Ed Sheeran may have denied rumors that he and friend Taylor Swift are dating. However, a recent string of pictures shows the two getting cozy at an ice creamery in Connecticut. Could these be proof that their friendship is turning into romance?

A series of images have surfaced over the internet showing T. Swift and Sheeran at Mel's Downtown Creamery in Pawcatuck, Conn. According to Hollywood Life, the two singers who are touring together were at the dessert stop Jul. 29, to take part in the Big Kahuna challenge -- a sundae-eating dare that involves eight scoops of ice cream, seven different toppings, bananas, brownies and a top full of whipped cream.

The "Lego House" singer was the one who took part in the challenge, but Swiftie showed all-out support for her BFF. Hollywood Life says the 22-year-old songstress had her phone blasting "Eye of the Tiger" as Ed tried to engulf the mountain of ice cream.

Nicole Deacon, a big T. Swift fan who was lucky enough to be at the same place with her "idols", sent out a play-by-play on her Twitter account. According to her, Taylor was "giving Ed so many words of encouragement."

"Taylor looked at us and was like isn't he such a good role model.. Educating the future of America," the eyewitness tweeted. "She also kept saying C'MON DO IT FOR AMERICA"

At one time Ed wanted to quit the challenge, but according to Deacon, Swift had some motivational words for him: "Do you wanna be on the wall of losers. I drove you all the way here," the Grammy Award-winning singer said.

"Ed kept drooling Ice cream and coughing and Taylor just goes ew and cracks up laughing...They also listened to don't stop believing .. Ed kept looking at his Ice cream and saying I won't stop believing...Taylor kept asking people for tips to give Ed so he could finish his ice cream.. She said you can't let these people down," the play-by-play went.

According to Mel's Downtown Creamery, Sheeran finished the bowl in 33 minutes. And when Ed finally went to the bathroom to "get sick", the eyewitness said Taylor checked on him. Aww... sweet!

Sheeran also sent out several tweets about his Big Kahuna challenge, from signing a contract "just in case" to a simple "Victorious" with an image of him and his almost empty bowl.

Ed and Taylor may deny being together, but after downing a monster bowl of ice cream together, romance may not be too far off.
