Gyllenhaal is reputed to be the subject of a song on Red (Taylor’s Version), the second in a series of album re-recordings by Swift.
The re-release of a song by Taylor Swift about an ill-fated relationship has spurred a lively internet response among those who saw it as a way for the singer to settle a few scores with the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. The couple w ere together for three months from October 2010 and he was believed to be the subject of some of the lyrics on her fourth studio album Red that came out in 2012 Fans have speculated that the age gap between the couple — Swift was 20 and Gyllenhaal was 29, was one of the main reasons for their split. On Friday, Swift re-released the album, now titled “Red (Taylor’s Version)” which contains six previously unheard songs written at the same time as the original album which was released in 2012.
