Ed Sheeran gushes about Taylor Swift and Aaron Dessner 

Ed Sheeran admits to being in “love” with Taylor Swift’s work with producer Aaron Dessner and calls the pop star’s latest album The Tortured Poets Department and its unexpected second instalment, Anthology, “powerful”.

“It’s great! I’ll always love the work that she does with Aaron,” Sheeran, 33, told Extra‘s Melvin Roberts in a new interview clip shared on X, Friday, May 3. “It’s a very powerful album.”

The 48-year-old The National founding member, worked on 17 songs with Swift, 34, for her highly anticipated 11th studio album, including “So Long, London,” “Clara Bow,” “But Daddy I Love Him,” “loml,” “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus” and “How Did It End?”

Swift’s TTPD was announced by the singer in February, while she was accepting the award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights at the 66th annual Grammy Awards.

“We started working on these songs over two years ago and it feels like they have kept us company and evolved in beautiful and unexpected ways through so much life lived during this process,” Dessner wrote on Instagram after the album’s release before breaking down their history together.

“It’s hard to believe Taylor and I have now recorded over 60 songs together (17 across this anthology!!) in the 4 years since we began working together on Folklore in 2020,” he continued.

“I am forever grateful to Taylor for sharing her insane talents with and trusting me with her music. I believe these songs are some of the most lyrically acute, intricate, vulnerable and cathartic Taylor has ever written and I am continually astonished by her skills as a songwriter and performer.”
