Taylor Swift has revealed her unbridled joy at having Ed Sheeran as a tour support.

The British singer-songwriter is due to head out across North America next year as Swift promotes her chart-topping album 'Red' with a headline tour in March through to September.

The 'Lego House' man will warm up for the country-pop star and she told Capital FM that it is an honour to have him play with her. She said:

"Ed's just the best you know. He's such a good friend, he's such a good guy, he's such a good writer.

Swift continued: "His voice is unreal. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have him on tour – it's amazing."

Sheeran, who collaborated with the US singer on the album track 'Everything Has Changed, recently got a tattoo on his left arm to commemorate Swift's 'Red' album. Listen to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran's duet below:
