'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker Taylor Swift has admitted that she absolutely loves British music and was inspired to get in touch with Ed Sheeran after seeing his video for 'Lego House'.

In a new interview with Digital Spy, Swift explained that she's always been a fan of the music released by UK acts and wanted to incorporate that influence into her new record, 'Red', so called on Sheeran to write with her:

"The first time I heard Ed's music was when I was in Australia and I saw his video for 'Lego House' with Rupert Grint in it. I fell in love with his music and I couldn't believe we hadn't had his album come out in the US yet. So I reached out to his management to see if he wanted to write, but at the same time he was reaching out my management as well."

"So it was very strange, but I let his management know that anywhere he was on tour I'd fly there and write with him. He came to LA and we ended up writing our duet 'Everything Has Changed'."

Referring specifically to her own musical tastes, the songstress added: "For me Ed is my absolute favourite, but I've always been obsessed with Florence + the Machine and that sound. But ever since Ed came out, he's been the only artist I've been listening to! His album is so good."

Swift's forthcoming new album, 'Red', is due to be released on October 22 and you can check out her duet with Sheeran on 'Everything Has Changed' here:
