Taylor Swift has been involved with several famous men over the course of her time in the spotlight. From Harry Styles to Tom Hiddleston, Swift has dated many high-profile performers— and allegedly wrote about most of them, incorporating her romances into her popular songs.

One of Swift’s biggest hits, “All Too Well,” is a song that reportedly references a short-lived fling that Swift had with the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. In light of Swift re-recording the tune for her hit album Red, many fans are giving the actor the side-eye on all over again—and a hilarious TikTok video from a young woman named Brooke Gyllenhaal has everyone wondering if she’s related to the Donnie Darko actor. 

Taylor Swift’s re-recording of ‘Red’ has Jake Gyllenhaal back in the spotlight

Swift originally released her album Red in 2012. The album, and the song “All Too Well,” which was featured on it, were instant hits with Swift’s fan base. In recent months, with Swift re-recording the entire album, fans have displayed a renewed interest in the song “All Too Well,” which many have speculated to be about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. The two allegedly dated sometime in late 2010, although neither of them ever addressed the romance directly with the media. 

As part of her Red re-recording, Swift recorded and released a special 10-minute version of “All Too Well.” In promoting the song, Swift hasn’t talked about Jake Gyllenhaal directly, but she did admit in a recent interview, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, that she’s in a better place emotionally this time around: “It’s really nice to be able to put this album out and not be sad. Not be, like, taking breaks in between interviews to cry. I’m telling you, it’s much better this way.”

Fans on social media are loving the longer, 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” and many are re-examining Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal’s relationship. 

Brooke Gyllenhaal recently posted about the scarf in ‘All Too Well’

A famous lyric in “All Too Well” features Swift singing “I walked through the door with you, the air was cold, but something about it felt like home somehow, and I left my scarf there at your sister’s house, and you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now.” The scarf has taken on a life of its own among Swift fans, and there are some who have referenced it in a truly hilarious way.

Most notably, a young TikTok star named Brooke Gyllenhaal recently took to the video-sharing platform to joke about “All Too Well.” In the video, Brooke Gyllenhaal can be seen watching the music video for “All Too Well.” She added the caption “relax guys, I’ll tell him to return the scarf,” obviously making a play on her last name.

In spite of the last name similarity, Brooke Gyllenhaal is not actually related to the actor. In fact, according to Celeb Saga, Brooke Gyllenhaal is a rising sports star and expert lacrosse player. It seems as though Brooke Gyllenhaal’s TikTok joke is just that—a funny commentary on the fact that she shares a last name with Jake Gyllenhaal. 

Jake Gyllenhaal does have one famous relative

Jake Gyllenhaal might not be related to Brooke Gyllenhaal, but he does have one famous relative: his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, who is also a well-known performer. The two were recently spotted together, according to People Magazine, when Jake Gyllenhaal stepped out at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards, to support his sister as she received her award as a breakthrough director.

If Swift’s re-release of “All Too Well” bothered Jake Gyllenhaal, he didn’t show it and was reportedly all smiles while he hung out with Maggie Gyllenhaal at the prestigious ceremony. Still, it seems likely that Jake Gyllenhaal’s name will remain in the headlines for a while, in light of the song’s resurgence.
