Taylor Swift, the Break-Up, and the Crazy Jonas Brothers Fans

Written by CallmeMaddy
Published November 16, 2008

“You run and hide like a scared little boy.” That is a line in Taylor Swift’s song, “Forever and Always,” available on her new CD Fearless. “Forever and Always” reflects a relationship between Taylor and her ex, Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.

Taylor said, "You know what, if they don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things."

Within the past couple of days, Taylor and Joe’s break-up has obsessed the press. The best I can tell, Joe broke up with Taylor Swift over the phone in a 27-second phone call, because he had fallen for Year 3000 actress Camilla Belle after they met filming the music video for the Jonas Brothers’ song, “Lovebug.”

Taylor was very vocal about the break-up. She told the press everything, from US Magazine to Ellen. She made a video where she held up a Joe Jonas doll and said, “Stay away from him, ok?” and “See, this one even comes with a phone, so he can break up with other dolls.”

Now Jonas Brothers fans (who are known to be, if not crazy, then perhaps obsessive - and I mean that in the best way possible) are attacking Miss Swift, saying things like she’s using Joe for attention and she’s classless.

First of all, this is just Taylor acting like Taylor. She writes great “I hate you, my stupid ex” break-up songs all the time. Who can ever forget “Picture to Burn?” This is how Taylor deals with that kind of thing, if you ask me. And that’s totally fine with me. Plus, she’s a teenage girl. The majority of teen girls I know would do the exact same thing. Yeah, she told the press all about her break-up. Does that make her classless? No. That makes her a teenage girl. If anyone doesn’t have class, it’s Joe for breaking up with Taylor over the phone.

Taylor Swift does not need to be associated with Joe Jonas to be famous. She is one of the most successful country acts today. Fearless dominated the charts. Earlier this week, the eighteen-year-old singer/songwriter had thirteen of the top fifteen songs on iTunes’ Top Country Songs chart, including the entire Top 10. Taylor also had two songs in the top fifteen of Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 singles chart, AND Fearless held the #1 slot at the top of iTunes all-genre Top Albums chart. Taylor is the only female artist ever to have five consecutive Top Ten singles from a debut album on the Billboard country chart. Currently, she has the number one song on Billboard's country chart and has three on the Billboard top 50. So much for the "Taylor wants fame" argument: the Jonas Brothers have zero. Ouch. Her album, according to Billboard, is on track to sell over 600,000 copies.

Now, I like both Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift, but this fight between fans is really ridiculous. Let’s just let Taylor be Taylor and let Joe ride it out with his new girlfriend in Mexico. Name-calling and dissing Taylor is really pointless and childish.

fyi; camilla belle is from 10000 B.C., not Year 3000

#2 — November 16, 2008 @ 14:17PM — Savanna

We don't know exactly what happened, so we can't judge. I do think Taylor definitely could have and should have handled the break up much more maturely, but that is no reason to bash her because we really don't know. I do think that breaking up with Taylor over the phone maybe wasn't the best way to break up, but that is no reason to call him classless because we really don't know. We can't trust everything Taylor says to be completely unbiased because she is hurt. Of course she will portray the one who hurt her as a jerk. All in all I think it is just better to let them live their lives and trust that both made decision that were best for them.

#3 — November 16, 2008 @ 14:31PM — Bobbie Ann

Taylor ur a whiney baby suck it up and get over it joe is the best thing thats ever happened to you you 2 just dont click GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#4 — November 16, 2008 @ 14:34PM — Bobbie Ann

I didnt mean 2 seem harsh but dont talk bad about Joe alot of people wuld love to date him u r lucky i just got mad because i love him

#5 — November 16, 2008 @ 14:36PM — Vivian

i 100% agree with you. couldn't have said it better.

#6 — November 16, 2008 @ 14:41PM — jonas fan

i hate taylor. i think shes selfish, and she knows that the only reason he broke up with her over the phone is because he wasn't anywhere near her and is one of the busiest people on the planet. i think its fine to write songs about it, but not to go off about it in blogs. This kind of thing should be kept personal, and i'm sure that right now joe's really glad he dumped her. i'd be if one of my exes behaved that way.

#7 — November 16, 2008 @ 15:14PM — Tory

I think that Taylor handled this maturely. She never actually said anything bad about Joe. She merely was stating that she was hurt by how he broke up with her. And I would be too, if some guy took less than half a minute to tell me it was over because he found someone else.
I mean I know lots of girls are obsessed with the Jonas Brothers, but I'm personally not a fan-at all. I love Taylor. She's the greatest person on the planet and she deserves so much better. It's not even that big of a deal, I don't think she could have kept it quiet. It bugged me that she wouldnt say if she was dating him or not over the summer, cause it's sooo obvious. She didn't want to hide things from her fans-and I'm glad she came out with it.
I don't like Joe, never have, never will. I love Taylor and I'll stand by her no matter how she handles any break up.

#8 — November 16, 2008 @ 15:31PM — madison

i soo agree with you, i love both of them...they need to get over it.

#9 — November 16, 2008 @ 15:32PM — jocy

i think she's trying to let joe know what she feels over these blogs and interviws, since she can't say it to his face. and yeeah, joe was probably to busy to break up with her by person, but 27 sec...wow....

#10 — November 16, 2008 @ 15:47PM — k0tiic

TEAM TAYLOR soo immature like high school kids to break up with her over the phone JOE IF YOU WANT TO BE 15 AGAIN DATE 15 YEAR OLD GIRL BITCH. JOE is dating ONeeee ugly girl taylor has so much more talent and is waaayyyy prettier than camillee taht whore. plus shes older and JOE and camilltoe LOOK LIKE TWINS for christ sake!!!!!!!1

#11 — November 16, 2008 @ 15:53PM — i talk to people with a BRAIN

omg stfu jonas fanatics i dont understand why you obsesse over a guy who doesnt even know you exist

if you were taylor you would do the exact same thing and you probably already have all over your myspace and facebook whatever social website you have

stop being hypocrites you dumb losers

shes human shes not a robot like joe jonas who acts like nothing happened

#12 — November 16, 2008 @ 16:06PM — Kendra

I LOVE JOE!!! HE IS RIGHT!!!!! JOE IS AWESOME AND SO ARE NICK AND KEVIN!!!!!! I LOVE THE JONAS BROTHERS!!!! JOE DID NOT CHEAT ON TAYLOR OR ANY OTHER GIRLFRIEND!!!

#13 — November 16, 2008 @ 16:10PM — Alicin

TEAM JONAS!!!!! I am on Joe's side!!!! He did not cheat on Taylor!!!! JOE IS AWESOME!! AND PEOPLE NEED TO STOP GIVING HIM A HARD TIME ABOUT GIRLS!!! ALL OF THE JONAS BROTHERS NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!

#14 — November 16, 2008 @ 16:49PM — Sydnee & Lauren

sydnee: you guys are stupid.

lauren: yeah..

you guys don't have anything to do with their famous life, you may love joe jonas to death but he's never going to be with you. i'm sure that all of you guys don't know shit about anything. it's alright you guys can keep talking you're shit, because it doesn't matter to joe or taylor you guys are nothing but the people bringing them more fame because you're buying all of their music.

ALL OF YOU SHOULD JUST DIE?!

#15 — November 16, 2008 @ 16:52PM — traceyjonas

ok first of all why are you trying to brag about taylor swift? i've heard her songs there ok. but god jonas. whats up with you? i mean just stay out of there buisness this is why they never say who they date when they're dating. what ev.

#16 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:15PM — lindsey

I realize that Taylor Swift is young, and young people do and say stupid things, but seriously, this whole thing was sooo tacky. I don't fault her for writing songs about it, but how she spoke about Joe on Ellen and stuff, that was just plain wrong and incredibly immature. Also, I don't know what you expect from Joe, but odds are, they were on different ends of the country, how else was he supposed to break up with her?

#17 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:16PM — Vickyjo

Taylor is doin the right thing tell people how joe is.I guess it just run in the Jonas family cuz Nick did the same thing to Miley.Joe just toke Taylor for grantted is he can get more famous so suck my dick Joe.GO TEAM TAYLOR.TAYLOR is #1

#18 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:20PM — Yam

Please stop saying that she's doing all this because she can't tell him how she feels.
He has said that he tried to make contact with her again and she wouldn't answer. And that she hung up on him. And I believe him.

Sure, he's an idiot for breaking up with her over the phone but he's 19, people. If you date any of my friends, consider yourself lucky if yiu get a break-up e-mail. And that doesn't make it right, but it's normal teenage behaviour.

Leave Joe alone.

She didn't just write a song about it, she totally tried to destroy his reputation every time she got a chance. She even implied he cheated on her.

Don't tell me she's not classles pshhh

And of course "Fearless" is doing great. After this whole scandal launched conviniently a week before the album was released, how couldn't it? Gimme a break.

I get she's hurt, and I sympathize, but she crossed the line. She should've kept this between Joe and herself.

#19 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:41PM — Audrey

Nothing against Taylor, but she IS being incredibly immature. Writing songs: fine. Talking about in on Ellen so extensively and then blogging about it?: Not so much. I understand you're hurt by it..but..you live and you learn.


P.S.: I think Camille is sooo much prettier then Taylor anyway. Taylor is WAY too thin to be pretty. She's all skin and bones!

#20 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:51PM — ronnie

I agree 100% with Yam (#20) haha.

And seriously, to complain that the call was only 27 seconds when you are the one who ended the call, that's a bit hypocritical. Her job is to write songs about her life, not ruin her ex-boyfriend's life.
I doubt that she really "owed it to her fans", I don't follow her that closely but I know that most Jonas fans would agree that none of the Jonas Brothers owes us anything. They give their all day in and day out, and I'm sure Taylor does the same. Her fans don't need any more than that, and to expect inside access to her personal life would be selfish of the fans. Don't get me wrong, Jonas Brothers fans go to rediculous lengths to find any tidbit of information on the boys, but I would never expect them to personally tell us everything about their lives.

Taylor could have been more mature and just told Ellen something like " We're no longer together," and left it at that. Instead, she chose to tell the world, and the whole situation just snowballed.

Whatever, I think it'll be better for both of them once this drama blows over and goes away.

<3 JONAS all the way baby!! (:

#21 — November 16, 2008 @ 17:59PM — Rosie

taylor swift bby..... dont like the jonas brothers never have never will./

#22 — November 16, 2008 @ 18:12PM — Danielle

i think people should just leave taylor swift and joe jonas alone. If any 1 read the jonas brothers blog it said that joe didnt end the fone call someone else did. LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!! do u ppl have anything better to do other then rash on famous ppl. i bet they dont think of u guys as fans if u do that

#23 — November 16, 2008 @ 18:20PM — Liz

Simply put...she made it a public discussion, he did not until forced into a corner.

Anything that happened privately is not our business, and the only wrong we know enough about to judge here is her blabbermouth.

She should keep her feelings in songs. Anything else is tacky.

I used to be on both teams. I've quit hers for now. Team Jonas all the way!

#24 — November 16, 2008 @ 18:23PM — jobrofan

Bottom line Joe jonas is just a kid himself and kids sometimes do dumb things. I am sure when he is older he will realize he should have handled different. We have all been there. The only diffrence is that most of us are not in the public eye. I think they should be left alone!

#25 — November 16, 2008 @ 19:41PM — Brianna

The one thing I love the most about Taylor is she stays true to herself. Whether its a break up with a nobody from high school or with a boy in the public eye, she deals with it the same way. She writes and sings about it. And when shes questioned about it she answers. I absolutely adore her for who she is and honestly think she handles situations the best she can. As for anyone mentioning her doing it for publicity, well thats just comical and laughable at the least. I have nothing against the Jonas Brothers, but lets be serious, they do nothing for Taylor's fame, that she got on her own. And more power to her for having the courage to voice what happened and write songs that express her feelings instead of stupid meaningless songs like most artists.

#26 — November 16, 2008 @ 20:05PM — tray

Taylor forced Joe Jonas to make a statement and defend himself... anybody would in that situation, especially if what was being said wasn't true. It's funny how she hasn't defending herself after his side of the story, but I hope she doesn't because it's time to move on. They dated for what.. 4 months, with hectic schedules on both sides... how much time could they really have spent together?

#27 — November 16, 2008 @ 20:30PM — vicky

um have you ever thought that he could wait till hes in the country to break up with her ? and plus she didnt say anything bad about joe if u actually watched the ellen vid. she didnt just randomly brought him up and dissed him ! ELLEN brought him up ! and taylor was just hes not in my life anymore and was like when i find that person who is right for me i wont even remeber the guy that dumpped me on the phone for 27 secounds when i was 18 thats not immitrure becuase if she didnt put that out there all these press would be asking her about joe and wouldnt that be awkward if they broken up already !

#28 — November 16, 2008 @ 20:54PM — Linda

I couldn't even finish reading this because you got all your facts wrong! First, Camilla Belle is not from the movie Year 3000. She is from the movie 1000 B.C. Year 3000 is a song by the Jonas Brothers. Second, the only person you got your facts from was Taylor Swift. If you actually did a good job you would have heard that Joe said that the only reason the phone calls was that short was because Taylor didn't want to hear it and hung up on him. But I don't blame her b/c if I was losing a guy as amazing as Joe Jonas I would feel like crap too. So next time you write a story get your facts straight first. Thanks.

#29 — November 16, 2008 @ 21:12PM — Tory

#31 I think that your comment is not only biased and rude, it was completely stupid.
Considering the fact that this article was written after Joe took his blog off his myspace (because he is a pussy) how could she have heard his side?
And yes she probably did hang up on him and I always thought that is probably what happened, even before he wrote that blog. But if he only took 25 seconds to say 'sorry it's over' than obviously he's got some jerk issues. I mean what did he do? Just say we're done as soon as she answered. Who does that!!?!?
I am glad that he and Taylor are over. He messed with her so much and then he just broke her heart because he found some other girl. Cause all guys are the same and yeah Jonas Brothers are even worse. Except Kevin, he's the only one I don't mind.
Joe is not amazing, Taylor is. And she did not use this relationship or break up as publicity, she just wanted to go out there and tell her side because that's just who she is--and that's why I love her.
So go buy Taylor's album :)
and forget whoever this other guy is :)

#30 — November 16, 2008 @ 21:19PM — Rach

I couldn't agree with you more.
The jonas brothers' fans are blind and ridiculous and immature!
Both are born in the same year, the girl just handled things maturely and bravely;
while the guy just handled in cowardly. What the poing of the "crafted" piece of blog, there isn't a sense of feeling sorry there. All he knows is to put the blame back to other to save his reputation and image!

#31 — November 16, 2008 @ 22:08PM — Katie

AMEN

#32 — November 16, 2008 @ 22:32PM — HSMluvr

Okay, so it sounds like someone is a little biased toward Taylor here. Which you are not supposed to be in an article.

here is my stance on the whole thing:

WHO CARES!

I love taylor and the JoBros and frankly I could care less

#33 — November 16, 2008 @ 22:34PM — tray

For someone who's so sweet and doesn't deserve to be treated the way she was treated... she sure does have a lot of songs that trash alot of ex-boyfriends. When someone gets dumped as many times as she has and your only 18, maybe you should take a good look at yourself and quit blaming everybody else.

#34 — November 17, 2008 @ 01:56AM — Jillian [URL]

Neither team is at fault...and why the hell are there teams? for starters i dont think it is anyones business for sides to be formed. its childish. people are sticking their noses in where it isnt appreciated. unless joe or taylor have asked your opinion on it, keep the opinions to yourselves.

i was a jonas fan, but it is the fans that ruin it for everyone else. 3 1/2 years i have been one and the childishness is crazy.

GROW UP and find something more interesting to talk about other than who is at fault....

#35 — November 17, 2008 @ 06:04AM — JONAS CRAZYYY (:

I live over in Australia and i still hate taylor swift... she is only trying to get attention.. hello if you read the jonas brothers blog it says...
"A phone call can only be received when the person on the other side wanted to hear what you have to say, if they dont like it they can just hang up"... HELLO SHE HUNG UP SO HOW IS THAT JOE FAULT SHE IS A SELFISH COW THAT NEEDS TO REALLY MOVE ON IN LIFE!!!

good on joe for moving on..

and FYI its 10000 B.C. not Year 3000...
i hateeeeee Taylor Swift and no one can ever change that (: good on joe for dumping her haha

P.S.......Im not crazy or Obsessive ether
dont be so offensive

#36 — November 17, 2008 @ 07:49AM — Krae

You have your facts wrong. I think you should do some more research for both sides of the story. Yes, the Jonas Brothers currently don't have a top 100 song. But they were thought to sell 700,000+ albums in their first week alone. They fell short with over 525,000+ being sold. I realize that you might not have found Joe Jonas' blog replying to all the rumours but you could've also stated that it's not just Jonas fans insulting Taylor. Many Taylor (and Jonas Fans) left some pretty horrible comments on the Jonas Brothers' websites (youtube, myspace, etc...)including death threats. You could have included that. Also Camille Belle was in 10,000 B.C. not Year 3000 (a jonas brothers song). I realize these are all facts about the Jonas brothers but you already have good information on taylor. I'm just trying to balance out your article.
*On a side note I believe that this whole thing was blown out of proportion and the fans should stay out of it.*
** Don't you think it's interesting that we don't feel bad about analyzing the lives of famous people but we'd protest pretty strongly if everyone knew everything about our personal lives?**

#37 — November 17, 2008 @ 08:32AM — TIFFANY

OK I HEARD FROM A FEW RELIABLE SOURCES THAT JOE CALLED TAYLOR TO TALK AND SHE WAS THE ONE TO END THE CALL AFTER ONLY 27 SECONDS. NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT PART OF ALL THIS IS FAKE AND WHICH IS REAL BUT I DO KNOW THAT PPL SHOULDNT CARE WHAT TAYLOR AND JOE DO OR DID AND WHAT JOE IS DOING NOW THEY ARE PPL JUST LIKE US AND THEY DESERVE TO HAVE LIVES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE FAMOUS DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING, IT JUST MEANS THEY HAVE GREAT TALENTS AND THE WORLD ENJOYS HEARING THEM AND THEY GET PAID THATS ALL. SO JUST REALAX BESIDES I NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING THE MAGAZINES OR WEB STORIES ANYWAYS I JUST WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES SAY.

#38 — November 17, 2008 @ 08:40AM — Joanie

Maybe Taylor should have told the truth and she wouldn't be getting so much flack herself.Half truths are just as bad as an all out lie. The phone call ended because she hung up on him. Taylor is acting like a spoiled brat of a teenager, therein lies the difference in how teens act. Joe's a nice guy and people are going to always try to make something small into something horrible. I think I will stick with Joe on this one.

#39 — November 17, 2008 @ 08:48AM — Nick_Jonas_Lover

I think Camilla Belle is sooo stupid, I mean I like Taylor Swift but I can't believe she ended the phone call. +P I mean really, Camilla isn't that pretty... she looks like she has fake eyebrows! my friends agree, BUT I'm not making fun of Taylor. I'm making fun of Camilla, she looks weird and I really hope she would break up with Joe. Really I would break up with a younger man! :( Sorry Jonas Brothers........


#40 — November 17, 2008 @ 10:40AM — Lexi

I am on both Taylor and Joe's side. First of all, I bet it is EXTREMELY hard to be famous and date, especially another famous person. So we have 2 singers who dated and no one, NO ONE, but Taylor and Joe knows why they splitted and the feelings they had for each other. Yes, if I was Taylor I would be heartbroken, but you have no idea how their relationship was and whether or not they got together GREAT.. maybe they had issues and realized they needed to cool things off.. only THEY know. Let them be and stop talking crap about either one of them. I love both the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift. I believe they are all great musicians with wonderful morals.

#41 — November 17, 2008 @ 14:09PM — None

Taylor should handle this more maturly even though Joe did do her wrong for leaving her just to date someone else.

#42 — November 17, 2008 @ 14:10PM — Gen9109

I hate Camilla belle!

#43 — November 17, 2008 @ 15:29PM — Amy

This blog is ridiculous. When your young, you date and break up and that's life. You should take one dating experience and learn from it so that you can use it for your next one. No one should break up with someone over the phone... period. I don't care if it is your lovable Jonas brother. I'm not sure if that is true, but if it is, it wasn't right for him to do that. I don't think that you would like that if you were in Taylor's shoes. Taylor is being a teenager by talking about it to the public. She is hurt. This story just proves that no matter how famous you are, you are still humans and humans make mistakes. All of you girls that are on here saying you hate Taylor and love Joe. It's never going to happen so just be content with your Jonas fan club membership. Remember there are more important things in life than talking about 2 people that you will never meet and will be lining tomorrow's trash cans! This is coming from a New Kid's on the Block generation. You will look back and realize how stupid everybody your age was!

#44 — November 17, 2008 @ 17:10PM — emily

I love Joe so i am glad that he broke up with her i like Taylor in all but she does need to suck it up and move on they can miss each other but Joe seems like he dose not miss her and Taylor does not wont to let it go and she is ugly she puts way to mush make up on! and she needs to grow up1

#45 — November 17, 2008 @ 17:20PM — hi

okay so I am hugeee jb fan, bigger than u can imagine. but I am totally on taylors side for this one. what joe did was redic and I love the song forever and always. it's great. some of taylors best songs come from her breakups

#46 — November 17, 2008 @ 17:44PM — Meghan

No, they're both at fault.
I think Taylor is being a classless twit about this. She's making it seem like Joe called her said, "I'm dumping you." When in fact Miss. Swift hung up on him. She needs to grow up. She's stupid.

#47 — November 17, 2008 @ 18:29PM — Camikins

Taylor IS being classless. She and Joe made this big deal about not putting their private life on blast, but as soon as he dumps her it's all over the media. And did it occur to anyone that the Jonas Brothers were in EUROPE when he broke up with her? "Hmmm, I think I'll go on a 12 hour plane ride back to the U.S.A. to break up with my girlfriend for 15 minutes, and then 12 hours back! yeahhhh." Does this sound logical to you? and besides, I'm not even that big of a Jonas Brothers fan and I'm on their side. And not all teen girls act like that when they get dumped. Instead of Making the guy out to be a HUGE jerk, I kind of cover it up. Pretend it didn't happen.

#48 — November 17, 2008 @ 19:14PM — hi =]

I am a fan of both Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas, and while I love both of them, I do believe that both sides are at fault. True, Joe broke up with her over the phone, but the Jonas Brothers' Myspace blog said something about a phone call can go on only as long as the other person wants to talk. You also have to remember that people asked Taylor about her recent experience; she didn't just randomly bring it up on Ellen and go JOE JONAS BROKE UP WITH ME ON THE PHONE DURING A 27 SECOND CALL.

I think they both need to move on, but Taylor is just answering questions that people ask, while Joe is avoiding the spotlight.

#49 — November 17, 2008 @ 19:24PM — Jordan Richardson

Those Jonas Brothers sure do get around.

#50 — November 17, 2008 @ 19:54PM — ddddd

wow this is written by someone who definitely doesn't like the jonas brothers. joe can do wayyy better than taylor swift.

#51 — November 17, 2008 @ 20:41PM — someone

i think that they shouldnt of broken up

#52 — November 17, 2008 @ 21:16PM — lover

i love taylor AND joe and nobody really knows what exactly happened except them so i love both eof them dearly and wish them the best

#53 — November 18, 2008 @ 01:26AM — Elizabeth

1) Ellen brought up Joe on her show. Taylor did not. Actually watch what happened before saying anything... and it's a comedy show, they made it more of a joke then a real break-up talk.
2) Taylor never once implied that Joe cheated on her. Taylor said that when he met the new girl, he then left Taylor for her... That means he broke up with her for another girl, that does not imply that he cheated.
3) She is acting like any normal teenager would. When my ex broke up with me, and I was her age, I spoke to whoever wanted to hear about it because I WAS HURT! You vent to anyone when you are hurt! Little Jonas fans, one day, when you have a real relationship, instead of obsessing of the Jonas Brothers who will never even know your name, you will do the exact same thing when you get your heart broken some day, and I mean a real heart break, not a 9th grade relationship!
4) Yeah, they were in different places in the country (So we assume, but they could have easily both been in LA or anywhere, we don't know this.) ... but they managed to see eachother every week over the summer and after? (I say this because it was posted everywhere how they randomly showed up at eachother's shows.) So he couldn't bother to wait a week to see her again? If he couldn't wait, that's fine too, but 27 seconds? There isn't even enough time in 27 seconds for him to have asked, "How is your day?" ... That would have taken 27 seconds alone. He cut right to chase instead of being a "gentleman."

I don't hate Joe Jonas, because their relationship wasn't working and so he broke up with her, and to be blunt, I just don't care enough to hate him. I keep updated on this stuff for my cousin, to be able to have conversations with her, because she a normal teenager who is in love with the Jonas Brothers... but HE ALSO could have been more mature about how he broke up with her. No matter what all of you say, 27 seconds is just a disrespectful gesture. No one would want to stay on the phone after being broken up with, so to say "she ended the call"... OF COURSE SHE DID... but maybe if he would have taken the time just to say HI before saying "Hey uh this wont work." ... then it wouldn't have been 27 seconds. And to further try to contact her? WHY?... You broke up with her, you broke her heart, MOVE ON & LET HER TRY AND HEAL. Further contact doesn't allow a girl time to heal.

Have your heart broken, and you'd understand why Taylor acted this way... and it won't bother you, but you'll almost find it humorous and laugh at the memories of when you went through this exactly. I'm just defending Taylor because the poor girl had her heart broken and was handeling this the way most girls do, and just because shes in the public eye, she is getting torn apart

PS: Joe Jonas, when you want to bring some "enlightment" to your fans, try to make it more personal then having your publicist type it for you. Getting their help, of course, you pay them to be there! But it would be more believable that you're a good guy if you seemed sincere & not like a robot in your blog.

Thank you elizabeth! I'm a huge jonas brothers and taylor swift fan, but seriously, 27 secs...I completely agree that taylor is just doing what any other girl would do if she was broken up with in 27 secs over the phone..it doesn't matter who's right bc no one, including joe, denied that that he broke up with her in 27 secs..since taylor became famous, she's always said that if a boy hurts her it's gonna be in a song bc that's what she does..some girls get revenge, Taylor writes songs..I commend her for being real and not being one of those "no comment" celebrities. I ABSOLUTELY love taylor and the jobros, but I definately lost some respect for Joe..this shouldn't matter when it comes to their music though..FEARLESS is AMAZING including the song "forever and always" about joe, and "a little bit longer" is also an AWESOME cd..fans need to learn how to seperate these celebrities' personal lives from their professional lives

tbh; you're acting like you know all about it; did you read Joe's blog? Yeh she hung up on him. I do still like her music but I've lost all respect for her because she's tried to twist the truth and tried to make everyone feel sorry for her!
Yes, I am obsessed with JB and I think it's stupid that you think we're crazy cause we're really not, basically you just slated Joe but you're saying it's wrong for people to slate Taylor :/
Yeh well anyone that agrees or wants to argue...add me!
Love Zoe x

ok this whole thing will blow over and taylor will continue on and make several more cds and become one of the greatest of all time while the jonas brothers make one or two more albums before they fall off the side of the earth just like all the other disney singers out there. taylor has a real career going and it will continue. whats wrong with her telling the truth? all of you were wondering anyways! for it to take 27 seconds he just flat out told her and thats messed up. break it to her slowly or something and try doing it IN PERSON!!!

I do not think that Taylor handeled there break up maturely. I mean maybe things were not going the way Joe wanted them to. Just because Joe broke up with her does not mean that he would never talk to her again. It is Taylor that is acting so inmature. She is going around making videos about them breaking up. How mature is that? ITS NOT!!!!!! Maybe Taylor was not the right girl for Joe.If it was the other way around Joe would understand but she has to be so immature and make videos about him! BABY!!!!

I'm neautral right now. I mean, Joe Jonas, is my celebrity crush. and TAylor Swift is one of my insperations. I mean, it was a little bogus he broke up with her threw the phone. But maybe he didnt want to tell her face-to-face because he might feel bad. But whatever. I mean, Taylor, talking about her break-up in all those talk shows, sorta bogus, its stupid. its just one guy. there are millions of guyz that LOVE you. Just get over it. Teenage relationships dont last forever. When ur an adult, you might find the won. Just leave Taylor alone, and stop talking trash about Joe Jonas. Im not an obesssive fan. But i am a fan. and TORY, love how you wrote ur thought. its awsome. peace out.

If anything Joe handled this the right way. She attacked first might i add on national television. Joe followed up afterwards in a polite manner. It's her fault for not hearing the reason and for not responding to any of his calls. The video was a complete immature move by far. I think it's just petty jealousy on her part. I'm sick of her and the way she's acting complete immaturity

I love Taylor Swift. And personally I dont think it matters how they broke up or why. She was obviously hurt by what happened. Everyone was wandering about it anyway so she just let it out in the open. Joe, on the other hand, obviously had no intention of working things out otherwise he wouldn't have jumped into a new girls arms within such a short period of time. Bottomline we should just let them live their lives and not be so judgemental. We all go through bad breaks ups and it doesn't help when alot of other people get involved. And besides, I can't wait to hear what amazing songs Tay will write about it. Lets face it, when things like this happen she writes more and we all love listening to her new songs. She is an amazing song writer, singer, and an overall really outstanding person. Before you start disliking her, maybe you should find out more about her.

You know, it's so weird how we get so caught up in celebs lives. Ok, it was cool for Taylor to right a song about the breakup, but I feel she didn't need to air things so publicly. And Joe could've let her down softer, cause if she hung up after 27secs, he must have been quite brutal. I am an obsessive JB fan, but if we judge the celebs, we gotta look at both sides. If you just judge on who you like, then you might as well stay out of it. Coz honestly, what's the point of passing a comment when you're so obviously biased. Taylor, stay strong. Joe, watch yourself baby boy, be careful how you say things.
