Taylor Swift Recruited Ed Sheeran For "Red" Tour Via Text Message

Ed Sheeran has revealed in a new interview with MTV that Taylor Swift recruited him as the support act of her upcoming "Red" tour, which kicks off next month, via text message.

The British singer/songwriter said to MTV:

"There's no one really bigger in the world right now that I could tour with so to be able to get on that tour and to be invited on its not like some of these tours where people have to pay money or it's a favor. She just literally texted me saying, 'Do you want to come on tour?' and I was like, 'Yes.'"
