On November 21, 2024, Taylor Swift performed on stage in Toronto during the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour. In a heartfelt and unexpected moment, Swift delivered an acoustic medley of two chart-topping tracks of hers.

Subsequently, fans took to social media to express their excitement about the same while also speculating on the motive behind the mashup, with many suggesting that it was a Joe Jonas special because of their short-lived romance.

"THE JOE JONAS SPECIAL."

"Mr. perfectly fine x better than revenge she really said tonight we cook joe jonas," one user commented.

"Joe jonas getting cooked on a random thursday night is my idea of entertainment," another mentioned.

"Love that taylor's taking the time to whack joe jonas tonight," a third user added.

"Can someone check on Joe Jonas, idk if he’s gonna survive this mashup," an X user commented.

"Taylor really said Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle you are nothing," another netizen remarked.

"Me liking every post about that anti Joe Jonas mashup," a user stated.

As of now, neither Taylor Swift nor Joe Jonas have responded to the online commentary, and Jonas has not issued any statements regarding the mashup.
