Ed Sheeran reveals he bedded one of Taylor Swift’s mates during his time in the US with the singer’s sexy girl squad
The singer-songwriter admitted he'd wake up and wonder how he managed it
ED Sheeran has hinted he's slept with someone in Taylor Swift's girl squad.
The record-setting musician has been friends with Swift for years after he supported her on her 2013 Red world tour and apparently it was quite an experience for him.
"I was this 22-year-old awkward British kid going on tour with the biggest artist in America, who has all these famous mates," he told Rolling Stone.
"It was very easy. I would often find myself in situations just kind of waking up and looking over and being like, 'How the f*** did that happen?'"
Sheeran, 26, told the magazine: "She would be there if everything ended for me. Taylor is kind of an anomaly in that sense."
Of the backlash Swift has received in recent months - including around her now-defunct high-profile romance with actor Tom Hiddleston and a public feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West over the rapper's song Famous - Sheeran said she will always have to face the public's scrutiny but that he will be there for her.
He said: "She's omnipresent because she's the most famous woman in the world, so she can't make the decision to not be in the press.

"I always stick up for Taylor."
Sheeran, who appears on the front cover of the US magazine, said that Swift's "world is celebrity" and that being a part of it in his early 20s was something he did not expect.
Swift, 27, said of Sheeran: "We've gotten matching Scottish fold (cats), made each other arts and crafts Christmas presents, vacationed with our families, and had each other's backs.
"He is the James Taylor to my Carole King and I can't imagine a time when he wouldn't be."
The British singer-songwriter is on course to score a number one with his newly released album this week
