Jake Gyllenhaal opened up about the backlash he received after the release of the 10 minute version of Taylor Swift's 'All Too Well.'
“It has nothing to do with me,” Gyllenhaal told the mag about the song that was rebooted in a 10-minute version on the re-release ofin November 2021. Gyllenhaal and Swift dated for a few months in 2010, and their relationship was back in the spotlight in a major way after Swift released a video for the new version of the emotional song.
The new version features lyrics about “weeping in a party bathroom” after an older partner — Gyllenhaal is nearly a decade older than Swift — tells her that “if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine,” which she hits back at with the biting couplet, “I was never good at telling jokes/ But the punchline goes/ ‘I’ll get older, but your lovers will stay my age.
“At some point, I think it’s important when supporters get unruly that we feel a responsibility to have them be civil and not allow for cyberbullying in one’s name,” Gyllenhaal told the mag about surviving the slings and arrows of the renewed ire from Swifties and stars’ responsibility to keep things civil. For the record, Swift has not explicitly commented on her fans’ reactions or the subject of the song. “That begs for a deeper philosophical question.
Frankly, Gyllenhaal added, “There’s anger in divisiveness,” which he said can turn “life-threatening” in the most extreme cases, though he clarifies that his life has not been threatened over the “All Too Well” controversy. “My question is: Is this our future? Is anger and divisiveness our future? Or can we be empowered and empower others while simultaneously putting empathy and civility into the dominant conversation? That’s the discussion we should be having,” he said.
