Fans caught on when Swift replaced her soulmate song, “Invisible String,” with a heartbreak anthem, “The 1,” on the Eras Tour setlist

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez

The details of their situation remain uncertain, adding a layer of intrigue to the status of their relationship.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

Rumors about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s separation emerged on September 1 when Jonas filed for divorce, citing the marriage as “irretrievably broken.” Despite a joint statement on September 6, suggesting an amicable decision, new details surfaced. After a night with Taylor Swift on September 19, Turner filed a lawsuit on September 21, alleging wrongful retention of their two children. Turner learned about the divorce publicly on September 1.

While the separation is confirmed, the reasons behind their decision to part ways remain undisclosed.
