Hunter Hayes On Ed Sheeran: "He’s Unbelievably Talented"

US singer brands Ed "a cool dude" while also praising mutual pal Taylor Swift! See what he's got to say here...

Hunter Hayes has praised Ed Sheeran during an interview with MTV News.

When quizzed about the Don't hitmaker, Hunter - who toured with Sheeran when on Taylor Swift's Red US tour - revealed: "Ed is one of those guys who you think you’ve been introduced to… you listen to his song on the radio and then you see him live and you think, ‘Oh wow that’s amazing’ and you think, 'Oh yeah, now I’ve seen it all’ and then you meet him and you’re like ‘Wow, alright, keeps getting better’…

"It’s a cool thing about somebody like that, he’s unbelievably, just stupid talented. Just so good, you know. Great guitar player, I think I connected with that part. The guitar playing, the looping, there’s a sort of studio, musician, geekery, madness that’s going on that I really loved, you know. But then when I met him, I had no idea he’d be such a cool dude, so I really respect him for that. "

Hayes also spoke about his admiration for Taylor Swift, branding her a "phenomenal performer and a great songwriter".
