Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u00a0might have upset her bestie\u00a0Ed Sheeran<\/strong>\u00a0by releasing her new album too close to Sheeran\u2019s \u201cPlay.\u201d Swift released \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d on October 3, just weeks after Sheeran\u2019s album, and insiders claim that the \u201cPhotograph\u201d hitmaker did not know about it. Hence, the timing hurt his rollout as Swift\u2019s album quickly took the top spot.<\/p>\n Taylor Swift\u00a0starred on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast in August, announcing her new album, but she reportedly ended up hurting her bestie Ed Sheeran in the process. The\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0exclusively reported that this, in turn, affected their once easy bond.<\/p>\n A music industry insider told the tabloid, \u201cEd takes these things really seriously, and carefully plans his album releases,\u201d adding that he \u201cannounced his album with four months\u2019 notice, but then Taylor announced hers for just two weeks after.\u201d The insider continued: \u201cIt is not the first time that Taylor has done something like this. She\u2019s got form.\u201d<\/p>\n Upon its release, Sheeran\u2019s \u201cPlay\u201d debuted at no. 1. Soon, it slipped out of the top ten, while Swift\u2019s record led the charts, which, the Daily Mail noted, was not a first. She released multiple variants of \u201cThe Tortured Poets Department\u201d in the U.K., the same week that\u00a0Charli XCX<\/a>\u00a0put out \u201cBrat.\u201d Moreover, flurry versions of her album helped keep her ahead of Billie Eilish in the U.S.<\/p>\n Taylor Swift and her bestie Ed Sheeran have been close for more than a decade, collaborating on various songs. Notably, the two have often called each other family. They first teamed up on \u201cEverything Has Changed\u201d for Swift\u2019s \u201cRed\u201d album, later collaborating on various tracks, including \u201cRun (Taylor\u2019s Version),\u201d \u201cThe Joker And the Queen,\u201d and more famously, \u201cEnd Game.\u201d<\/p>\n A source also mentioned that the pair last met at Selena Gomez\u2019s wedding on September 27. Though both gave speeches, the topic of Swift\u2019s album\u2019s release date had not come up.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Ishika Mishra on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Taylor Swift & Bestie Are Now Sour After Her Career Move \u2014Source<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Swift\u00a0might have upset her bestie\u00a0Ed Sheeran\u00a0by releasing her new album too close to Sheeran\u2019s \u201cPlay.\u201d Swift released \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d on October 3, just weeks after Sheeran\u2019s album, and insiders claim that the \u201cPhotograph\u201d hitmaker did not know about it.
