Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas' Relationship: A Look Back

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas are still on good terms following their short-lived romance in 2008.

The two started dating under the radar for a few months in the summer of 2008, when the "Love Story" singer hit the stage with the Jonas Brothers for a handful of concerts during their Burnin' Up Tour.

However, their relationship made headlines when Swift publicly addressed their split on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, notably calling out how Jonas broke up with her in a 25-second phone call.

Though the aftermath was rocky (both wrote fairly pointed breakup songs about each other), the two musicians have developed a friendship in recent years, mingling at award shows and supporting each other's music careers.

Jonas' wife Sophie Turner is a huge Swiftie herself — and when Taylor released a Fearless (Taylor's Version) vault track called "Mr. Perfectly Fine" seemingly about her split with Jonas, Turner hilariously showed her support for Team Taylor.

From their early beginnings to their friendship now, here's a look back at Swift and Jonas' relationship.

The two first sparked romance rumors in July 2008, though they denied they were a couple at the time. "We're all friends," Swift told PEOPLE at the time. "He's an amazing guy and anybody would be lucky to be dating him."

Jonas echoed those same sentiments when Ryan Seacrest inquired about their relationship status, saying, "She's a great girl … I think anybody would love to go on a date with her."

Speculation about their relationship went into overdrive when they sat together at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2008. Swift also notably performed with the Jonas Brothers during their Burnin' Up Tour, which was later featured in their 3D movie, Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience.

"It's been tough," she said of their breakup during an appearance on KIIS-FM. "You just have to try to realize someday you'll find someone that's right for you."

"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 gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18."

Swift continued to poke fun at the breakup on her Myspace page, posting a vlog that showed her holding up a Joe Jonas doll. "See, this one even comes with a phone. So he can break up with other dolls," she joked to the camera.

Following Swift's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jonas took to his own Myspace page to address his breakup with Swift as well as his new relationship with actress Camilla Belle.

"Several things I will state with all my heart," he wrote at the time. "I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me."

He then addressed the infamous phone call Swift had previously mentioned. "For those who have expressed concern over the '27 second' phone call, I called to discuss feelings with the other person," he continued. "Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk."
