Jake Gyllenhaal is silent. So far, the Hollywood actor has not commented on the recent debate, which is making him one of the main topics on social networks and numerous US reports. It really cannot be said that there is no interest in his version of the story. Only his sister (and fellow actor) Maggie Gyllenhaal has spoken publicly about the case so far, but more on that later.
The trigger for the debate that flared up again is Taylor Swift's new album. Strictly speaking, it's not that new either. The popular US singer re-recorded her album »Red« from 2012 and released it last Friday with the subtitle »Taylor's Version« (you can find out more about the background here). Among them is the single "All Too Well". In the original version, the song is almost five and a half minutes long. In the more recent version, Swift has increased it to about ten minutes. At the same time she released a short film based on the song under the same title. Swift is the director, producer, and screenwriter of the film.
The song begins with the following words: »I walked through the door with you, the air was cold, but something about it felt like home somehow, and I left my scarf there at your sister's house, and you've still got it in your drawer, even now. ”That means roughly: She left her scarf in his sister's house on a cold day - and even today it's in one of his drawers.
Now the fans of the singer, the so-called Swifties, are puzzling once more: Who is in possession of Taylor's scarf?
The most popular theory is: Jake Gyllenhaal.
Swift is famous for singing about her personal life and past partners in her songs.
"Red" is about an older man who broke her heart when she was 21 years old.
Rumor has it that this is the Hollywood actor.
Gyllenhaal and Swift were briefly in 2010.
Swift has never officially confirmed that she sings about Gyllenhaal on "All Too Well".
But the rumors are extremely persistent.
Since the release of the new "Red" album, Gyllenhaal has been bombarded with inquiries.
Swift's fans want to know: where's the scarf?
And why didn't he return it?
Gyllenhaal's sister had to comment on the subject in 2017.
Was it her house where Swift left the scarf?
You don't know anything about it, said Maggie Gyllenhaal at the time on the show by US presenter Andy Cohen.
"It is absolutely possible, but I don't know."
Singer Dionne Warwick recently joined the debate.
"If this young man has Taylor's scarf, he should return it," she wrote on her official Twitter account.
In a second tweet she added: “He's not yours.
Wrap it up and I'll pay the postage, Jake. "
Incidentally, Swift itself sells a red "All To Well" knitted scarf in its online shop.
Because of the enormous demand, it cannot be guaranteed that he will arrive before Christmas, it says.
