Ed Sheeran's pal: "Taylor Swift romance rumours are nonsense"

Ed Sheeran's friend and tattoo artist has rubbished romance rumours between the singer and Taylor Swift, claiming the speculation is "nonsense".

The pair were linked last year when they teamed up to work on Swift's critically-acclaimed album 'Red.'

Swift was then spotted getting close to One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles - although neither party ever confirmed the relationship.

The romance between Styles and Swift has seemingly fizzled out, with speculation mounting again that she and Sheeran are an item.

Sheeran and Styles' friend and tattooist Kevin Paul has rubbished such rumours, telling Celebuzz: "It's all nonsense. To be honest, they thought Ed and Taylor were together before she was with Harry, because I tattooed 'RED' on Ed during his last tour in the U.K. for Taylor’s album.

He added: “It’s part of his life. It’s not for her. It’s because he is on the album, but the press really saw it as [being] for her.”

Despite insisting that Sheeran and Swift are not romantically involved, Paul revealed that they are “really close and really good friends”.

He added they have a “brother/sister relationship.”
