During his interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, the 34-year-old pop singer revealed his admiration for the Fenty mogul.

Sheeran told the host that he originally wrote his hit song, Shape of You, for RiRi, explaining, "Rihanna has the best taste out of anyone. She always picks just really, really great songs."

He continued, "So as songwriters within the songwriting community, you're always writing songs to pitch to Rihanna."

Additionally, Justin Bieber's chart-topping track, Love Yourself, was another song that the British songwriter initially envisioned for the Work singer.

After Fallon remarked that Rihanna seemed to be Sheeran's "muse," the English songwriter agreed and noted that he wasn't the only one inspired by her artistry.

Sheeran added, "I promise you, there'll be so many songwriters out there whose best song came from trying to write a Rihanna song." Does this mean the Thinking Out Loud will be in the studio with RiRi for R9? Stay tuned!
