Taylor Swift shows off her long legs in small shorts while hiking with her best friend Ed Sheeran

Taylor Swift was keen to get in a solid exercise on Saturday, but anyone who spotted her on the route probably assumed she wanted a meal rather than a sweat session.

The 23-year-old pop sensation flaunted her slim arms and legs while hiking in Franklin Canyon, Los Angeles, with friend Ed Sheeran and her bodyguard.

Hiking buddy: Ed Sheeran maintained a few feet behind his leader as he followed Taylor up the path.

Swift, who is 5 feet 9 inches tall, boldly led the group with her agile, long limbs, leaving her hiking companions in her wake.

While the rest of the country froze, the You Belong To Me singer enjoyed an open-air sweat session in sunny California, wearing black Ray Ban sunglasses to hide the light and pulling her blonde hair up in a ponytail.

Taylor is 5’9″ tall and can move quickly.

Hurry up! Swift encouraged her cohorts to go faster so they wouldn’t be left behind.

Poor Ed, 22, trailed following the country star, undoubtedly worried that the uncharacteristically bright sun would damage his pale English skin.

Three’s a crowd! The country singer’s security carried a little backpack while she spoke with Sheeran.

He accompanied her on the Red tour, and they appeared together at Madison Square Garden in New York as part of Ed’s sell-out tour of America on November 1.

In a recent interview with InStyle, she remarked that she feels it is possible to love others while not feeling intimately bonded. ‘Ed said something that really got to me. He claims there are different sorts of love.

Taylor goes on to say, “There’s physical attraction, mental attrition, and emotional attraction, as well as comfort and obsession.”

Taylor and Ed have been performing together since 2012 and are good friends both on and off the stage.

‘You must have all of that in one individual. You must appreciate them intellectually, be physically beautiful, and comfortable. You’re infatuated with them, but you know they’ll stick around,’ she stated. “I’ve never had that in one person.”

Taylor’s quick friendship is a refreshing break from her more turbulent love relationships with Joe Jonas, Harry Styles, John Mayer, and Conor Kennedy.

Swift has said that guys are ‘inspiration on a plate’, and several of her songs are thought to be about famous ex-boyfriends.

The album Red, which includes the smash song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” is widely considered to be about ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.
