Taylor Swift threw some epic shade at Kanye West in a private note to her longtime friend Ed Sheeran, and fans are loving it!
In 2013, Swift gifted Sheeran a jar of homemade jam, and attached a cheeky note that read, “Yo Ed , I’m really happy 4 you and I’m gonna let you finish but this is the best jam of all-time. , T.” Of course, this playful jab was a reference to Kanye West’s infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards moment when he interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech, telling her, “I’mma let you finish, but…”
That moment sparked a years-long feud between Swift and West, with both artists taking digs at each other through their music. Swift’s 2010 track “Innocent” was widely seen as her response to the incident, while West’s 2016 hit “Famous” included a direct mention of the “Anti-Hero” singer.
This throwback note to Ed Sheeran resurfaced recently after Sheeran posted a photo of it again on April 2, alongside his new Instagram account, where he’s sharing moments from an old phone he’d discarded in 2015. The jam, according to Sheeran, was “pretty good,” and fans quickly noticed the shade in Swift’s message.
In fact, fans couldn’t stop gushing over the hilarious moment. One fan wrote, “SHE THREW THE BEST SHADE,” while another said, “Icons only here.” Another commenter added, “Taylor is sooo funny for this!!” The playful exchange also reminded fans of the close friendship between Swift and Sheeran, who have collaborated on several hit songs, including “End Game,” “Run,” “Everything Has Changed,” and “The Joker and the Queen.”
The friendship between Swift and Sheeran has long been a highlight in both their careers, and this playful throwback serves as a fun reminder of their strong bond. Sheeran reflected on their relationship when sharing another throwback selfie with Swift, noting how old photos of people he’s lost touch with inspired his upcoming song “Old Phone.” He wrote about how the experience of rediscovering those memories led him to write and record the track while jet-lagged in India.
