UPDATE: Ed Sheeran Breaks His Silence on What ‘End Game’ Really Meant with Taylor Swift

Any Swiftie would know that Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran are not just incredibly close friends, they are also longtime collaborators who have delivered us more than a few bops over the years.

“End Game” is perhaps one of Taylor’s most surprising songs stylistically, as it incorporates elements of pop rap and R&B, with the lyrics about falling in love with somebody despite one another’s perceived reputations.

In Ed’s verse, he sings: “I’ve made mistakes, and made some choices that’s hard to deny / After the storm, something was born on the Fourth of July / I’ve passed days without fun, this endgame is the one / With four words on the tip of my tongue I’ll never say.”

And last week, a TikToker made a video to Ed’s lyrics as they questioned what the “four words” mentioned were.

Perhaps unsurprisingly to many, Ed confirmed that the “four words” were “will you marry me,” but he also clarified that the second half of that lyric is actually supposed to lead into Taylor’s part that comes immediately after, where she sings: “I don’t wanna touch you.”

In case you didn’t know, Chez is Ed’s now-wife Cherry Seaborn, who he proposed to in December 2017. The two actually first met as schoolkids and were childhood friends before drifting apart in adulthood.

They ended up reuniting in 2015, when Ed was on tour and Cherry was working in Manhattan. However, they didn’t officially start dating until Ed took Cherry to one of Taylor’s infamous Fourth of July parties at her Rhode Island home later that same year.
