Joe Jonas (July-October 2008)
Swift’s first major public relationship was with then-Disney Channel heartthrob Joe Jonas, whom she dated for four months between July and October 2008. The details of their relationship are minimal, barred to some cute photos of them at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and a couple of tracks, namely “Forever & Always” and “Mr. Perfectly Fine.” Both songs appear on Swift’s second studio album Fearless, which she released a month after they split.
The record-breaking songstress more or less confirmed she did indeed write “Forever & Always” about the “Burnin’ Up” singer during an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. “Someday, I’m gonna find somebody really, really, really great, who’s right for me,” she shared. “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.”
