Sheeran joined Swift during the acoustic section of her Eras Tour show for versions of their collaborations Everything Has Changed and End Game followed by a duet version of Sheeran’s huge hit Thinking Out Loud.
“This is one of my best friends in the world,” Swift told the crowd at the end of their mini-set.
“He works so hard, he’s on tour right now and he’s probably so tired but he wanted to come and play for you,” she added.
It was a busy day for Sheeran, who also announced that he has acquired a minority stake in his hometown football team Ipswich Town FC.
“I am really excited to have bought a small percentage of my home town football club,” Sheeran told Ipswich’s website.
“It’s any football fan’s dream to be an owner of the club they support, and I feel so grateful for this opportunity.
“I have lived in Suffolk since I was three years old and, while I travel the world and sometimes feel like an outsider in big cities, Suffolk and Ipswich have always made me feel part of the community and protected.
“This is just me putting some money into the club I love and them returning the gesture, so please don’t get on to me with signing suggestions or tactics to play!”
Mark Ashton, the club chairman, said: “For one of the biggest artists in the world to give us so much of his time and give the club such incredible exposure around the world, while asking for very little in return, highlights just what makes this relationship such a special one.”
