US EditionEd Sheeran Shares Rare Throwback Photo With Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris and More
- Ed Sheeran launched an Instagram account called Teddy's Old Phone on April 29, 2025, featuring rare photos with Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, and others from before 2016 to promote his single Old Phone.
- Sheeran created the account after a copyright lawsuit over his 2014 song Thinking Out Loud forced him to turn on an old phone for evidence, which led him to revisit memories and inspire new music.
- The account shares over 200 intimate posts, including moments with friends, family, and collaborators, and connects to his upcoming single Old Phone, described as emotional and written while jet lagged in India.
- Sheeran explained that the song has the feel of something from his first album, yet it was only possible to write after going through certain personal experiences, and singing it stirs up strong emotions for him.
- Old Phone released May 1 at 11 a.m. ET, marks the first single from his upcoming album Play, and the archival Instagram account suggests he is reflecting on his past while preparing new music.
