All the evidence behind a Taylor Swift-Jonas Brothers collaboration

Another day, another Taylor Swift fantasy – and we really hope this is true. It all started on September 29, when Nick Jonas uploaded a rather chaotic video to TikTok that contained an error reminiscent of the one seen in Taylor’s “Wildest Dreams” TikTok. Eventually, the Swifties know there are no coincidences when it comes to the Taylorverse, so fans immediately became suspicious that this could be a sign of a potential collaboration between Taylor and the Jonas Brothers.

Later that day, Nick uploaded another TikTok which responded to a comment asking who edited the previous video while Taylor’s singing “ME!” played in the background, which draws an even greater connection to the singer. In the video, Nick takes a bite of a slice of pizza, another familiar symbol of the Taylor Swift fandom. Taylor himself became involved by commenting on Nick’s video “iconic”, followed by the pizza emoji.

So what does it all mean, and what the hell is there with all this pizza? Ever since Swift appeared Stephen Colbert earlier this year, fans linked Taylor’s emphasis on pizza during the interview for her album 1989. It may seem like a bit of a stretch, but Taylor mentions the importance of the pizza slice several times while talking to Colbert, and quickly brings up her album. 1989, which she associates with a job Colbert had at a pizza-serving Italian restaurant that year. Her single “Style” from 1989 was also released on National Pizza Day in 2015, and her secret album listening sessions became known as “pizza parties.” Now fans are pointing out that Taylor’s next album, Red (Taylor version) is set to be released on November 12, which is National Pizza Day this year.

Nick fully enjoys the chaos he created, uploading another TikTok on September 30, which included a screenshot from the gossip Instagram account @deuxmoi that says “collaboration. Jonas brothers x taylor swift,” along with a caption that said, “what is this collaborative rumor all about? For the record .. here for it.”

Joe Jonas, who infamously dated Taylor in 2008, also took part in the fun. First, he uploaded a series of photos to Instagram with the caption “searching for * pizza emoji *” on September 30th. Then on October 5, he uploaded a TikTok with the caption “Maybe I should have said no to this.” Once again, this caption set off the alarm bells for the Swifties, who know all too well that Taylor has a song on her debut album called “Should’ve Said No”, which she even once performed with Jonas Brothers in 2009.

This effect is so cool. Also … what is this collaborative rumor about? For the record … here for that. @jonasbrothers #foryoupage #taylorswift #collab

The boys kept the speculation train running into November. On November 13, Joe participated in Swift’s footage Saturday Night Live with his wife, Sophie Turner, in tow. Then, on November 18, Nick uploaded a TikTok video where he flipped through an unapproved book called The ultimate guide for Nick Jonas. At several points, he stopped and gave a little extra love to pages where Jonas Brothers hung out with Swift. “Okay, but you mention Taylor Swift makes me think this is now an Easter egg and idk how to live again,” one fan wrote in the comments. Check TikTok ahead.

Long time ago. Here’s something fun. #foryoupage @jonasbrothers

Between the bug, the song references, and all the pizza emoji, it definitely looks like something’s going on between Taylor and Jonas Brothers. Whether it’s a collaboration (please, please, please!) Or they’re just messing with us, we’ll have to wait and see. We have already Red (Taylor version) the tracklist and knows that Jonas Brothers is not on it, but there is still hope for future remakes. Pizza1989 connection makes fans think that all these tracks may have something to do with the upcoming album re-release.

Fans are used to seeing through the endless tracks that Taylor comes up with on upcoming projects, and it’s not uncommon for her to get other celebrities involved in the action. But a joint effort between Taylor and JoBros is certainly unexpected. Things did not end quite well between Joe and Taylor at the time, and Joe is referenced across several Taylor albums – “Forever and Always” on Fearless, “Better than revenge” on Speak now, “Holy Ground” on Red, and “invisible string” on Folklore. When Taylor released Fearless (Taylor’s version), The Swifties even got another song from the vault about Joe called “Mr. Perfectly Fine,” which Joe’s wife Sophie Turner (who happens to be a mega Swiftie herself) called “not NOT a bop.”

So much has changed since Joe infamously dumped Taylor over voicemail when they were 18. In her song “Invisible String” she sings “Cold was the steel of my ax to grind / For the boys who broke my heart / Now I send their babies gifts “about Joe. Now it looks like she’s trolling fans with him too.
