There was once seemingly hard feelings between Taylor Swift and her ex Joe Jonas, but they're finally in a sweet spot now that they're older and in their own thriving relationships. If you needed any more proof of that, then you need to check out the video of Joe putting his own spin on Taylor Swift's song, "Lover." Though Nick was too into his phone to appreciate his brother's sweet vocals, Joe serenaded Nick as he sang, "You're my, my, my, my...brother," switching up the lyrics to the song, which actually say "lover."

Joe and Taylor dated for a few months back in 2008, but their breakup was a little messy to say the least. Joe supposedly broke up with Taylor through a phone call that lasted only about "27 seconds." Taylor ended up calling Joe out when she appeared on Ellen Degeneres' show to talk about her new album at the time, Fearless.

Referring to the song, "Always and Forever," Taylor said "There’s one [song] that’s about [Joe], but that guy’s not in my life anymore unfortunately,” she said at the time. “You know what, it’s like, when I find that person that is right for me, and 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."

But earlier this year, more than ten years later, Taylor went back on Ellen and apologized. "That was too much. Yeah, that was too much. I was 18. We laugh about it now, but that was mouthy, yeah, just teenage stuff there.”

In an interview with Lorraine, Joe later said he appreciated Taylor's apology. "[The breakup] It’s something that I probably was feeling pretty bad about when I was younger, but at the end of the day, like I’ve moved on. I’m sure Taylor’s moved on, and it feels nice, and we’re all friends, and it’s all good. We were so young," he said.

And clearly they have moved on and judging by Joe's remix of "Lover," a collab wouldn't sound half bad.
