While fans of both Carpenter and Gyllenhaal have taken to Twitter/X/The Bird App™️ to share their excitement, others — namely,Swifties— have also been pointing out what an absolutely unhinged, chaotic pairing this is.
You see,Sabrina Carpenterwas recently an opener for several international dates on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and is famously besties with theTortured Poets Departmentsinger. The pair have been spotted hanging out everywhere from aChief’s gametoCoachella, with their internet-beloved boyfriendsBarry KeoghanandTravis Kelcein tow.
In case you’re not caught up on the Swiftie lore,Jake Gyllenhaalis, famously, one of Taylor Swift’s exes. Their relationship is believed to be the inspiration for much ofRedandRed (Taylor’s Version), including the fan-favorite 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” which SwiftperformedonSNLwhen she was a musical guest back in 2021.
When the re-recorded version of the album dropped in the fall of 2021, Gyllenhaal essentially became public enemy number one on social media, with a simultaneous meme and hate train chugging along as Swifties new and old empathized with Swift’s heartbreak over the then-10-year-old relationship.

As someone who frequents pop girlie stan Twitter, I can tell you that the Venn diagram of Taylor Swift fans and Sabrina Carpenter fans is basically a circle. So, fans of both were ON IT with the “All Too Well” and “Espresso” jokes as soon as the news dropped. I’ve gotta say, some of them are pretty damn funny:
