But there was a time when Sophie and her friends really hated the Jonas Brothers. In an interview for Elle in 2020, the 27-year-old actress candidly revealed why she and her friends despised the American band, Jonas Brothers. She said:
"My friends and I were not Jonas Brothers fans. There was this band in the UK called Busted. They had a hit called 'Year 3000.' It was amazing, and we were huge Busted fans. Then the Jonas Brothers covered the song and made it massive. And Busted broke up. We thought it was all the Jonas Brothers' fault. So, we hated them."
Sophie Turner recalled working on a movie in 2016 with a producer who had previously lived next door to the Jonas Brothers. He told her to meet Joe Jonas as he thought they would really get along.
