During an appearance on _Watch What Happens Live_ with Andy Cohen, [_The Deuce_](http://time.com/4929340/review-the-deuce-hbo/ "undefined") star was asked by Cohen whether or not it was true that Swift had left a scarf at her house once, a question that baffled Gyllenhaal. “I never understood why everybody asked me about this scarf,” Gyllenhaal said. “What is this?” Cohen kindly explained that the scarf theory was because of a 2012 song from Swift’s _Red_ album titled “All Too Well” which Swifties widely believe is about former squeeze Jake Gyllenhaal. One of the lyrics includes a story that fans speculated relates to Maggie: “Left my scarf there at your sister’s house.” Gyllenhaal, for her part, took it all in stride, telling Cohen that although she didn’t know about the lyric, it was within the realm of possibility. “I am in the dark about the scarf,” she said. “It’s totally possible. I don’t know. I have been asked this before.” This isn’t the only time that Taylor Swift’s lyrics has caused the Internet to have vast speculations about its meanings; one of her latest songs, [“Look What You Made Me Do” has inspired plenty of fan theories about its hidden messages.](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/ "undefined") Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4939482/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4939482/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf/"},"headline":"At Last Maggie Gyllenhaal Acknowledges the Most Important Taylor Swift Scarf Rumor","datePublished":"2017-09-13T17:11:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:13.908Z","description":"\"I am in the dark about the scarf\"","url":"https://time.com/4939482/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Late Night","viral","Taylor Swift","andy cohen","Jake Gyllenhaal"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta14f8772b6149b5d/6988dd9abc6cfc1b6f3e30f9/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta14f8772b6149b5d/6988dd9abc6cfc1b6f3e30f9/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Deuce\" New York Premiere","caption":"\"The Deuce\" New York Premiere","creditText":"Gilbert Carrasquillo—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4939482/maggie-gyllenhaal-taylor-swift-scarf/","name":"At Last Maggie Gyllenhaal Acknowledges the Most Important Taylor Swift Scarf Rumor"}}]}] ```
