The 22-year-old singer-songwriter has revealed his love of the music genre, after supporting good friend Taylor Swift's headline tour across North America throughout the summer, reported Digital Spy online.
"Country music is some of the best-written music in the world, so yeah, one day, I would keep my mind open to doing a country record," Sheeran said.
"Hunter Hayes has some sick music. There's so much good country music out there."
Sheeran is currently working on his second studio album, which is expected to be released in early 2014.
