We love a full-circle moment just as much as pop culture nostalgia that hits like a time machine โ which is why weโre still buzzing about the Jonas Brothersโ tour opener at MetLife Stadium, where a surprise reunion with Demi Lovato turned back the clock. The impromptu Camp Rock revival saw former Disney stars-turned-exes sharing the stage in a joy-filled, song-stacked comeback that left fans wondering: Is this 2008 or 2025?
What Unfolded At The Jonas20 Tour Kickoff?
Joe Jonas (the sincere heartthrob) and Demi Lovato (the powerhouse vocalist) revived their iconic Camp Rock chemistry in a nostalgia-soaked showstopper. Clips from the Disney films flashed across jumbotrons as Joe admitted their dad had โfinagledโ roles for all three brothers in the 2008 movie. Then came the surprise: Demi stepped out to join Joe for โThis Is Meโ โ their first performance of the anthem in over a decade.
But the real spark? Their duet of โWouldnโt Change a Thingโ โ a song they famously performedย during their 2010 breakup era. This time, smiles replaced stiffness; lighthearted energy eclipsed past awkwardness. The fraught air of their post-split sequel press tour melted into sheer joy, with fans screaming lyrics word-for-word as if theyโd never left their childhood bedrooms.

When The Script Gets A Second Act
The reunion spilled offstage into viral gold. In true Gen-Z-meets-Millennial fashion, Demi and Joe lip-synced to Debby Ryanโs iconic โI wanna make historyโ monologue โ a sly wink to their own pop culture footprint. Demi later called the moment โfor the history booksโ on TikTok, locking it in as a generational touchstone for anyone who grew up on final jams.
The real hook? While Demiโs new dance-pop era (โCamp Pop?โ) promises breezy, feel-good tracks, this surprise Camp Rock chapter offered something richer: proof that time can turn messy histories into moments of genuine joy. As one fan perfectly tweeted: โOn behalf of zillennials everywhere โ thank you for healing our inner Disney kids.โ
Final question: If exes singing bops with grins can go viral in 2025โฆ what other throwback bombshells will this summer of reunited icons deliver?
