Young love! Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran perform flirty duet about childhood romance on Britain's Got Talent season finale

By SHYAM DODGE

Flirty rendition: Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran performed their duet Everything Has Changed on the finale of Britain's Got Talent, on Saturday

If they were worried about fuelling relationship rumours Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran certainly showed no sign of it as they performed a flirty duet on the season finale of Britain's Got Talent.
The Nashville girl was positively beaming as she sang with the ginger haired Suffolk boy about a childhood romance in their co-written song Everything Has Changed, on Saturday's televised episode.

Kicker: Taylor began the performance with a series of dramatic hand gestures

The duo's effortless rendition of the nostalgic song comes after Ed was recently spotted leaving Taylor's hotel room at four in the morning, although he insists they're just friends.
The 23-year-old songstress assumed Ed's signature throaty vocal style for the acoustic set as she kicked off the performance with a series of dramatic hand gestures.

Sweet moment: Ed closed his eyes as he crooned while his glamorous partner sauntered over to him with obvious delight

Taylor set her smouldering blues eyes directly into the sight line of the rolling television cameras as she wore her straw coloured hair in a ponytail.
The Love Story singer was pretty in a polka dot summer dress as she clutched her steel stringed guitar while belting out the lyrically complex ballad.

Ed, for his part, appeared more reserved as he strummed his way through the song.
Once it was his turn to take over the lead vocals Taylor hopped over to his microphone, rocking back and forth as he crooned.
With his trademark shaggy 'do covering his pale blue eyes, the 22-year-old wore a blue long sleeve shirt and baggy jeans as his glamorous partner stood tall in heeled dancing shoes.
