See the real deep cut Taylor Swift lyrics to get tetchy about would’ve been Begin Again, the “you’re helping me get over a breakup by being everything to me he couldn’t” song off Red, the album about breaking up with Jake Gyllenhaal, where her examples include “talking about your family’s Christmas traditions”
(the Gyllenhaals are Jewish)
i don't get the gyllenhaal thing, doesn't society lead to most bi men instinctually hiding their sexuality? don't see what him having industry connections has to do with it, i can't think of any high-profile bi actors who came on the scene after the 70s (does will smith count?)
That’s the thing, after they did the gay-breakthrough “We Are Everywhere” stuff they’ve again been amazed that among nominal gays and straights alike, they were still everywhere
The thing is really someone coming from outside an established Hollywood family when Jake Gyllenhaal did would not have had either the necessary connections or the dynastic instinct to cover up his bisexuality
There is, or at least at the time was, a Hollywood pressure against “outing” people that was less about what it would mean in any particular circumstance than just preventing an “outing”-based paramedia ecology from establishing itself in the first place
The thing is really someone coming from outside an established Hollywood family when Jake Gyllenhaal did would not have had either the necessary connections or the dynastic instinct to cover up his bisexuality
An amusing thing is for all the intimacy and her baiting on recent albums I’m not sure you could go back through Red and realize Jake Gyllenhaal was bisexual
How funny is it that Jake Gyllenhaal’s chief legacy rn is as Taylor Swift’s muse?
