Sophie Turner has just made what might be the most iconic move of 2023. In an apparent nod to her recent separation from Joe Jonas, which was announced earlier this month, Sophie stepped out with none other than his most famous ex — the queen of pop herself, Taylor Swift.
Sophie and Taylor, also (fairly) recently out of a long-term relationship with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, were spotted in New York City on what appeared to be a night out on the town. The two women, free of their respective Joes, linked arms as they strolled down the streets of NYC – Taylor in a long denim coat while Sophie was dressed for revenge in a sparkly crop top.
After meeting in 2016, Sophie and Joe married in 2019. She was 23 at the time, Joe 29.
As for Taylor, she dated Joe Jonas back in 2008. Although their relationship was brief, it has become a key element of the Taylor Swift lore. As every Swiftie knows, Joe infamously broke the young Taylor’s heart over voicemail. Naturally, she wrote about it. There are allegedly six Joe Jonas-inspired break up songs in her catalogue, including Forever & Always, Mr. Perfectly Fine and Better Than Revenge.

Although Sophie and Joe ended up getting married, that didn’t stop the Game of Thrones actress from being, first and foremost, a Swiftie. In fact, two years ago, when Taylor dropped a few tracks ‘from the vault’ with her re-release of her 2008 album Fearless, Sophie took to Instagram to confirm that, yes, she was listening, and yes, she totally took Taylor’s side. “It’s not NOT a bop,” Sophie wrote at the time.
Naturally, fans are obsessed with the Taylor and Sophie’s ongoing friendship, and their frankly iconic decision to appear in public together following the news of the Sophie-Joe divorce.
