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.

Taylor Swift didn’t appear like she needed to shed any weight when she hit the trail at Franklin Canyon in Los Angeles on Saturday.

‘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.
