Ed Sheeran finally debuted his reimagined version of “The Joker And The Queen” after drumming up anticipation for the new collab with Taylor Swift.
AND to make the highly-anticipated song even better, Sheeran premiered the official music video this morning…
The video strikes a nostalgic chord, picking up where “Everything Has Changed” left off. Sheeran and Swift released the iconic collaboration in 2012, and have worked on two other songs since then: “End Game” in 2017, and “Run (Taylor’s Version)” last year. The new “The Joker And The Queen” music video features the original actors from the “Everything Has Changed video, a decade later. It’s “the coming-of-age story of the now 18-year-olds, Ava and Jack, as they head to university and embark on new adventures,” reads the release.

Sheeran’s original “The Joker And The Queen” was one of 14 tracks included on =, which Sheeran introduced as “my favourite album I’ve made.”
Fans started speculating a collaboration with Swift was on the way when the “Bad Habits” singer posted a subtle clue on social media. Sheeran shared a photo of an autographed album case with a design of a deck of cards, with a Joker on one end and a Queen — resembling Swift — on the other. He captioned: “Signing some cds for something coming in a bit, keep an eye out.”
Luckily, fans didn’t have to wait long for Sheeran to confirm the collaboration. Watch the new “The Joker And The Queen” music video here:
