Joe Jonas on Taylor Swift’s New Single: It’s not about me!

Posted by  on

Seems like Taylor Swift’s got a new target in her new song!

The country singer’s newest single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” was released just recently, and a lot of her fans immediately wondered to which of the singer’s exes was the angry breakup song directed to. And Joe Jonas, being one of those exes, was immediately put in the hot seat when he dropped by 94.7 Fresh FM’s radio booth for an interview. Jonas, now 23, said:

“I can say it’s not about me, because I don’t think we’ve ever tried another time.”

Swift, 22, and Jonas dated way back in 2008, and according to the Grammy-winning singer, the JoBro dumped her during a 27-second phone call. Remembering this, Jonas repeated, laughing:

“I can tell you it’s not about me!”

He then added:

“I like the song. That said, I think the song is great…Taylor does pop music really well and I’m happy for her.”

So, Taylor, tell us. To whom are you singing the song?

The country singer, 22, is officially dating a Kennedy! But no, hold on, it’s not Patrick Schwarzenegger.  Just recently, Swift was spotted together with Conor Kennedy, 18, son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy. According to an onlooker, the two “walked on the beach and played on a trampoline.” And, after sailing:

Conor put his arm around Taylor and they kissed behind the boat shed.

Following this, a source confirms:

Taylor is officially dating Conor Kennedy.

But wait, there’s more! Turns out the odds are in the couple’s favor, because even Conor’s whole family loves Taylor! According to another source:

The Kennedys love Taylor and think she’s amazing!

Hayden Panettiere: I’m Not Copying Taylor Swift!

Hayden Panettiere

The comparisons may be inevitable, but Hayden Panettiere just wants to make it clear that she is not trying to imitate Taylor Swift in her new series Nashville on ABC. She states:

I’ve heard the Taylor Swift thing quite a bit. And I think aside from being around the same age and blonde, we’re very different. I think once you see her and get to know my character a little bit better, you’ll see that. I really think Taylor would disagree wholeheartedly as well. She’s much nicer than my character!

In the show, Panettiere will be playing the role of Juliette Barnes, an up-and-coming singer who is offered the opportunity to tour with Rayna James (Connie Britton), a country music legend. As they do, the two women develop quite a rivalry quickly.

Nashville is set to premiere on October 10, 10 p.m. EST, only on ABC. Stay tuned!
