On Friday, June 18, Jake Gyllenhaal found out that Taylor Swift is releasing a re-recorded album of ‘Red’ in five months and he fought back tears all day. Not because the album is about him and he feels like it’s 2012 all over again but because he had something in his eye. Not everything is about Taylor Swift.
However, Jake knows it’s about to not be fun being Jake Gyllenhaal again for a while. It hasn’t been 24-hours since Taylor announced the news and his name is already trending on Twitter—at least according to the 278 friends who texted him to let him know, including his mother, who doesn’t even have Twitter.
It’s unclear how Jake’s long-term girlfriend, French model Jeanne Cadieu feels about all this but it’s likely she will support her man through this very difficult time in his life. However, she might not be emotionally and physically ready for what it means to deal with the Swifties’ scrutiny. There are many of them, and they’re not afraid to be petty.
In addition to the 16 songs of the original album, Taylor will release 14 more (30 in total) on November 19th. This gives Jake, his girlfriend, his parents, friends, cousins, fans and neighbors, five months to prepare for the dark times ahead. It might not be long enough but they don’t know that.
