Singer Ed Sheeran's tour with Taylor Swift cost him 5,000 pounds when he ran up a huge phone bill during the first month of being in the US.
The 'Lego House' hitmaker has been supporting the country singer Swift on her US tour and revealed over the first four weeks phone calls home piled up to cost thousands of pounds, reported Sun online.
"I used my UK phone over here for about a month and the bill was five grand when I got home. I am not going to use my UK phone any more and my bill's only about USD 60 a month now, that's around 40 pounds," he said.
Rumours had circulated Sheeran and the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' musician were dating, but the singer recently dismissed the claims.
"I think it would be incredibly unprofessional and idiotic for me to do that. To go on tour for six months with someone and hook up with them just before you go out on tour, which is what people think we did--that's just a really silly thing to do, because the tour would be very awkward by now, and it's not, so that's that," he added.
