One Direction's Niall Horan and Ellie Goulding Cheating Twitter Scandal Revealed By 'Divergent' 'Beating Heart' Artist's Boyfriend Ed Sheeran's 'Don't,' Taylor Swift's Pal Says 'Burn' Singer Had Sex

It looks like Ed Sheeran may be taking a page out of Taylor Swift's break up book and decided to bash ex-girlfriend Ellie Goulding and One Direction's Niall Horan.

According to Hollywood Life, the British singer's latest song "Don't" takes a dig at his former flame that cheated on him.

Even though the "I See Fire" singer's romance with the "Burn" songstress was short lived, the failed relationship clearly took a toll on the red head.

In the song featured on his upcoming album "X," due out on June 23rd Sheeran belts out, "I never saw him as a threat, 'til you ­disappeared with him to have sex."

The tune goes on to have the artist sing, "If I show courtesy and respect to someone, I expect to receive it."

The artist continued to add more fuel to the rumors that "Don't" was indeed about his ex-girlfriend during a chat with Billboard.

He explained, "The last album was more young and dewy-eyed and innocent. I've still got very nice songs on this record. But some of them are bite-y."

He told the magazine, "The story in 'Don't' is 100 percent true. I could have gotten nastier - there was more shit that I didn't put in."

Ed Sheeran revealed to the publication that his ex-girlfriend was actually fooling around with one of his friends.

He admitted, "I was seeing someone for a bit of time, and then they ended up physically involved with one of my friends in the same hotel that we were staying in, while I was downstairs."

He continued, "And I feel like: Treat people how you want to be treated."

Fans have actually been curious as to whether their was a fling between Ellie Goulding and Niall Horan who reportedly hooked up at V Festival just days before the 2013 VMAs.

However, the "One Thing" singer posted a message for his more than 17.9 million Twitter followers. He tweeted, "So many lazy and shit rumours flying around! get a grip !"
