It's no secret that Ed Sheeran loves Nashville — he made surprise appearances at Tootsie's and The Bluebird Cafe last month.
But he doubled down in a recent interview, reveling his desire to live here.
What he's saying: "Nashville is, like, my favorite city in the States," the singer said during an interview on the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast. "My end goal would be like, I'm gonna move to Nashville and transition to country."
The intrigue: Sheeran said he has already made country music songs — "they just haven't come out."
Yes, but: "I feel like I have to do it properly," Sheeran added of his Music City move. "I feel like once you transition to country, you can't transition back. Once you're there, you're there."
Flashback: Sheeran knows what he's talking about. He briefly lived in Nashville more than a decade ago.
Fun fact: Sheeran said he "got really into ranch dressing when I lived in Nashville."
