Taylor Swift - Taylor Swift's New Album About Jake Gyllenhaal?

"There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak and that will turn out to be what the next album is about," she told the magazine, continuing "The only way that I can feel better about myself - pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone - is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity." She stopped short of being explicit about it however, when being asked if she'd cried that Christmas she admonished "I am not gonna go into it! It's a sad story!"

If this new album is to be about the pains of the heart though, it seems it'll be written retrospectively, with Swift stating "I really have this great life right now, and I'm not sad and I'm not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that".
