Romance Report for Jan. 12: Broken Hearts and Tawdriness
By Kat Giantis
Jake Gyllenhaal had better brace himself, because it's looking more and more likely that he's going to end up immortalized in song. Us Weekly (via Hollywood Life) says Taylor Swift is heartbroken after the actor abruptly pulled the plug on their two-month, coffee-crammed romance.
Oh, and he apparently did it over the phone, the same non-confrontational method employed by the popster's ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas, whose 27-second telecommunication breakup resulted in her hit song "Forever & Always."
"Taylor is really upset and hurt," says a source. "She doesn't know what she did for him to just put a stop to it. She feels really burned by him."
And we all know that when Swifty feels burned, she grabs her gee-tar and bares her soul in chart-topping rhymes.
Gyllenhaal, 30, supposedly drop-kicked Taylor, 21, because he felt the romance was attracting too much attention, something he didn't seem to mind when they were snapped awkwardly smiling and strolling the streets of Brooklyn over Thanksgiving.
A source says Swift seemed down in the dumps at last week's People's Choice Awards: "She didn't eat anything, seemed very sad and definitely wasn't having a good time."
