14 DAY TRIAL // The first details on why Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift are no longer an item after just 2 months of dating are starting to emerge – and they show a pattern for the singer, who got dumped over the phone for the second time.
In the upcoming issue of Us Weekly, all these details will be presented in full. In the meantime, Lainey Gossip has a few bits and pieces about what went wrong with the romance.
Apparently, even though he asked her to spend Thanksgiving with his family after only a couple of dates, Jake chose to break up with Taylor over the phone, just like Joe Jonas also did a while back.
Though the romance was still in the early stages, Taylor was really head over heels with the actor, so she understandably took the news pretty hard. In fact, she's still grieving over him.
Just like the cover (attached) of Us says Taylor is “crushed,” Lainey Gossip says she's so devastated by the breakup she's not even eating anymore and is seeking refuge in her work.
“How Jakey dumped Swifty. It was over the phone. Just before New Year’s. I hope it was more than 27 seconds. That’s apparently how long it took for Joe Jonas to end things with her. On the phone too,” the e-zine writes.
Lainey Gossip also believes that Taylor's young age played a part in how rapidly things evolved: she seems inclined to fall in love with love.
“When Jakey pursued her, going through their agents to arrange a hook-up, of course it was like stars and rainbows. Jake of course has dimples and is delightful and hot. So it’s easy to blame her for being [silly],” the e-zine says.
“Us Weekly says now Swifty isn’t eating. She’s also supposedly working out like mad, to bury the pain, I guess, which will eventually transform itself into lyrical inspiration,” Lainey Gossip further writes.
What this could mean is another song in the vein of “Dear John,” which Taylor reportedly wrote after John Mayer broke up with her – and broke her heart in the process.
