Ed Sheeranhasn’t yet gotten the call fromTaylor Swiftto record a new take on “End Game,” the song they recorded together for Swift’s 2017 albumReputation.
During a stop onAndy Cohen’sDeep & Shallow Podcaston Sirius XM Monday, the host asked Sheeran, 32, if he and Swift, 33, recorded a new version of “End Game” yet. “No, I haven’t. No. No,” the “Eyes Closed” singer told Cohen. “But1989 (Taylor’s Version)is the next one coming out. That’s the next one.”
The topic came up after Cohen, 55, asked Sheeran if he was checking outSwift’s Eras TourandBeyonce’s Renaissance Tour, which are coincidentally going on at the same time asSheeran’s Subtract Tour.
“I think what’s nice about everyone’s show is everyone’s show is so individual to them,” Sheeran explained. “And everyone’s got a different show — we’re all playing. I would love to go and see Taylor’s show, but we’re all playing on the same dates every single weekend. I think there’s a chance next year when she’s in the U.K.”
Swift’s Eras Tour reaches Sheeran’s native U.K. inJune 2024, with stops planned for Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

“So in 2021, I got a message from @taylorswift to link me up with @aarondessner. She thought he and I would make something great together,“Sheeran wrote in an Instagram caption. “I have to be honest I was a bit reticent to work with him that soon afterfolkloreandevermorebecause I felt that was Taylor’s thing and they had both been done so perfectly. But we met for dinner, chatted about life and music, and he promised to send me some instrumentals for me to write over whenever inspiration hit.”

Swift and Sheeran’s friendshipgoes beyond music. In May,Sheeran told Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1that he feels Swift is “one of the only people that actually truly understands where I’m at.”
“I had an hour-20 conversation with her yesterday and we were just — everything that was on our minds we talked about,” Sheeran told Lowe. “I mean that in itself is kind of therapy as well because you’re actually talking to someone that genuinely gets it.”
“That has all the things that you feel and have insecurities about and how other people treat you or how your family treats you, how your friends treat you,” Sheeran added. “She’s basically in the same sphere.”
