Any Swiftie would know that\u00a0Taylor Swift\u00a0and\u00a0Ed Sheeran\u00a0are not just incredibly close friends, they are also longtime collaborators who have delivered us more than a few bops over the years.<\/h2>\n

There is \u201cEverything Has Changed\u201d from Taylor\u2019s 2012 album,\u00a0Red<\/i>, their \u201cThe Joker and the Queen\u201d collab that was released in 2022, and, of course, \u201cEnd Game,\u201d which also features the rapper Future and was released on Taylor\u2019s 2017 album,\u00a0Reputation<\/i>, to name a few.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEnd Game\u201d is perhaps one of Taylor\u2019s most surprising songs stylistically, as it incorporates elements of pop rap and R&B, with the lyrics about falling in love with somebody despite one another\u2019s perceived reputations.<\/h2>\n

In Ed\u2019s verse, he sings: \u201cI’ve made mistakes, and made some choices that’s hard to deny \/ After the storm, something was born on the Fourth of July \/ I\u2019ve passed days without fun, this endgame is the one \/ With four words on the tip of my tongue I’ll never say.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

And last week, a TikToker made a\u00a0video\u00a0to Ed\u2019s lyrics as they questioned what the \u201cfour words\u201d mentioned were.<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhat are the four words on the tip of Ed Sheeran\u2019s tongue that he will never say,\u201d the social media user captioned the video.<\/p>\n

And lo and behold, Ed himself popped up in the comments to set the record straight once and for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps unsurprisingly to many, Ed confirmed that the \u201cfour words\u201d were \u201cwill you marry me,\u201d but he also clarified that the second half of that lyric is actually supposed to lead into Taylor\u2019s part that comes immediately after, where she sings: \u201cI don’t wanna touch you.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe \u2018il never say\u2019 leads in to the next bit. As in – il never say \u2018I don\u2019t wanna touch you’,\u201d Ed\u2019s comment begins. \u201cAnd the four words are \u2018will you marry me\u2019 which obvz happened with chez shortly after this song came out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In case you didn\u2019t know, Chez is Ed\u2019s now-wife Cherry Seaborn, who he proposed to in December 2017. The two actually first met as schoolkids and were childhood friends before drifting apart in adulthood.<\/span><\/h2>\n

They ended up reuniting in 2015, when Ed was on tour and Cherry was working in Manhattan. However, they didn\u2019t officially start dating until Ed took Cherry to one of Taylor\u2019s infamous Fourth of July parties at her Rhode Island home later that same year.<\/span><\/h2>\n

“I was texting [Cherry], and she was like: \u2018I\u2019m in Rhode Island at a 4th of July party,\u2019 and I was like\u201d \u2018So am I,\u2019” Ed previously told\u00a0People, “I kinda said to Taylor: \u2018Can I invite one of my old schoolmates?\u2019 The rest is history.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And suddenly, Ed\u2019s \u201cEnd Game\u201d lyric: \u201cSomething was born on the Fourth of July\u201d all makes sense, with his and Cherry\u2019s romance also referenced earlier in the verse, where Ed sings: \u201cKnew her when I was young \/ Reconnected when we were a little bit older.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Taylor later\u00a0surprised\u00a0Ed and Cherry by marking their first anniversary at her 2016 Fourth of July party, and the happy couple ended up getting married in 2019 before welcoming two daughters together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
