Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran are the subject of our latest couple alert! The Hollywood rumor mill has these two romantically linked, and guess what everyone -- we apparently have Taylor Swift to thank! According to sources via Us Weekly, Swifty introduced the pair over Memorial Day weekend. Taylor and Selena are longtime friends, while Ed Sheeran is currently on Taylor's RED tour. The sources reveal that Selena and Ed are QUOTE 'hooking up,' explaining that Ed is a 'nice escape from the drama' of her previous relationship.' Whether or not this romance rumor has any truth to it will have to wait to be seen, however we do know that Ed Sheeran is open to the idea. When recently asked about maybe be set up with Selena Gomez, he answered saying QUOTE 'I wouldn't complain.' IN just the last few weeks, Sheeran was spotted, guitar in hand, leaving SG's house, but he later confirmed they are definitely not collaborating. So, why the guitar and why the hang-out session? Well, guys, romance aside, I gotta say it is actually possible that these are simply friends and nothing more. But, just for fun, let's talk about why these two might be a good match. First off, they have a close mutual friend (Taylor Swift), and it's great when your friends like who you date, so that's checked off the list. Second, they're both in the music world, so they have a similar passion. Third, they both seem very anti-drama and are definitely.
