Ed Sheeran has established himself as one of the most popular musicians in the modern era thanks to massive hits such as Shape Of YouThinking Out Loud and more. He also has a very close relationship with music legend Sir Elton John.

On the other hand, Rihanna remains one of the most successful singers in the music industry right now. While her singing career is certainly great, she doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to relationships.

The Shape Of You singer has also earned quite a fortune, especially last year. It seems Ed Sheeran also has a huge source of inspiration too.

While speaking to The Breakfast Club, Ed Sheeran revealed that when he first thinks up a song, he always has Rihanna in mind. Sheeran stated that he thinks of her as a benchmark for writing songs.
