Taylor Swift’s Joe Jonas-inspired mash-up at Eras Tour sparks fan theory it 'was all for Sophie Turner'
TORONTO, ONTARIO: Toronto’s Eras Tour night four has already cemented itself in Swiftie history, and not just because of Taylor Swift’s electrifying performance but also for her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas.
The evening at the Rogers Centre on November 21 became an emotional time capsule when the pop icon performed a mash-up of two songs famously tied to the Jonas brother.
Taylor Swift revisits Joe Jonas era with emotional acoustic set
For her acoustic surprise songs, Taylor delivered a blend of 'Mr Perfectly Fine' from 'Fearless (Taylor’s Version)' and 'Better Than Revenge' from the original 'Speak Now' album.
Both tracks have long been rumored to draw inspiration from her brief but memorable relationship with Jonas, adding an extra layer of poignancy to the night.
The 34-year-old megastar didn’t explicitly address her past romance during the show, but the song choices spoke volumes. For fans, it felt like a nod to the whirlwind of emotions that made those tracks resonate so deeply when they were first released.
The ex-couple reportedly dated for about three months only.
Backstory of the 27-second Swift and Jonas breakup call
Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas' teenage romance ended with a famously abrupt breakup call in 2008 - that took a mere 27 seconds, as Taylor revealed on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
Reflecting on it at the time, an 18-year-old Taylor remarked, “It’s all right. I’m cool. You know what? It’s like when I find that person, that is right for me and he’ll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I’m not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds.”
Her candidness about the breakup not only added fuel to the speculation surrounding her music but also solidified her reputation for weaving deeply personal narratives into her songs.
Since their teenage romance, Swift and Jonas have gone their separate ways, with Joe eventually marrying Swift's friend Sophie Turner in 2019.
Their relationship ended in 2023, and Taylor offered her support to Sophie during the challenging period by providing a home for her and her children.
