Ed Sheeran says Taylor Swift should date Orlando Bloom, Huffington Post reported.

Ed Sheeran is one of Taylor Swift's closest friends and the British singer has some love advice for his best friend. Sheeran said that Swift and Orlando Bloom are perfect for each other.

In an interview with Now magazine, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer revealed that he thinks Swift should date Bloom since they live in the same area in New York.

"He's lovely, and they live in the same building. [I'm hoping that ] the magic might present itself eventually," Sheeran said.

This is not the first time that Sheeran played as a matchmaker to his friends. The singer introduced his friend Courtney Cox to her current fiancé musician Johnny McDaid.

"I go out a lot - to meet people, hang out and bring my friends to house parties. This was one of those nights, and I brought Johnny along with me and introduced them. At the end of the night I went home, and he didn't. That was it," Sheeran revealed.

Given his skills in paring his friends with potential lovers, Sheeran's choice for Swift's next beau is a good one. Bloom and Swift have some things in common.

Swift is best friends with Selena Gomez, who is also a friend of the actor. Gomez and Bloom attended a conference together for We Day, which is a convention to inspire young people, according to TMZ.

Aside from that, the pair shares the same ill feelings towards Gomez's former flame, Justin Bieber. In the middle of the year, Bloom punched Bieber when they confronted each other at a party in Ibiza. The pop singer reportedly got cozy with Bloom's ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, Mirror UK reported.

Bieber's attitude when it comes to the women he dates is something that Swift does not also approve. The "Blank Space" singer was seen sticking out her tongue upon seeing her bff Gomez kissing Bieber on the cheek at an awards show. Swift is reportedly Gomez's number one advisor when it comes to staying away from her ex-boyfriend.

Just like Sheeran, fans are on the lookout for Swift's love life. The best friends will be seeing each other since they are both nominated for the Grammy Awards, which will air on Feb. 8, 2015.
