Name a more iconic duo than Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran! The two besties dropped an absolute banger when they performed their early collab hit “Everything Has Changed” on Taylor’s Red Tour, and we miss this era! More recently, the live duet has emerged in remastered HD. There’s nothing better than hearing two of the biggest talents in pop singing with just two voices, two acoustic guitars, no frills. Just the way we like it!
Tay Tay and Ed are just unstoppable as a duo. It’s really the perfect combo, with Taylor as the magnetic frontwoman and Ed driving the song with his rhythm guitar groove. Taylor’s mezzo-soprano cuts through on those big melodies while Ed’s comfy, warm tenor fills out the sound. The Music Man has to say every time this dynamic duo hits the stage together, it’s always a killer performance!
YouTuber EAS Music Channel uploaded the HD version of Taylor and Ed’s Red Tour duet on “Everything Has Changed,” which was a real boon for fans, as there are not a lot of high-quality live cuts of Tay Tay from this era. Fans found a lot to like and added comments such as “Two best friends having fun doing what they do best… make special memories for thousands of devoted fans” and “I love the friendship between Ed and Taylor Swift. This relationship just made me so happy, so sweet.”
The good news for fans is that despite their busy schedules, Tay Tay and Ed have found the time to drop a number of collabs over the years. One of the most memorable came when they sang “Everything Has Changed” on the final of season seven of Britain’s Got Talent. This version really dialed in on a super creamy and tight vocal duo from the pair, compared to the more cheeky and chaotic vibe of the Red arena tour duet.
Taylor and Ed co-wrote “Everything Has Changed,” and Ed featured on Taylor’s studio cut of the song. Tay Tay released the duet as the sixth single from her fourth studio album, Red. The Music Man readers might be interested to hear about the quirky origin of “Everything Has Changed,” as Taylor said she wrote it with Ed on a trampoline in her backyard. The song became one of several hits from the Red album. It went double Platinum in the US and Platinum across the pond in the UK.
