WowKeren - Rabu (17/2), Ed Sheeran merayakan ulang tahunnya yang ke-26. Penyanyi asal Inggris itu mendapatkan ucapan selamat dari penggemar.

Tidak hanya itu, sahabatnya Taylor Swift juga tidak ketinggalan mengucapkan selamat. Penyanyi berusia 26 tahun itu bahkan menuliskan sebuah pesan mengharukan untuk Ed Sheeran.

Melalui Instagramnya Taylor mengunggah foto sahabatnya itu dilengkapi caption yang panjang. Kekasih Calvin Harris itu mengungkap ia adalah orang pertama yang selalu mendengarkan karya-karya Ed Sheeran. Taylor bahkan menyebut Ed sebagai sosok yang menginspirasinya.

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.

"Kurasa ia tak pernah tahu bagaimana ia menginspirasiku dengan kesungguhannya untuk terus menciptakan karya seni yang baru," tulis Taylor. "Hari ini adalah ulang tahunnya yang ke-25, jadi aku katakan semuanya sekarang. Kau berhak mendapatkan apapun yang kau miliki dan apapun yang nantinya akan kau raih, Ed."
