Taylor Swift is setting the record straight about not telling close friend Ed Sheeran about her engagement to Travis Kelce.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (October 6), Swift cleared the air about the "true" rumor that Sheeran found out about her happy news on Instagram rather than from the Life of a Showgirl musician herself, per People. However, she has a "perfect explanation" for not getting in touch immediately.

"He doesn't have a phone," she said. "And this is one thing I love about him. It's very eccentric. Love it. But when I'm going through saying, 'Hey, who should we call? Who should we FaceTime?' I'm going through my texts and being like, 'Who have I texted within the last, like, month of my life.'"

Swift said that she can really only get in touch with Sheeran, who she called "one of [her] absolute favorite people on the planet," through email and that he has to find an iPad for a FaceTime call. Since he doesn't have a phone, there was no catalog of recent conversations between the stars so he slipped through the cracks.

"Then, when the news came out I was like, 'Oh my God we forgot to call Ed! Oh no!,'" she recalled, adding, "He's like family. I love him. But he doesn't have a phone!"

Sheeran even weighed in on her reasoning in the comments under a video shared to The Tonight Show's TikTok, hilariously writing, "Hello from my allotted iPad time, this is factual." The "Azizam" singer has seemingly already confirmed the theory himself, sharing a TikTok last month of him staring at a tablet on a rocky shoreline and describing himself as an "iPad kid 4eva"

Swift and Kelce announced their engagement after two years of dating on August 26, sharing several photos on Instagram of the romantic proposal as well as pics of her new diamond engagement ring. During her chat with Fallon, she revealed how her now-fiancé was so "nervous" before popping the question that it clued her in that he was about to propose because he's "professionally not a nervous person."
