- In an Esquire digital cover published Oct. 20, Joe Jonas said he has heard “some” of Taylor Swift’s new album and called her “the biggest artist out there,” noting “catchy melodies.”
- Jonas did not address online comparisons between the album’s title track and the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 single “Cool,” and a briefly listed Genius interpolation credit has since been removed with no confirmation of any interpolation.
- Released Oct. 3, The Life of a Showgirl logged a blockbuster debut, taking the top 12 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week and opening at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with more than 4 million equivalent units.
- Swift has acknowledged the polarized reactions and told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that she “welcomes the chaos,” framing the discourse as part of show business.
- Jonas also discussed his current life on tour, saying a heavy schedule limits his dating and that he is not on traditional dating apps.
