- Joe Jonas revealed in a new interview that he’s listened to “some” of ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl
- Jonas said “there are some catchy melodies” in reference to Swift’s 12th studio album
- Jonas and Swift famously dated in the 2000s and broke up in 2008
Joe Jonas is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.
“I’ve heard some of it,” Jonas, 36, told Esquire. “I think she’s obviously the biggest artist out there.”
Jonas had praise for Swift’s 12th studio album, adding, “I think it’s good. Everybody’s got an opinion about it, but from what I’ve heard, there are some catchy melodies.”
The Life of a Showgirl dropped on Oct. 3, and saw her reunited with reputation hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback as producers.
Jonas famously dated Swift, 35, in the 2000s. After their 2008 breakup, fans of the 14-time Grammy winner speculated that a number of her Fearless and Speak Now era hits reference Jonas, from “Forever and Always” and “Mr. Perfectly Fine” to “Better Than Revenge.”
Following the breakup, Swift famously said on The Ellen Show, “It’s all right, I’m cool you know what? It’s like, when I find that person that is 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 when I was 18.”

In the years since, Swift notably befriended Jonas’ ex-wife Sophie Turner. In 2020, fans speculated that a line from Swift’s folklore track “invisible string” referenced Jonas — only this time, about their friendship. “Cold was the steel of my axe to grind, for the boys who broke my heart. Now I send their babies presents,” Swift sings in the song.
Jonas and Turner, 29, divorced in September 2024. Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage from Turner on Sept. 5, 2023. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the filing claimed “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” A judge granted the divorce one year later. The former couple’s relationship began in 2016.

“She really has a heart of gold,” Turner added at the time.
