Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas at 2008 MTV Music Awards

During an interview with Ryan Secrest, Taylor Swift implied that one of the reasons that led to her break up with Joe Jonas was his management’s influence on his personal life. From what I have read, the Jonas Brothers are managed by Johnny Wright. Nonetheless, I can’t help but think his management is essentially their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., a co-founder of Christ For The Nation’s Music and a pastor at their local church in Wyckoff, N.J.

In Swift’s interview with Secrest, when asked what she is looking for in a boyfriend, she said, “If someone doesn’t think my sense of humor is funny, that can be a wrong match.”

“If they’re not allowed to go in public with me [because their management feels they're too much of a sex symbol] … that’s an issue too.”

I definitely believe what Swift is saying is true. It actually took me a little bit of time to find a photo of the couple together. I really think there is only one or two circulating on the Internet.

What I cannot believe is that a 19 year old Joe Jonas would actually follow his management’s advice. I guess it’s just because I didn’t listen to my mom at all about personal relationships. I suppose I am just skeptical how someone his age could be so obedient to such advice. He’s 19 years old!!!

Also, it seems slightly hypocritical since Joe Jonas is somewhat of a sex symbol himself. Let’s put it this way, you do not see teenage boys screaming for him. You can put him in the “teen heart throb” status, but that’s still pretty much a sex symbol.
