During the conversation, Sheeran revealed that the idea for his rap in "End Game" came from a dream. Swift, in good spirits, quipped, "So it’s not talent, it accidentally happened to you." She also jokingly mocked his accent when he mentioned the line "something was born on the Fourth of July," expressing how that line makes her happy.

Sheeran explained that the line is a play on words, referring to the Tom Cruise film "Born on the Fourth of July" and how his relationship started on the Fourth of July at Taylor's house.
According to Sheeran, during the party, he asked Swift if a girl he knew from school could join, and that girl turned out to be Cherry Seaborn. Swift enthusiastically shared how cool Cherry is, and in a heartwarming touch, Swift made them a "Happy Ed-ver-Cherry" banner for their anniversary.
The behind-the-scenes video also adds a new layer to the Taylor Swift narrative, introducing a mystery man she is playing mobile Scrabble with. Swift playfully mentions making him wait to add a bit of stress to the game, showcasing her strategic and playful nature.
The video not only provides a glimpse into the making of "End Game" but also adds a touch of romance and camaraderie between Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, making fans appreciate the personal connections behind the music.
