Taylor Swift shares story of the first time she heard 'Thinking Out Loud' in birthday post for Ed Sheeran

It's been a busy week for Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.

The former tourmates took home quite a few Grammys between the two of them at the  ceremony on Feb. 15 - including Song of the Year for Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Album of the Year for Swift's 1989 - but the celebrations certainly aren't over yet for Sheeran. He turned 25 on Feb. 17.

Swift took to Instagram to wish Sheeran a happy birthday, as well as to congratulate him on his first Grammys win and share the sweet story of her first encounter with his award-winning hit song.

Looking back on the highlights of my life, there's a moment I'll never forget from a day in London about two years ago. I was in town to play the O2 and I was out shopping on my day off. My friend Ed Sheeran met up with me in this little shop where I was buying ballet shoes. He walks in and says "you have to hear this new song. I think it's the best one I've ever written." And then, as usual, he pulls out his phone and gives me headphones. I sat there on a bench in that store and heard 'Thinking Out Loud' for the first time, as little kids were picking out tutus and leotards next to us. Little did we know it would go on to be first dance song at countless weddings all over the world, become Ed's biggest hit, and eventually go on to win him Song of the Year at the 2016 Grammys. Ed and I had been on tour together all year on the Red Tour and we saw each other almost every day. I lived for the moments he would burst into my dressing room with a new song to play me. It happened so often that it became normal, and I don't think he ever knew how much it meant to me that he wanted me to hear his songs first. I don't think he ever knew how inspired I was by his drive and passion to constantly create new art. But it's his 25th birthday today, so I'm saying it now. You deserve everything you have, and everything you will continue to achieve, Ed. And an extra congratulations to the incredible Amy Wadge on your two Grammys.

This isn't the first time that Swift has taken to social media to celebrate the singer-songwriter's birthday. As we previously reported, two years ago Swift shared a photo of Sheeran looking dapper in a restaurant, captioned, "HAPPYBIRTHDAY @edsheeran! Now let's take a moment to reflect back on the best outfit you've ever worn."
