Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas
Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas had a brief romance back in 2008 when she was just 18 years old and he was a member of the popular boy band, the Jonas Brothers. Their relationship gained a lot of attention at the time and was closely followed by fans and the media alike.
Rumored Song: “Forever and Always”
The song that is rumored to be about Joe Jonas is “Forever and Always” from Taylor Swift’s second studio album, “Fearless.” Though Taylor has never publicly confirmed that the song is about Joe Jonas, there are several lyrics that fans believe to be references to their relationship.
In “Forever and Always,” Taylor sings about a partner who suddenly breaks up with her over a 27-second phone call. This incident aligns with rumors that Joe Jonas ended their relationship abruptly over a phone call, blindsiding Taylor.
One of the most telling lyrics that fans point to as being about Joe Jonas is in the bridge of the song: “Was I out of line? / Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide like a scared little boy?”. This alludes to Joe Jonas not handling their breakup maturely and running away from the relationship.
Furthermore, some fans believe that the line “You didn’t mean it, baby” refers to Joe Jonas denying the seriousness of their relationship, implying that he didn’t truly care for her.
Gossip and Speculations
While Taylor Swift has never explicitly confirmed the inspiration behind “Forever and Always,” there have been some interesting developments in their relationship over the years that have added fuel to the speculation.
In a 2008 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift mentioned that she had written a breakup song about Joe Jonas. She didn’t explicitly state which song it was, but considering the timing and the lyrics of “Forever and Always,” it is highly likely that it was about him.
Additionally, in 2019, during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Taylor played a game of “Burning Questions” where she was asked to reveal something she regretted putting on blast in a song. Taylor humorously replied, “Probably when I put Joe Jonas on blast on your show. That was too much. I was 18, yeah.”
These instances strongly suggest that “Forever and Always” was indeed inspired by her breakup with Joe Jonas.
Conclusion
While Taylor Swift has never officially confirmed that “Forever and Always” is about Joe Jonas, the lyrics and the surrounding gossip strongly indicate that it is. The song depicts a sudden breakup over a phone call, mirroring the rumored events of their relationship. Throughout the track, Taylor sings about feeling hurt and betrayed, pointing fingers at a scared little boy who ran away from their relationship. Though it might be fun to speculate about the inspiration behind Taylor’s songs, it’s essential to remember that artists often take artistic liberties and may draw inspiration from multiple experiences.
