The 30-year-old American singer and the curator of folklore, Taylor Swift, chose that one album from her collection as her pick of a breakup record. To everyone’s surprise, Taylor chose Red.
Red is for Jake Gyllenhaal
Taylor’s massive fanbase, who call themselves Swifties, was very rapid to conclude that their idol’s Red album is all about the 39-year-old Donni Darko actor Jake Gyllenhaal. The matter is backed to the legit happening of Taylor’s love affair timeline; the singer went to a breakup with Jake a year before Red made its way to the global music spotlight.
Rolling Stone is the first who heard Taylor’s revelation, as the Look What You Made Me Do singer graces an interview with the outlet for its magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums feature. The interview is also in partnership with Amazon Music, Billboard reported.
“I look back on this [Red] as my true breakup album, every other album has flickers of different things,” TayTay said with no hesitations. “But this was an album that I wrote specifically about pure, absolute, to the core, heartbreak,” she continued.
Here are what fans have to say
As per Hollywood Life, Swifties is making noise on social media as the snippet of Taylor’s interview was released. The theories of fans have now once again come back to life with Taylor’s revelation.
To date, fans are pointing out Jake as the culprit that led Taylor to create Red. Furthermore, with Taylor’s exact words, the album is the epitome of “heartbreak,” meaning it all boils down to Jake, who happened to be her boyfriend a year before it was released.
One fan took over a post by dropping Jake’s name. Another Swiftie tweeted as a response to the audio teaser by thanking the actor for breaking Taylor’s heart as it paves the way for her to create the best album.
