Singing star Taylor Swift is apparently working with flame-haired guitar player Ed Sheeran on her new album, according to reports from The Sun.
Sheeran has quickly become one of the UK's biggest star's following the release of his debut album '+', and is now working Swift's own new record at a studio in Los Angeles. While it's unknown whether the pair are working on a single track, a bunch of tracks or just the whole sound of the album itself, the move is a big career step for Sheeran.
“Ed and Taylor have been in the studio in LA a lot over the past few weeks working on new material,” a source told the tabloid paper. “She's into her British music and became a massive fan of Ed before asking to work with him recently. There is a mutual affection between the pair. It's still to be officially decided how the material will be released but just a single credit on her album will be worth big money. Taylor's country sound is massive around the world.”
It's not the first big-time album Sheeran's helped with – he also helped X-Factor boyband One Direction complete their incredible debut, which is now one of the biggest albums of the past year in both the UK and the US.
