British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has already admitted that his new album won't be out until 2014, but he has now revealed that he plans to write it while he's touring with country-pop singer Taylor Swift.

Speaking to Billboard about potential new material, the 'Lego House' star explained that he will be working on it during his stint on the road in support of Swift, which begins on March 13 in Omaha, Nebraska:

"I've got around 26 songs for the next record, and I've got another nine months on the road to keep writing as well, so the record's definitely on his way. I can tell you it will probably come out in February 2014, and I'm gonna be recording and writing it over the whole Taylor tour."

He also revealed that he's a huge fan of Taylor, and in particular admires her work ethic and songwriting, adding that he's excited at the prospect of opening up for her every night at arenas and huge venues:

"I don't know what's going to happen. I've never really played to crowds that big before, so I'm hoping it goes down well. The longest I've played in a stadium was six songs at Wembley Stadium for some big radio event. That was mental. So doing that with Taylor night after night is definitely going to be an experience."
