"Oh don’t end K*nye like that" — Fans react to Ed Sheeran sharing throwback image of Taylor Swift's note to him with a Kanye reference
Ed Sheeran shared a throwback image of a note Taylor Swift wrote to him around 2015. Ahead of his next single release, the singer revealed that he found his old phone from a decade ago and powered it on, uncovering old photos and memories.
On a newly public Instagram account called @teddysoldphone, Ed Sheeran posted a series of old images, including several featuring Taylor Swift. In a post dated April 2, he shared a picture of a note Swift seemingly wrote to him on a bottle of jam. The note had a hilarious reference to her feud with Kanye West, reading:
"Yo Ed - I’m really happy 4 you and I’m gonna let u finish but this is the best jam of all time."
For the uninformed, the message references the moment Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs. As Swift took the stage to accept the award for Best Music Video for You Belong With Me, Ye interrupted her and said:
"Yo, Taylor. I’m really happy for you. Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."
Fans quickly took to X to react to Ed Sheeran's throwback post, with many appreciating Taylor Swift's sense of humor. One X user wrote:
"And I’m gonna let u finish this but- oh don’t end K*nye like that😭😭😭"
"Her obsession with Kanye is not okay," another user jibed.
"That’s such a classic Taylor move—funny, sweet, and a total deep-cut reference! Iconic friendship," a fan remarked.
"She’s a comedian your honor," a netizen added.
Fans continued to react to Swift's eccentric message for Sheeran
"Bye her quoting Kanye speech nearly took me out," a fan joked.
"Kanye had an impact on her," a person opined.
"Handle that psycho for me, Tay," an X user chimed in.
