But how did the couple meet?

Taylor and Jake met in mid-2010 and showed their closeness after visiting the program “Saturday Night Live” to support his partner Emma Stone. Rumors about an alleged relationship increased and Ellen DeGeneres consulted him about the alleged love affair with the protagonist of the film “Nightcrawler.” “I’m always optimistic about love, Taylor replied on that occasion.

Soon after, the couple would confirm their relationship, which was the reason for several comments due to the age difference between the two. Taylor was 20 and Jake was 29. Despite this, they continued together and were even seen walking in New York City during Thanksgiving, which they shared with Maggie, Gyllenhaal’s sister.

By December, the couple had consolidated and the Hollywood actor expressed to “Us Weekly” magazine his desire to have Taylor at Christmas dinner, a moment that is commonly shared with the family.

The end of the relationship

When their entire love story seemed rosy, the breakup came. In January 2011, the specialized media reported that it would have been Jake who broke up with Taylor after some awards. “He told her it wasn’t working. She is very upset and hurt. Has felt mistreated,” revealed a source to” Us Weekly “magazine.

In three months the love was gone, but that time was enough for Swift to return to the studio and write the song “All Too Well”, which is part of her album “Red” (2012), along with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together ”.

I left my scarf there at your sister’s house / And you still have it in your drawer even now”. Read another fragment of the single. Some fans of the artist linked it to the accessory she wore while she was with Jake on Thanksgiving Day in 2010, one of the last happy moments the couple had.

Around the separation there were also many rumors, and age would be the main factor. This would have been confirmed with a new verse added to the single she released last week. “You said that if we had been closer in ages maybe everything would have been fine / And with that I felt like dying”, dice “All Too Well (Taylor´s version)”.

Thanks to the disclosure of this album with the new version of several songs by Taylor Swift –in order to recover her copyright-, the American artist accompanied “All Too Well” with a short film of 14 minutes and 55 seconds that would still give more lights than she lived in the relationship with the Hollywood star, Jake Gyllenhaall.

The cinematographic piece begins by quoting a famous fragment from Poem 20 by Pablo Neruda, with the phrase “love is so short and oblivion is so long”. Starring actress Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Teen Wolf”), it tells the actors’ failed love story due to their age difference.

A key turning point between the protagonists of “All Too Well: The Short Film” is when they were having dinner with friends.
