Joe Jonas <\/a>is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift’<\/a>s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard some of it,\u201d Jonas, 36, told Esquire<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI think she\u2019s obviously the biggest artist out there.”<\/p>\nJonas had praise for Swift’s 12th studio album, adding, “I think it\u2019s good. Everybody\u2019s got an opinion about it, but from what I\u2019ve heard, there are some catchy melodies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> dropped on Oct. 3, and saw her reunited with reputation<\/em> hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback as producers.<\/p>\nJonas 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<\/em> and Speak Now<\/em> era hits reference Jonas, from “Forever and Always” and “Mr. Perfectly Fine” to “Better Than Revenge.”<\/p>\nFollowing the breakup, Swift famously said on The Ellen Show<\/em><\/a>, “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.”<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\nBilly Kidd<\/p>\n

In the years since, Swift notably befriended Jonas’ ex-wife Sophie Turner.<\/a> In 2020, fans speculated that a line from Swift’s folklore<\/em> track “invisible string” referenced Jonas \u2014 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.<\/p>\nJonas and Turner, 29, divorced in September 2024. Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage from Turner<\/a>\u00a0on Sept. 5, 2023. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the filing claimed “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” A judge\u00a0granted the divorce<\/a>\u00a0one year later.
