with Swift for her albums Folklore and Evermore. Sheeran wrote, “So in 2021, I got a message from @taylorswift to link me up with @aarondessner, She thought he and I would make something great together. I have to be honest I was a bit reluctant to work with him that soon after folklore and evermore because I felt that was Taylor’s thing and they had both been done so perfectly.”
Sheeran’s post continues to read, “But we met for dinner, chatted about life and music, and he promised to send me some instrumentals for me to write over whenever inspiration hit. As soon as I got them, I loved the whole overall vibe of it and knew that one day I would write to them, but at the time I was finishing up what I thought was Subtract, so would put them on the back burner for a bit, I just felt the need to vent about on song and write diaristically about them.”
His post concluded in saying, “Thanks to Aaron and Jon for the insane amount of hard work and dedication you put into this project,”
Ed Sheeran is set to release “Subtract” on May 5th.
