Ed Sheeran Spills the Cosmic Tea Behind His Mysterious “End Game” Verse—Prepare for a Taylor Swift Shockwave!

Added on July 7, 2025 inMusic News Cards

Ever wonder if the stars have a sneaky hand in sparking the kind of romance that makes you wanna write a hit song? Well, Ed Sheeran’s Fourth of July love story suggests they just might. Picture this: two old school friends, Cherry and Ed, both chilling at separate Fourth of July parties in Rhode Island—then bam!—fate (and a little text magic) brings them together in the most serendipitous way. Given that Leo season beams big-hearted, fiery vibes around this time, is it any wonder a fierce, lifelong connection was ignited under those sparkling fireworks? And honestly, who else but Ed would cozy that tale right into his lyrics—“Something was born on the Fourth of July”—like the universe was nudging him to spill the cosmic tea? Throw Taylor Swift into the mix, playing matchmaker extraordinaire, and you’ve got a celebrity love story with all the right notes. Spoiler: the party’s still going strong with a marriage and two daughters lighting up the scene. Curious to dive into the details of this star-crossed summer romance? LEARN MORE.

“I was texting [Cherry], and she was like: ‘I’m in Rhode Island at a 4th of July party,’ and I was like” ‘So am I,’” Ed previously told People, “I kinda said to Taylor: ‘Can I invite one of my old schoolmates?’ The rest is history.”

And suddenly, Ed’s “End Game” lyric: “Something was born on the Fourth of July” all makes sense, with his and Cherry’s romance also referenced earlier in the verse, where Ed sings: “Knew her when I was young / Reconnected when we were a little bit older.”

Taylor later surprised Ed and Cherry by marking their first anniversary at her 2016 Fourth of July party, and the happy couple ended up getting married in 2019 before welcoming two daughters together.
