“Can’t imagine u cheated on Ed with Niall however slay fr,” the fan mentioned. Goulding quickly shut down the claims, writing, “False!!!! But also slay.”

Following the development, Goulding denied that the twosome had been the rest more than excellent buddies. “I love that holding palms with my friends method we’re an merchandise,” she tweeted shortly after rumors of a romance started. “In that case I am in lots of relationships. Lover now not a hater. #whatthef*ck.”
One month later, on the other hand, Sheeran claimed that the pair were briefly an item.
“I imply, commonplace other folks don’t dangle fingers if they’re just friends,” the “Run” singer mentioned during an interview with Washington radio station Click 98.9. “It was going on. And now it’s not.”
Goulding and Horan, meanwhile, fueled dating rumors that August when The Mirror reported that they were seen packing on the PDA at the V Festival in England.
One 12 months later, Sheeran launched the only “Don’t,” by which he sings about being cheated on via a fellow singer — leading many enthusiasts to take a position the track referred to himself, Goulding and Horan.

And I wasn’t searching for a promise or commitment / But it was once never just fun, and I assumed you had been different.”

Goulding added that whilst she is keen to speak about her courting history, she finds it traumatic that her relationships are frequently centered on.

“I to find it so irritating that feminine musicians are constantly defined by means of the lads they've or haven’t dated. It’s one thing I’ve mentioned with Taylor so much,” she said, relating to Taylor Swift, who could also be friends with Sheeran. “She for sure feels that. She will get by way of it. It’s like, you'll be able to be a perfect artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone goes to speak about is some relationship they suspect you have got had or now not had. It’s surely something we both suppose happens to female artists over male artists.”
