Taylor Swift fans are still trying to find out who is the ‘actress’ mentioned in her extended version of All Too Well.
The pop star, 31, remembers her heartbreak in the 10-minute track – which has long been believed to be about actor Jake Gyllenhaal – singing: ‘Now I’m weeping in a party bathroom / Some actress asking me what happened / You, that’s what happened.’
And while Swifties initially believed Jennifer Aniston was the actress in question, Aniston’s close friend Jennifer Meyer took to Instagram to debunk that theory.
‘NOT TRUE PEOPLE!!! YOU HAAVE THE WRONG ACTRESS’ the A-list jeweler commented under an E! News post about Taylor’s track.
Try again: Taylor Swift fans might be disappointed to learn Jennifer Aniston is not the mystery actress mentioned in the new, extended version of All Too Well
Fan originally pegged Aniston as the gal in question based on a 2011 New York Daily News article, with the headline: ‘Jennifer Aniston gives Taylor Swift love advice: ‘Hang in there, everything will be okay.’
Other fans wondered if Anne Hathaway, who starred with Jake in 2010’s Love & Other Drugs, was the mystery thespian.
During a recently resurfaced Glamour UK interview from 2015, the Princess Diaries star said: ‘She just seems to be following her heart.
‘I met her — I hope it’s OK to say this — when she and Jake were together. She was 20 at the time and we hung out one night. I was like, “You are a magnificent creature.”‘
‘She was on fire and I’ve watched her become this force of nature,’ Anne added.
Romance: The pop star, 31, remembers her heartbreak in the reimagined track, which has long been believed to be about actor Jake Gyllenhaal, singing: ‘Now I’m weeping in a party bathroom / Some actress asking me what happened / You, that’s what happened.’ They’re seen together in November 2010

Although fans have long speculated that All Too Well was written about Jake, he and Taylor had a surprisingly short-lived romance.
The two only dated from October through December of 2010, and the People’s Choice Awards occurred on January 5 of 2011.
Although Taylor has never confirmed that the song is about the Donnie Darko star, she delved into her tortured mental state when she wrote it during a Tonight Show appearance last Thursday.
‘I showed up for rehearsals and I just was really upset, and sad, and everybody could tell, it was really, like, not fun to be around me that day,’ Taylor explained to host Jimmy Fallon.
‘So I started playing guitar and just kind of playing the same four chords over and over again.

Could be Anne: Other fans wondered if Anne Hathaway, who starred with Jake in 2010’s Love & Other Drugs, was the mystery thespian. She’s seen in 2019 above
‘And I just started, kind of, the band sort of joined in, and I started ad-libbing what I was going through, and what I was feeling, and it went on, and the song kept building and building and building in intensity, and the song just went on for about, you know, 10 to 15 minutes of us doing this,’ she said.
The longer version includes lines suggesting that the couple split due to their age difference.
‘You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine / And that made me want to die,’ she sings.
Rehearsals for her tour began in early 2011, and the song was released in its shortened version in 2012 on the original version of Red, which would fit the timeline if it was written about the actor.
Taylor told Fallon that she was most excited for her fans to hear the longer version out of all the material on Red (Taylor’s Version), which she signaled by making her directorial debut with a short film to accompany the song which she stars in with Sadie Sink, 19, and Dylan O’Brien, 30.
Mum’s the word: Taylor described writing the song to Jimmy Fallon last week, though she didn’t confirm if the song was about Jake; seen at the 2011 People’s Choice Awards
