Selepas album 1989 merangkul anugerah Album of The Year dalam anugerah Grammy Selasa lalu, Taylor Swift terus diraikan di media sosial.

Kali ini, ucapan hari lahir kepada teman karibnya Ed Sheeran yang dikongsi di Instagram meraih tumpuan netizen.

Peminat Swift rata-rata memuji ucapan tersebut sebagai memberi inspirasi dan menjadi contoh hubungan persahabatan yang sejati.

Looking back on the highlights of my life, there's a moment I'll never forget from a day in London about two years ago. I was in town to play the O2 and I was out shopping on my day off. My friend Ed Sheeran met up with me in this little shop where I was buying ballet shoes. He walks in and says "you have to hear this new song. I think it's the best one I've ever written." And then, as usual, he pulls out his phone and gives me headphones. I sat there on a bench in that store and heard 'Thinking Out Loud' for the first time, as little kids were picking out tutus and leotards next to us. Little did we know it would go on to be first dance song at countless weddings all over the world, become Ed's biggest hit, and eventually go on to win him Song of the Year at the 2016 Grammys. Ed and I had been on tour together all year on the Red Tour and we saw each other almost every day. I lived for the moments he would burst into my dressing room with a new song to play me. It happened so often that it became normal, and I don't think he ever knew how much it meant to me that he wanted me to hear his songs first. I don't think he ever knew how inspired I was by his drive and passion to constantly create new art. But it's his 25th birthday today, so I'm saying it now. You deserve everything you have, and everything you will continue to achieve, Ed. And an extra congratulations to the incredible Amy Wadge on your two Grammys.

Dalam ucapan tersebut, Swift mengenang pertemuannya dan Sheeran di London dua tahun lalu. Mereka bertemu di sebuah kedai pakaian balet dan Sheeran ketika itu berkongsi lagu yang baru digubah dan masih belum diperdengarkan kepada sesiapa.

“Ketika itu kami tidak tahu lagu itu bakal dimainkan dalam majlis perkahwinan di seluruh dunia, menjadi lagu Ed paling popular, dan kemudian memenangi Song of the Year dalam Grammys 2016,” tambah Swift.

Swift turut mendedahkan Sheeran sentiasa berkongsi lagu yang baru digubah:

“Dia (Sheeran) tidak tahu betapa berertinya buat saya apabila dia mahu saya mendengar lagunya terlebih dahulu. Dia tidak tahu saya mendapat inspirasi dari semangat dan keghairahannya sentiasa mencipta seni baharu. Tapi ini hari lahirnya yang ke-25, jadi saya beritahu sekarang. Kamu layak menerima segalanya, dan apa yang bakal kamu terima, Ed.”
