THEY may be the best of friends, but Ed Sheeran admits Taylor Swift and her new beau Calvin Harris are yet to set him up on any dates.
Ed approves of Taylor and Calvin's relationship
The trio were seen recently heading out to lunch together and Ed has previously said that Calvin is a "really really nice guy".
However, it looks like a double date is not on the cards just yet, with the red headed musician revealing to the Express.co.uk that he's been way too busy for Taylor and Calvin to even think about setting him up.
Hinting that it could happen in the future though, Ed said about double dating with one of the world's hottest couples: "Not yet, I've been too busy touring."

Taylor and Calvin went public with their romance earlier this year
The Thinking Out Loud hitmaker just continues to get more and more successful and added yet another talent to his ever-growing list when he co-hosted the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, Canada on Sunday evening.
Despite it being a huge job, a confident Ed insisted ahead of the show that the whole thing was going to be "interesting but still fun" with him adding that he would definitely be up for continuing to take to the stage not just as a singer.
The 24-year-old explained: "I'd definitely do more presenting stuff if I was asked, but no-one ever asks."

Taylor and Ed have been friends for years
He also confessed before the show: “Every year I’ve gone to the MMVAs and every year I’ve had a lot of fun and kind of ended up drinking and kind of hosting anyway.
"Each year I’ve asked them, ‘Let me host it?’ and each year they’ve said 'no' and finally they said, ‘Yes.'”
Ed is known to be incredibly open in interviews and his MMVAs appearance comes after he recently said that ginger guys were getting more sex in England because of him.
The star admitted: “There are a lot of ginger dudes in England who are using me… You know what, we’re finally getting laid. This is a good thing."

He cheekily added: “There are loads of ginger people in England who are smashing it and having a lot of fun.”
After causing chaos online following the comments though, Ed later felt the need to defend himself.
Not one to be affected by the headlines, he said: “Every tongue and cheek comment I’ve been making recently makes news and is taken seriously.
“Apologies for any offence caused in it. But lighten up.”
