Famous singers Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have just released a music video featuring remix for ‘The Joker and the Queen’, making it the pop icons’ first collaboration.
The 2013 video for “Everything Has Changed,” a track from Swift’s 2012 album Red, follows Sheeran and Swift’s imaginary children (who look very much like the singers) as they fall in love in elementary school. Nearly 10 years later, the same actors reprise their roles — this time as college students at different schools as they imagine a life together as they begin adulthood.

In the video, the young couple reminisce about their childhoods as they go through college life. By the end of the clip, the pair finally reunites in their hometown, where they originally met.
The song, which originally appeared on Sheeran’s 2021 album =, marks the fourth collaboration between the pop powerhouses. “Me and Taylor first met and wrote and recorded our first song together in 2012, ten years ago now, I’m so so honored to have her on this song,” Sheeran tweeted after the video premiered. “Not only is she the best singer/songwriter in the world but she’s also a very close friend, I’m very lucky to have her in my life.”
