who is don't by ed sheeran about
Don't (Ed Sheeran song) About his other songs, Sheeran has openly stated who inspired the lyrical content.[10] But since the release of "Don't", he had remained silent to whom the song is directed to.[11] In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Sheeran articulated that he had dated a few singers, but friend, Taylor Swift, was not among them, and in fact, he played the track to her. Tabloids linked the singers, Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding, to Sheeran.[8] On 31 October 2015, Fuse posted an interview in which Sheeran says, "'Don't' is just a song thatâ€™s close to the bone and definitely opened up a door that I probably shouldn't have opened up. [...] I just won't say who it's about because... I mean everyone, everyone fucking knows anyway. But like I just won't say who it's about cause it's quite a negative song."[10]
