Joe Jonas Just Earnestly Replied To A Comment That Quoted One Of Taylor Swift's Diss Tracks About Him, And People Can't Decide If He Is In On The Joke Or Not
If you cast your minds way back to the year 2008, you may remember that Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas's three-month relationship came to a pretty brutal end when he dumped her in a 25-second phone call, which she went on to expose on The Ellen Show. Taylor, who was 18 years old at the time, was promoting her second album, Fearless, when she dropped the bombshell, telling host Ellen DeGeneres: '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.' She also revealed that the Fearless track 'Forever & Always' was a last-minute addition to the album that she had written towards the end of their failed relationship. The heartbreak anthem includes the lyrics: 'Was I out of line? / Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide / Like a scared little boy?' A year later, Joe seemingly responded to Taylor's public comments about their breakup when he released the song 'Much Better' with his and his brothers' band, the Jonas Brothers. Aged 19, he appeared to throw shade at Taylor with the lyrics: 'I get a rep for breakin' hearts / Now I'm done with superstars / And all the tears on her guitar / I'm not bitter.' While he didn't explicitly say that the song was about Taylor, it wasn't difficult for listeners to figure it out with the direct reference to her song 'Teardrops On My Guitar,' and if there was any doubt, Joe all-but-confirmed that he was taking aim at his ex when he changed the lyrics to 'done with country stars' during a live performance — an obvious jibe about Taylor's country music roots. Taylor and Joe went on to take subtle swipes at each other over the next couple of years. During Taylor's 2009 Saturday Night Live monologue, she famously sang: 'This is my musical monologue! / You might think I'd bring up Joe / That guy who broke up with me on the phone / But I'm not gonna mention him in my monologue.' She then quipped: 'Hey Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting SNL but I'm not gonna brag about that in my monologue.' Meanwhile, in 2013, Joe famously said in an interview with SiriusXM: 'The girl likes to date' when asked about Taylor's growing reputation as a serial dater. But by 2015, Joe insisted that he and Taylor were 'cool,' and the two were spotted hanging out together at the Billboard Music Awards. In 2019, Taylor admitted that she regretted putting Joe 'on blast' in that infamous Ellen interview, adding: 'We laugh about it now, but that was some mouthy — yeah, just some teenage stuff there.' Still, their newfound friendship didn't stop Taylor from releasing another diss track about Joe, 'Mr Perfectly Fine,' in April 2021 as part of her Fearless re-recording. She had originally written it for her 2008 album, but it didn't make the final cut, meaning that fans heard it for the first time when she released Fearless (Taylor's Version). In the song, Taylor suggests that Joe effectively lovebombed her before turning cold and ending their relationship. She implies that what she struggled with the most amid their split was the "casually cruel" way that Joe acted like he hadn't done anything wrong, accusing him of issuing an "insincere apology" and scrambling to make sure that "he doesn't look like the bad guy." Taylor also calls out the way that Joe was so effortlessly able to move on from their romance, and how his reputation continued to thrive. She sings: 'So dignified in your well-pressed suit / So strategized, all the eyes on you / Sashay away to your seat / It's the best seat, in the best room / Oh, he's so smug, Mr. 'Always wins' / So far above me in every sense / So far above feeling anything.' Thankfully, releasing this song didn't appear to impact Joe and Taylor's relationship in 2021, with Joe's then-wife, Sophie Turner, even poking fun at the fact that her husband was the inspiration behind the song when she shared a screenshot of it to her Instagram story and quipped: "It's not NOT a bop." Taylor reposted this to her own story. And just a month before their shock split in 2023, Sophie proudly posted a photo of herself wearing multiple friendship bracelets that read 'Mr. Perfectly Fine' in an apparent reference to Joe. Meanwhile, Joe also seemed to be unphased, and a year after 'Mr Perfectly Fine's' release he changed the lyrics of 'Much Better' to more accurately reflect his and Taylor's current situation, singing: 'I got a rep for breaking hearts / Now I'm cool with superstars / And all the tears on her guitar.' However, it seems likely that their relationship may have soured in recent years, with Taylor very publicly siding with Sophie amid her and Joe's incredibly messy and headline-dominating split in 2023. The star was spotted on multiple nights out with Sophie, and she even let the British actor stay in her New York City home. During this time, 'Mr Perfectly Fine' was reexamined in a new light, with screenshots of the lyrics regularly going viral on social media as Sophie's fans related them to their breakup. One comment read at the time: "I swear Taylor's roast of this assclown is so spot on. What a pathetic loser." So, it's perhaps fair to say that Joe may have a bit of a difficult relationship with this song, which is why fans were caught off-guard when he earnestly replied to a TikTok comment quoting lyrics from it on Wednesday. Joe posted a video of himself walking around the streets of London to an audio sound of somebody talking about his 'smart' 'TikTok presence" that keeps him "top of mind." TikTok @joejonas / Via Referencing both Joe's suit and Taylor's lyrics, one fan commented on the post: 'so dignified in his well pressed suit🤭,' to which Joe replied: 'Thanks for noticing' — and people can't decide whether Joe got the reference or not. Reacting to the comment on X, some speculated that he was in on the joke — especially when you factor in the sound he had used in the TikTok — and they praised him for the 'iconic' response. But others argued that Joe wouldn't be that familiar with his ex's lyrics, with one writing: 'He probably doesnt even know that's from Mr. perfectly fine." Somebody else referenced the earnestness in his reply as they tweeted: 'HELP THE WAY HE THINKS IT'S A GOOD THING?!" Do you think that Joe got the reference? Let me know in the comments below!

And after that, she was like, 'Oh, I'm doing some shows, would you want to come open for me?' And she just kept getting bigger and bigger.'
