Ed Sheeran has turned Taylor Swift into a Pizza Express lover after a pre-BRIT Awards dinner date.

The two friends went to the British restaurant chain before the ceremony on Wednesday and it's safe to say the Shake It Off star was delighted with the meal.

Speaking at the bash, Ed told heatworld: "I introduced her to Pizza Express.

"She'd never had Pizza Express, and she said it was the best pizza she'd ever had. We got two Calabreses and two side salads."

Meanwhile, Ed - who, along with Taylor, once hid from police during a wild Grammys after party - revealed he is already working on new music following the release of his second album x in 2014.

It was three years between his debut and sophomore records, and no date has been announced but the star is just enjoying writing songs.

He added: "I'm just working on it now and then. There's no set date. I just wanna write some songs."

After his meal with Taylor, Ed enjoyed a very successful evening at the BRIT Awards and let his hair down after the ceremony , partying until the early hours of the morning.

Ed was spotted leaving The Box with fellow award-winner Sam Smith at 6am.

With his flame-red locks hanging loosely over his face, Ed kept his eyes firmly on the floor as he exited the nightspot.
