Taylor Swift just dropped the rerelease of her 2012 album “Red,” which was allegedly inspired by her short-lived romance with Jake Gyllenhaal.
The actor quickly started trending on Twitter over the weekend, especially after the singer released her 10-minute updated version of “All Too Well,” which featured lyrics such as: “They say all’s well that ends well/ But I’m in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind/ You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine/ And that made me want to die.” She even sang the rumored Gyllenhaal breakup song on “SNL.”
Swift has won multiple Grammys for songs and albums inspired by her past relationships, so let’s break down her dating history and how she found love with her current boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

The actor and singer dated in 2009 after meeting on the set of Swift’s music video for “You Belong With Me.”
Till actually spoke about the relationship with MTV back in the day. “We dated for a little bit. But there was no friction because we were too nice. We just really both liked each other,” he said.
“[But] most relationships work out ’cause you get along and then you don’t, and then you make up and it’s passionate, and with us, I really just liked her as a friend. That’s the only reason that didn’t work out,” Till explained.

The songs “Dear John,” “Ours” and “I Knew You Were Trouble” are rumored to be about Mayer.
Mayer reacted to the “Dear John” lyrics in an interview with Rolling Stone. He said, “I never got an email. I never got a phone call. I was really caught off guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?”
