Did Joe Jonas Just Comment on the Similarities Between Taylor Swift’s New Song and the Jonas Brothers’ Music?
Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift broke up close to two decades ago, but the connection between them is back in the news. After Swift released her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, people quickly pointed out that the titular track sounds a lot like one of her ex-boyfriend’s songs. While the Jonas Brothers have not directly commented on the similarities, Jonas did share his thoughts on the album, possibly addressing the rumors in the process.
Joe Jonas shared his thoughts on Taylor Swift’s new album
After the release of The Life of a Showgirl, fans have pointed out that some songs sound a lot like other hits. “Wood,” for example, sounds remarkably similar to “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5. People also noted that “The Life of a Showgirl” sounds a lot like “Cool” by the Jonas Brothers.
In a recent interview, Jonas shared his diplomatic opinion on his ex-girlfriend’s album.
“I’ve heard some of it,” he told Esquire. “I think she’s obviously the biggest artist out there, and I think it’s good.”
He then appeared to reference the similarities between the melodies of “Cool” and “The Life of a Showgirl.”
“Everybody’s got an opinion about it,” he said, “but from what I’ve heard, there are some catchy melodies.”
While many people have wondered if the band will seek credit on the song, sources claim that they worry about going head-to-head with Swift (via Yahoo!). This may be the only time we hear Jonas speak about Swift’s latest album.
