The crowd exploded during the performance as Joe revealed he and Demi hadn’t performed the track for “almost 10 years.” Demi added, it “might have been longer.”
The first Camp Rock film debuted in 2008 and was a Disney Channel smash. The follow up aired in 2010.
Joe played pop star Shane Gray in the film, Lovato was Mitchie Torres, and Kevin and Nick portrayed Jason and Nate of the band Connect Three. Per Business Insider, Camp Rock remains the third most-watched Disney Channel Original Movie, following High School Musical 2 and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.
Joe and Demi started dating in 2010 after filming Camp Rock 2. Although their relationship lasted only a few months, it left a lasting impression on their fans.
Joe married actress Sophie Turner in 2019 and finalized their divorce in 2024. Demi tied the knot with Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in May 2025.
The JONAS20 Greetings From Your Hometown Tour is a celebration of the Jonas Brothers’ 20-year career, spanning both their group and solo chapters. The tour will continue with more than 50 stops across the United States until November 2025.
