Taylor Swift Admits Jake Gyllenhaal Dumped Her & Made Her Cry At Christmas
Click to see pics from Taylor's super glam Vogue shoot!
I have to applaud Taylor Swift for being honest about her last relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal and not letting him off the hook for breaking her heart!
Taylor Swift is never one to completely “out” her ex-boyfriends, but in her latest interview in Vogue she more than hints at the heartache caused by her last serious beau, Jake Gyllenhaal, and I’m impressed by her openness.
On paper (and let’s be honest, even off it), the 22-year-old singer has EVERYTHING — an overwhelmingly successful career, fashion sense, great friends, a supportive family and two well-decorated homes. It’s easy to think NOTHING would let her down, but she’s the first to point out that’s not the case.
When discussing her dating life, Taylor opened up about a dark moment last year — when Jake ended their relationship.
“I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that,” Taylor admitted, adding, “I am not gonna go into it! It’s a sad story!”
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m embarrassed when I get rejected by a guy, so I’ll never talk about it — much less announce it in Vogue. It was brave of Taylor to openly talk about something that failed in her world. Plus, she couldn’t help but throw another jab at Jake, who was obsessed with hiding their relationship.
“Also, I can’t deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy,” she said. “People kind of care if there are two famous people dating. But no one cares that much. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”
At one point, Jake rented out an entire movie theater just so he and Taylor could watch a movie — and it wasn’t for the romantic factor ala Justin Bieber style. He didn’t want anyone knowing he was there with her. It’s almost like he was ashamed. So rude!
Taylor, thanks for being honest in your interview and not painting your world through rose colored glasses. It’s no wonder you’ve sold millions and millions of albums and concert tickets — we all relate to you!

She seems complainitive. What the hell? “OHMIGAWD. MY BOYFRIEND DUMPED ME. I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH EVERYBODY AND MAKE HIM SEEM LIKE A DOUCHE”. Get over yourself, honny.. I wouldn’t blame him for wanting privacy. All tht ever happens to him when he goes out is pictures, pictures, and more pictures. Same for her. I would be quite pleased. She’s freaking annoying >.>

Alas, I am from the same town she is….funny how we turned out so different? If only she was as well upholstered
as the sofa! …she might just be the next woke up it was a chelsea morning….
My relationship with JG was not very rewarding either….
all that work and none of us got an academy award just a lot of hype about our preferences. WHat a dreadful movie….we can be glad it was fiction…most real gay men have better relationships and much less melodrama….and I really did not want to wind up clutching his old clothes…
He wasn’t the first to be molested so young!

She seems very immature to me. If she has so many breakup songs and each are about someone new it’s almost like she’s emotionally stunted, like she becomes very bitter when someone doesn’t love her after a week together.

Totally agree! She’s completely ridiculous and she’s almost 23! She needs to grow up and get over herself. Every one of her songs is about a boy and she is notorious for going to the media with every single failed relationship (notice how she is always the one who is dumped) and then she is called “strong” because she talks about how rude and obnoxious those guys were meanwhile she is only doing it for the petty points. Honestly, it’s like she’s a 13 year old girl.

She isnt almost 23, she turned 22 last month!
And stop hating on her, everyone goes through heartbreak, at any age. Just because she writes songs about her feelings doesnt mean you can hate on her. She writes about her break ups and her life is in the public eye and she cant do anything but accept that and live normally. Just leave her alone.
I love you Taylor! You are awesome

It annoys me to no end that she cannot be private in her personal life, she’s constantly writing songs about some guy breaking her heart, and talking about it everywhere and making them out to be the bad guys. She’s in her twenties which means she should grow up and be mum about the men she dates.

I’m sorry I am not trying to sound insanely biased I am a Taylor fan, but if you need to rent out a theatre so you can watch a movie with someone, you obviously have some issues. I like Jake not hating on him, but, you are a celebrity, you took on that lifestyle when you decided your career path so a private life is not going to be the same as the rest of us.

Actually, Gossip Cop shot that rumor down! He didn’t actually rent a full theater for them. It was untrue. Plus, even in that 0.001% chance that maybe he did, so did Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Paps find THAT romantic.

I’m gonna take an educated guess and say Jake was ashamed to be dating her because of the age difference..

i use to be a big fan of her music but i don’t think she is growing as an artist she is 22 going on 23 and she is still writing about the same things and her music still sounds like 16 yr old taylor is writing them so i probably won’t get her new albums but the whole jake thing i am on his side because being a star people don’t need to know every thing and desetves privacy in a relationship and to me watching her prompt speak now she was kind of using the relationship for publicity

I was fan honestly until speak now was released because I didn’t like the fact that, that album made a huge buzz because of the “famous guys names” used to write the songs with and it’s getting worse she’s childish and immature to revenge and treat boys like that. I won’t buy this album too. Sad for her she’s totally pathetic and losing herself in her fairy world and probably no other men would like to date her at all.

Damn. I have never seen so much T. Swift hate from so many people…
Any Ho! Taylor, stop writing all about the guys who dump you, cheat on you, wrong you in any way, shape or form. Seriously, THEY’RE NOT WORTH IT!!! Write more songs like “Never Grow Up” or “Long Live” because those are AMAZING songs. Sure, keep your break up songs in there. They made you famous and there is always millions of girls who can easily relate, but there’s more to life than guys…and your not really expressing that.

While I love how sweet and role-modelish (unlike Miley) Taylor Swift is, I would not applaud her for all of these jabs at her ex’s. I don’t mind her writing a song about them, but putting their names out and everything, that’s a little immature. I mean, I think a good revenge to a bad guy is awesome, but whining about every little break up? Why not forgive and forget? Again, love Taylor, but it is a little annoying. And, if she’s been through that many break ups, you start to wonder if it’s her who is doing wrong…(kind of like Jen Aniston)…
Kayla

That’s my stand on it too, like it’s Ok to have a few breakup songs inspired by actual events in her life, but jeez you don’t to write one for EVERY one. I really don’t why she has to put all her exes on blast. She makes them all seem like their the bad guy all the time.

Look, I’m not trying to hate on Taylor Swift, but I mean, get real, this article is a little bit MORE than biased on the situation. Taylor has a nice voice, but her songs are all seemingly the same. She’s beautiful too, but plenty of guys HAVE dumped her and I’m not saying that it is her fault, but it does NOT mean that it is the guy’s fault either. I’M A GIRL, and I know that guys have the lower hand in a relationship. Sometimes, it isn’t fair. When two people break up and the girl is first to rip on the guy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the things that she says are true. For all we know, Jake could be the better one by not saying anything bad about her and trying to play it down and not make a big deal. He wouldn’t have actually WANTED to break her heart. So what? People break up. Big deal. Get over yourself Taylor. Don’t write ANOTHER song about it. Hope you read this, I doubt that I’m wasting your time but rather opening your eyes to a new possibility. Thanks.

Yes! it’s a great article and it’s one we’ve never heard! Oh wait, every single time she talks about a new album it’s the same thing! I thought rumor was that this one was going to completely different. But from this it sounds like it’s going to be the same stuff as always.

Taylor Swift is the most pathetic celebrity out there. Once again after being dumped for what the 5th time? since shes been in the spotlight its still the guys fault!
Now we get to listen to another song that most likely will sound just like her last 10 songs of her crying like a little 12 year old girl.
I cant wait for Taylor Swift to be gone and hopefully one day she’ll realize its her fault in all these relationships.

It sounds like she has nothing going on so she’s rehashing old sad memories just to make an album! She needs to let that stuff go!
Melinda Warren, Love your name. Charmed fan or lucky enough to have a cool name like that?
Anyways, she can’t sing her way out of a paper bag and I’m waiting for her cult to figure that out. I’m sure she’s nice or whatever (cough maneater cough) but you should at least have some musical talent if that’s what your living your life for. My cousin left her concert because Swifty sounded horrible live.

I opted for tramp. I heard Maggie Gyllenhall, Jake’s sister, never liked her. I hope she goes public and lays Swifty low.

great now she’s gunna write another song about the fifth guy who’s dumped her terrific she needs to stop blaming the guy so what if Jake rented out a movie theatre it was romantic he did it so that they could be alone people care a lot about 2 famous people dating and if you ever went out in public you’d be swarmed with paparazzi and you wouldn’t get to spend any time together so taylor swift grow up and stop blaming guys for what is clearly your fault

How pathetic. She is 22 and she has how many albums full of songs about guys breaking her heart? Come on, she’s a serial dater and is always with a new guy and has even herself claimed that she loves love. She will forever be finding a new guy and then slamming him in songs when he doesn’t fulfill her fairy tale fantasy of love.

She hasn’t dated anyone in over a year…Why the blind hate? Do you enjoy making up lies about people? cause it looks that way. Love you Tay!

She always makes it sound like it’s the guy’s falt maybe it’s her fault. I bet she told that story just for fame because she’s starting to lose the spotlight.

I agree. People are finally finding out what the rest of us already knew…. that although they think she’s America’s sweetheart, she has a horrible singing voice. I have no idea in this world how she beat out Lea M for that role in Les Miz. Unless that’s just a plain old lie or they’re just adding her because of the star power she USED to have.

2 guys have dumped her…I’m guessing more have dumped you…I’m guessing its you.

And she dumped quite a few too. Swifty’s been plowed more times than a corn field.
