Joe Jonas revealed Friday that he once had to make a quick change during a concert because he "s---" his pants on stage.  The Jonas Brothers band member made the revelation on the Will & Woody podcast after he was asked about something he hadn't previously told the media.  After thinking for a minute, the "Cake by the Ocean" singer said that he was discussing with some friends the other day that "there is a point in your life where, as an adult, you can remember the last time you s--- your pants." The incident in question happened around four years ago during an unspecified concert.  "Let’s just say it was a bad day to choose to wear white clothing," the 33-year-old father of two joked, kidding that he’d been able to "work through it" with "a lot of therapy." While performing, he said he felt what "might have been a little toot, it might have been a little something else, a little something extra," which is when he said he had to make a "mid-wardrobe s--- change during the set." The "Waffle House" singer suggested a determined person could go into the archives of his shows and find the "wardrobe change halfway through the show and it was maybe a little bit like, ‘Oh, that was an interesting choice to change clothes that quickly.'"  He emphasized it was a story he has "never told and that’s just real life!"  Jonas added, "The whole time I thought somebody is definitely going to be able to see this and know what’s happening.They’re going to realize – but it was definitely all in my head. You know what I mean? It wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought.

John Mayer is seeing it all now that his ex Taylor Swift has rereleased her 2010 album, Speak Now.

.The 2010 song is one of the most controversial of Swift's career, with lyrics that people have called for years. As the song has aged, however, it's also developed a culty appreciation, the kind of song you scream-sing at karaoke with a winking admission that it's kind of f*cked up. (See also: Paramore's “Misery Business.") Of course the song is petty with some low blows to its subject, but Swift was also writing from the raw emotional minefield of teenagedom.“I was 18 when I wrote that,” she told back in 2014.

Taylor Swift has re-written a problematic lyric on ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’.The pop star released the re-recording of her 2010 third album today (July 7) as she continues to recreate her first six records after the controversial sales of her masters in recent years.It follows on from ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ and ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’, both of which came out in 2021.On the track ‘Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version)’, the singer has changed a line from the original song that had been interpreted by some as being “anti-feminist” and having a slut-shaming message.“She’s an actress, whoa/ She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa,” Swift sings on the 2010 version of the song. However, the updated ‘Better Than Revenge’ lyric goes: “She’s an actress, whoa/ He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.”The track is rumoured to have been inspired by Swift’s ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and his post-Swift girlfriend, actress Camilla Belle.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Leading into the release of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” one of the hottest topics of speculation among Taylor Swift fans and observers was whether she might change a specific line in “Better Than Revenge” that some felt had not dated well since the original recording came out in 2010. The conjecture was on point: She indeed rewrote the lyric in question for the 2023 version. For the last 13 years, a particularly quotable diss line stood as: “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.” In “Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version),” the line has been rewritten to: “He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches.”
