Taylor Swift dishes on Joe Jonas for breakup by phone

November 6, 2008 | 12:19 pm

Tayloronellen300 Taylor Swift spent a good chunk of time earlier this year insisting that she and Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers were just good friends, despite her popping in as a musical guest during some of their concerts.

Turns out there was more to it, but it didn’t wind up with a fairytale ending like the one in her recent “Love Story” single and video.

The 18-year-old singing and songwriting phenom is being feted Tuesday, the release date for her second album, “Fearless,” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” In the course of her discussion with host Ellen DeGeneres, she talks about her recent breakup with Jonas, which she said took place over the phone.

“It’s all right, I’m cool,” Swift says, sounding as though she's shedding few teardrops on her guitar over this one. “You know what? It’s like, when I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18… It was like a record, I think. For how quick. I looked at the call log, it was like 27 seconds… That’s an ouch.”

DeGeneres takes a bit of the sting away during the show, treating Swift to a surprise appearance by Justin Timberlake.

Meanwhile, Swift has had to combat a false report making its way across the Internet that she's pregnant.

It’s "impossible, and....impossible," she has told Access Hollywood. "It's so crazy when you spend your entire life and all of your energy trying to be a good person and trying to be a good role model and trying to make the right decision and you make the right decisions and you make the right choices and people make things up about you. It’s a little offensive, actually.”

Haha, she's a loser.

Wow. I am surprised Jo would do something like that... But I guess things happen for a reason... :)

WOW!!!! Joe Jonas is my Idol and I never thought he would do somthing like that!!! I'm so sorry Taylor...

that is stupid no body breaks up with a popstar or even anybody over the phone

27 SECONDS!?
aw poor taylor "/
i love joe though, but daaangg :|

Shes acting like a SPOILED CHILD, get over it and act your age, you went out for a total of five months, you live on the other side of the county, so what he broke up with her over the phone. There is no excuse for blabbing your mouth now, there are two sides to every story, JOE IS TO MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN, to start dishing. At least TAYLOR NOW WE KNOW WHY HE BROKE UP WITH YOU, just move on an get over it.

I thought the whole thing was funny, sorry Taylor. But when you think about maybe Joe had no choice but to do it by phone, because he travels all over the country and maybe couldn't meet her in person.

what an idiot

Sorry Taylor.......
JOE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Joe Jonas and Tayklor Swift and I really don't know what happened
You know, I think there must have been some kind of explanation for the phone.
Joe is not that kind of guy that's what I can confirm.
As far as Taylor, I'm really sorry. but she is a sweetheart and she is gorgeous.
So sh could get anyone!
Keep looking Taylor baby :)
You'll get him <3

taylor is amazing, joe is a jerk, calling her a baby is totally unreasonable, and she is acting her age! Actually, shes acting more mature than her age, so shut up taylor hater!

It's pretty funny that these people think they know joe jonas personally and know what kind of person he is behind closed doors. I'm sure you can all speak for Joe and know his heart.... Sike!

Who cares if he's busy... When you make a decision like that be a man and say it to her face.

So to all those people who know Joe personally please fill me in on the rest of his life and manors!!!!!!

Yea I agree Wid Lauren . Ofcourse thr mst b sum reason fr breakin up on da phone, Duh!.. get ovr hm taylor.. m sure joe ix ovr yu too!! so y waste tym?

I love Taylor Swift! Joe Jonas used to be one of my top celebrities until I heard about this a while ago! This was a stupid thing to do on Joe's part. Taylor is so amazing and is a great role model to kids everywhere.......and about the rumor, it is totally fake! The picture that was stated as the "proof" that said she was pregnant was terribly photoshopped! I support Taylor Swift and look up to her 100%

im really am in a shock nw. wat the hack is joe thinking of? break up on the phone? tts totally not common sense to me. n he took 2seven secs? omg! im so sorry taylor. i hv to say tt i really am looking upon joe coz he kinda of a good boy looking to me. but i guess its wrong of me. haish.. even though he's bz,he shld take some tyme to really talked to taylor y he insist of breaking up. tts kind of rude to me breaking up on the phone for 2seven secs.

Hey, I'm glad he broke up with Taylor, and they weren't right, I love the Jonas Brothers, Nick's my favorite, but I like Taylor's Music! Sorry but what I said is all true!

okay i don't get why shes making a big deal about this, he broke up with her over the phone because she wasnt worth chasing. BIG DEAL get over it, its life MOVE ON! i mean seriously four months he;s on tour and he doesnt have time.
i just had to get that out of my system.

Sad story...

joe and tayler should be together 4 ever

it would have been worse if he had flew over to her 'hey taylor i'm breaking up with u. goodbye" and flys back 2 where ever he was but ya i dont know where joe and taylor were when joe called her. but if they were far away calling is better than that!

I think Joe is a great guy and I think we will never hurt girls hearts . I love Joe and he is so cute and Taylor you are cool too .But , keep it to yourself about your break-up and stop speading rumors and about your relationship. Joe you made the right decision because you deserve someone better .

i think we all go through hard times and maybe joe wasn't the guy for taylor but i think its really great how she plays it cool butttttttt, it is kinda harsh joe jonas broke up with her by phone i mean wow i didn't think he acutally do dat guys theyre all the same

i can't belaeve that someone would break up with a popstar

I feel disapointed in Joe. That is like the worst breaking up with someone over the phone.

Tyalor is an amazing girl i love all her songs she is the best role model ever and you taylor haters back off i bet you would be sad if someone just broke up with and she is buzy to so dont say joe had no time taylor is as buzy as him and would be more stand up about it. Joe is not nice and not even cute nor any other jb. Taylor is the best so back off and get a life. come those rummers were lies and big fat ones at that. I am so sorry tayor, just write a song about it and get over him he isnt even nice.
