Ed Sheeran and
Taylor Swift are two of the biggest names in pop music. The singers became
friends years ago because they have a ton in common, so much so that we actually think they might be the same person. Check out five ways Ed is Taylor and Taylor is Ed.

1. They are friends with all of Hollywood We know Taylor has friends in all areas of the industry (acting, singing, modeling). Just see
the A-list cast for her "Bad Blood" video.
But that's not all--Tay pretty much rules young Hollywood with
a girl gang made up of the coolest teens and twentysomethings in the biz.

For all the famous people Taylor isn't friends with, Ed makes up for it. He's drinking buddies with

incredibly sweet to her fans. She just helped this couple announce their pregnancy on her 1989 world tour!
