Ed Sheeran Stands By Taylor Swift Amid VMAs Drama

Ed Sheeran is sticking by his friend Taylor Swift amid her drama with Nicki Minaj over the VMA nominations.

“I think everyone knows that Taylor has done nothing wrong in that situation,” the 24-year-old entertainer told The Daily Telegraph of his former tour-mate.

“She didn’t nominate herself for the awards. It’s not her fault. She just made some good videos and people think they’re good,” Ed continued. “I think the Minaj point is a bit redundant, her point is that you have to be skinny and white to get a Video of the Year nomination, but Beyonce’s ’7/11? is in there, and that is celebrating the female figure in every form.”

Later, Ed took to Twitter to clarify his comments: “I was making a point about body image and not race, whilst sticking up for a mate, I definitely said it wrong though, apologies.”
