The "Azizam" singer said that he sees Swift four times a year.

"Instead of catching up the whole time, we have proper sit down, six-hour catchups. And I think that's a really nice way to do it," he said.

Sheeran and Swift have been friends since 2012 when they released their first song, "Everything Has Changed," which appeared on Swift's 2012 album, "Red."

They also appeared together in the music video for the song together.

As Sheeran mentioned, he performed on Swift's "Red Tour" and was an opening act.

In 2017, the duo released another song together titled "End Game," which was on Swift's 2017 album, "Reputation."

Five years later, Sheeran released the song, "The Joker And The Queen," featuring Swift.

Last year, Sheeran made an appearance on Swift's European leg of her "Eras Tour." The duo took the stage at Wembley Stadium in London and performed a mash-up of "Everything Has Changed" and "End Game."
