Taylor Swift nearly caused a friend meltdown—but thankfully, Ed Sheeran gets it. The “Life of a Showgirl” superstar revealed on Jimmy Fallon that she completely forgot to tell her longtime pal Ed about her engagement to Travis Kelce. Why? Because, shocker… Ed doesn’t have a phone. “You have to email him. If you want to FaceTime, he has to find an iPad. They give it to him like he’s a kid,” Taylor laughed.
The 35-year-old added, “This is one of my absolute favorite people on the planet. When the news came out, I was like, ‘Oh no, we forgot to call Ed!’” Thankfully, there was no bad blood. Ed cheekily chimed in on TikTok: “Hello from my allotted iPad time, this is factual.”
Turns out, Ed’s phone-free lifestyle isn’t new. Since 2015, he’s relied on an iPad and email to manage contacts and social media, keeping his phone just for “video stuff” that goes online. He keeps his schedule tight, answering emails just once a week during a dedicated iPad session.
So next time you forget to call a friend, just remember: it could be worse—you could be Taylor Swift forgetting to tell Ed Sheeran you’re engaged.
