Taylor Swift Fans Troll Jake Gyllenhaal With 'All Too Well' Lyrics

Swifties know the importance of Taylor Swift's catalogue as much as the singer does herself, especially when it comes to songs like "All Too Well."

Off her 2012 album, Red, the six-minute ballad holds a very special place in fans' hearts as it recounts a fallen romance, which has been largely suspected to be about her and Jake Gyllenhaal's brief time together in 2010. So, when the Hollywood titan, shared a childhood photo of him wearing glasses via Instgaram on Monday (September 28), it was too tempting for fans not to reference the lyric in Swift's album cut when she sings, "You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin sized bed."

At time of press, the black-and-white photo had garnered over 8,000 comments and some of the top remarks for the post were dedicated to the fan favorite.

Since their split, Gyllenhaal has kept mostly quiet about Swift, despite admitting to Howard Stern in 2015 that the pop superstar was "a beautiful girl." Even though their romance didn’t last, we will always have "All Too Well" and after the actor's new post, he'll be reminded of the glorious five-minute track, too.

I’ve worn my glasses ever since I parted my hair meticulously with gel (see above), which is why NEW EYES has always been near and dear to my heart. Since 1932, @neweyes_ has provided eyeglasses to people who needed them most. I’m thrilled that they’ve partnered with @theinspireprojectus to create Project Human: Changing the Way We See the World, a speaker series coming to schools and remote learners this fall. Project Human is designed to spark conversations focusing on unity and equality. It’s an opportunity for students to interact with public figures and do what they do best: Keep ‘em on their toes!
