Read our privacy policy Taylor Swift’s new song “All Too Well” has prompted women to reassess their relationship with older men. New lyrics include the lines: “And I was never good at telling jokes/ But the punchline goes: “‘I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age.’” Gyllenhaal, 40, is currently dating 25-year-old model Jeanne Cadieu. The Guardian’s columnist Moira Donegan wrote: “Taylor Swift revisiting her 10-years-old bad breakup with an older man reflects a really particular feeling where women remember relationships they had with older men in their teens and twenties and wake up like ‘wait, that was exploitation.’” Another fan wrote: “I have dated a guy at 21 when he was almost 30. I really don’t think people should date with that age gap because it’s easy to use somebody when they are 21.” “All Too Well” features on Swift’s new release, Red.
