Who wouldn’t know Taylor Swift! The pop icon has been setting the industry ablaze for more than the past decade, earning herself a reputation for being one of the most bankable performers out there. The Lover singer has lit the figurative stage alight time and again.

You don’t break so many records in the music world, overtaking greats like Elvis Presley when it comes to spending most weeks spent No. 1 on the Billboard album chart as a solo artist, without being that good. But our favorite star has made many mistakes along the way, including the time when she put Joe Jonas to shame on national television.

Taylor Swift did something in her teens that was “too much”

Taylor Swift regrets acting impulsively

Taylor Swift started young, releasing her first album (which was also named Taylor Swift) in 2006 when she was just a teen. Her song, Tim McGraw, set in course a streak of events that would make her a part of the elite circle of the music industry.

She was just a teen back then. And as we all know, teens have a penchant for making mistakes. The Look What You Made Me Do singer was no different. Years later, Swift had the chance to introspect on the mistakes that she made in those days.

The year is 2019. Taylor Swift finds herself on the sets of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, a show where she’s had some uncomfortable moments before. But the times had changed. So had she. Talk show host Ellen asked her what was the “most rebellious thing that she had done as a teenager”. She couldn’t help but remember another evening on the same set.

Answering the question, the Cardigan singer revealed that one of her most rebellious teenage moments was putting her ex at the time, Joe Jonas, on blast all the way back in 2008 leaving everyone in the studio, including the 65-year-old host, shocked.

Taylor Swift revealed how Joe Jonas left her

Back in 2008, a young Taylor Swift was not one to hold back when DeGeneres showed her a photo of herself along with her then ex-Joe Jonas. Tearing into the Sucker singer. On seeing their picture, she said, “It’s all right. I’m cool.”

She wasn’t. The 34-year-old continued,

“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 going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.” (The Ellen DeGeneres Show)
No one could contain themselves after this bombshell of a reveal. A decade down the line, the Grammy winner regretted her actions, saying,
“That was too much. Yeah, that was too much. I was 18. We laugh about it now. That was mouthy, yeah, teenage stuff there.”
Even Joe Jonas seems to have moved on. None of them are 18-year-olds now after all.

Manchester United are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Leny Yoro.

Leny Yoro’s stats have been compared to Liverpool star Jarell Quansah ahead of his move to Manchester United.

Over the last few weeks, young defender Yoro has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and United.

Although it was first thought that the Frenchman preferred a move to Madrid, it was reported on Wednesday that United were closing in on the deal to sign the 18-year-old.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media: “Leny Yoro to Manchester United, here we go! Deal in place after first part of medical completed.

“More tests to follow then he’s ready to sign five year deal valid until June 2029. Lille and Man United have all documents set for deal worth €50m plus several add-ons.”

Ahead of Yoro’s move to Old Trafford, his stats from the 23/24 season have been compared with highly-rated Liverpool defender Quansah.

The 21-year-old Englishman enjoyed a breakout season under Jurgen Klopp, often partnering Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool defence.

According to Squawka, Yoro had a better passing accuracy of 92.16% compared to Quansah’s 88.76%.

However, Quansah came out on top in terms of the number of forward passes, aerial duels won, aerial duel success and ground duels won.

Quansah also made more ball recoveries than Yoro, 5.5 compared to 4.2.

Yoro is set to be United’s second transfer of the summer after successfully signing Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee.

Speaking in his first interview with the club, Zirkzee said: “I have a lot of trust and a good feeling about this step. It wasn't a difficult decision. I mean, I love Bologna a lot, but Manchester United just gave me a very, very good feeling.

“I'm confident that what's planned will also happen. It's been a rollercoaster, the past few weeks. Some very good experiences and I'm very happy to be here. Obviously, making a transfer to Manchester United is something very positive.”
