Amidst this frenzy, a familiar voice has weighed in on the captivating love story: none other than Taylor's long-standing friend and frequent collaborator, Ed Sheeran.

Sheeran elaborated on the timeline of their relationship, noting how they both experienced significant career milestones and personal growth side-by-side.

"We've kind of gone through life together, pretty much," he reflected. "It's been a long time, and I've watched her just grow and grow and grow. We were, like, same age, same stage, and both playing in the round, and both playing to the same amount of people, and then just watch her just go and go and go." His pride in her achievements and happiness is palpable.

While the engagement rumors might be premature, Sheeran's comments serve as a delightful confirmation of the positive energy surrounding Taylor and Travis.

His stamp of approval, coming from such a trusted and close friend, only adds to the public's affection for the budding romance. It's clear that for Ed, Taylor's happiness is paramount, and he's thrilled to see her thriving both personally and professionally.
