Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift Quotes: Relationship, Breakup

It has been more than a decade since Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas were an item. However, with the upcoming release of Taylor’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), the boybander opened up about where their relationship currently stands.

“I hope to think they like me,” Joe said of Taylor’s diehard fans during a May 2023 appearance on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. “No one f–ks with the Swifties.”

He went on to say that while the Swiftie’s came for him “many, many years” ago – presumably following the couple’s split – that he and Taylor are “cool.”

The former couple first sparked dating rumors in the summer of 2008, after Taylor joined the Jonas Brothers on stage at a few of their Burnin’ Up Tour stops.

“We’re all friends,” the Pennsylvania native told People at the time, denying the rumors. “He’s an amazing guy and anybody would be lucky to be dating him.”

By November of that year – shortly after she released her second studio album, Fearless – Taylor sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on the comedian’s former talk show and famously slammed the “Cake By The Ocean” artist for his swift breakup.

“Someday, I’m gonna find somebody really, really, really great, who’s right for me …” she told the Ellen. “When I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful and when I look at that person, I’m not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”

While Taylor later admitted to regretting her public “rebellious” moment, Joe isn’t the only former flame of the “Bad Blood” artist who has spoken out since the announcement of Speak Now’s re-release.

Following her split from the Camp Rock star, Taylor moved on to date Twilight actor Taylor Lautner after meeting on the set of the film Valentine’s Day in 2009.

“I think it’s a great album. Yeah, I feel safe,” Lautner told TODAY.com on May 16 following the news of Taylor’s re-recording. “Praying for John [Mayer],” he joked.

The actor later clarified that his comment might not have been “the wisest thing to say.”

“I was definitely joking, but clearly it’s taken off,” he said the following day on The Happy Hour on TODAY Show Radio on SiriusXM.

November 2008

“For those who have expressed concern over the ’27 second’ phone call, I called to discuss feelings with the other person,” Joe shared via MySpace after Taylor opened up on Ellen. “Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk.”

June 2009

The Jonas Brothers released their album Lines, Vines and Trying Times which featured one song that seemingly referenced Joe’s split from the “Love Story” artist.

“I get a rep for breakin’ hearts / Now I’m done with superstars / And all the tears on her guitar,” the brothers sing, alluding to Taylor’s hit “Teardrops on My Guitar.”

August 2012

The former DNCE singer confirmed that Taylor’s hit off her Red album “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is not about their relationship.

“I don’t think we’ve ever tried [to get back together] another time, so I can tell you it’s not about me,” he revealed during a chat with 94.7 Fresh FM. “That said, I think the song is great. Taylor does pop music really well and I’m happy for her.”

May 2019

Back on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Taylor revealed that the public bashing of Joe was her “most rebellious” teen moment.

“Probably when I like, put Joe Jonas on blast on your show,” she told the host. “That was too much. Yeah, that was too much. I was 18. We laugh about it now, but that was mouthy … just teenage stuff there.”

April 2021

Taylor released “Mr. Perfectly Fine” from the vault as part of her Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which seemingly refers to her boyband ex.

Joe’s wife, Sophie Turner – a huge Swiftie herself – took to Instagram following the song’s release, further confirming the song was about her husband.

“It’s not NOT a bop,” the Game of Thrones alum shared via her Instagram Story, which Taylor later reshared, adding “Forever bending the knee to the [queen] of the north.”
