Ed Sheeran is reported to be working with US country superstar Taylor Swift on her new album.

The Brit-winner impressed the six-time Grammy-winner so much that she asked him to collaborate on her next record, reports The Sun.

A source said: "Ed and Taylor have been in the studio in LA a lot over the past few weeks working on new material.

"She's into her British music and became a massive fan of Ed before asking to work with him recently.

"There is a mutual affection between the pair."

The details of their collaboration aren't clear, but it's thought A Team singer Ed will get a co-writing credit when Taylor unveils her fourth studio album.

Earlier this month the Love Story singer tweeted: "Eating cheeseburgers, scribbling on guitars, writing songs with @edsheeran. :)"
