It was reported that English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran would appear as a guest artist on American recording artist Taylor Swift's then-upcoming album Red. On October 18, 2012, "Everything Has Changed" by Swift featuring Sheeran was leaked online.[3] The song was written by Swift and Sheeran in Swift's backyard.[3] "Everything Has Changed" is a guitar ballad,[2] blending folk-pop genres.[4] Written in the key of G-flat major, it has a moderate tempo of 84 beats per minute.[5] The duo's vocal range spans from G♭3 to D♭5.[5] Lyrically, the track talks about "wanting to get to know a new lover better".[2] Swift further explained the song's theme, "Everything looks different to you because of this one person, because one new person came into your life. It’s really cool".[3]

A writer from Billboard gave the song a mixed review, criticizing its composition yet complimenting Sheeran's appearance.[7] Robert Cospey of Digital Spy gave the song a three stars out of five rating, praising the song's musical style as "cutesy" but felt that "their exchanges leave us with a warm and fuzzy feeling that is all too rare these days".[4] Sian Rowe, a writer from NME provided "Everything Has Changed" a negative review, writing that the track is "disappointing in every way".[2]

A music video for "Everything Has Changed" was released on Swift's VEVO channel on YouTube on June 6, 2013.[21] It was directed by Philip Andelman and filmed in Oak Park, California at Medea Creek Middle School and San Antonio, Texas. The video begins with two children who initially appear to be Swift and Sheeran when they were much younger, meeting each other on a bus to elementary school.[22] Young Swift is played by Ava Ames.[23] Throughout the video, the two children have their "youthful play", including painting their faces with crayons, pretending to be a princess and knight, and dancing with each other in the empty school gym.[24] At the end, Swift and Sheeran appear and are revealed to actually be the parents of their child counterparts, arriving at the school to pick them up and take them back to their respective homes.[24] Jason Lipshutz from Billboard labelled the video as "impossibly adorable",[25] while Ray Rahman from Entertainment Weekly compared the video's synopsis to Forrest Gump, but "much more gentle than that".[22] As of January 2020, the video has more than 329 million views on YouTube.[26]
