Sophie Turner Throws Shade at Joe Jonas With Her Friendship Bracelet, and I'm Inspired

As if celebrity breakups aren't chaotic enough, Sophie Turner has made a pointed statement with the most unexpected fashion accessory amid her impending divorce from Joe Jonas. On Oct. 8, in a now-expired Instagram Story, the "Game of Thrones" actress showed the world her strong allegiance to superstar best friend Taylor Swift with a picture of a friendship bracelet that read "Fearless." In this case, the word is far from a mere adjective, but also the name of Swift's 2008 album and the cult-favorite song that discusses the ideal "best first date," which is the total opposite of Turner's situation and perhaps a presumptuous tactic to add fuel to an already-blazing fire.

Friendship bracelets, no longer a thing of the past, have made a comeback, thanks to Swift, with a slight departure from their intended meaning. Initially used as a symbol to honor the time, energy, and love put into a beautiful relationship, Swifties have rocked the nostalgic piece to chronicle moments at Swift's successful Eras tour, and fans of Beyoncé and the Jonas Brothers have followed suit. Meanwhile, Turner used the accessory to quietly shade her soon-to-be ex, not just on this occasion, but even at a Jonas Brothers concert in August, where she sported a bracelet that read "Mr. Perfectly Fine," another one of Swift's signature breakup anthems allegedly about Jonas — and one that also featured as a vault track on "Fearless (Taylor's Version)."

It seems that since the divorce, the "Speak Now" artist and the actress have grown increasingly close, with their friendship having started in 2019, ironically around the time that Jonas and Turner got married. And since news broke of the couple's split in September, the actor has reportedly been living in Swift's New York City apartment with her two daughters, according to ET. Swift and Turner have also embarked on many dinner dates in casual ensembles, including Turner's Jake Shane TikTok sweatshirt and Swift's Reformation knit dress and boots combination.

While Swift and Turner appear to stay positive when photographed, considering the circumstances, it's quite the statement to turn the idea of a friendship bracelet on its head, as Turner so candidly did with her post — don't you think?
