There have been many rumours as to the nature of their relationship but Ed Sheeran denies that he and Taylor Swift are dating insisting that they are “just good friends”.

Swift has been linked to several big names recently including a stint dating One Direction star Harry Styles and newcomer on the scene Tom Odell but Sheeran has insisted that the relationship they have is strictly platonic.

A source close to the stars told the Daily Mail: "Taylor has always loved Ed to bits. He’s just an adorably sweet guy who makes her laugh and feel really confident."

"Harry had that irresistible bad boy thing but Taylor has realised she would rather give it a go with a guy who can make her happy on a different level."

The pair first became close after they worked together on the song “Everything Has Changed” from her latest album Red and Sheeran has commented to say how much he enjoyed working with Swift professionally.

He spoke out to say: "Taylor Swift is one of these people who is the biggest selling female artist in the world right now. Her last record sold just as much as Adele's I think, which is pretty mental to think.

"I expected her to be one of these artists who is allowed to have a douche bag pass but she was the loveliest person I've met."
