Now, they will be collaborating again for “The Joker and the Queen.” Sheeran confirmed the news on social media, writing: “The Joker And The Queen featuring my good friend @taylorswift13 is out this Friday. Link in bio to pre-order or pre-save it x”
It doesn’t really come as a surprise, because he’s been hinting the collaboration with an “American artist” for a while. And it couldn’t have been anyone else. The original ballad does not include a collaboration on the album.
