Swift also has a habit of mentioning her father in more heartbreaking terms. In “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” – a song supposedly about ex Jake Gyllenhaal – She sings, “You charmed my dad with low-key jokes / Drinking coffee like you were on a late night show / But then he watched me guarding the front door and wished you would come / He said, ” It’s supposed to be fun.” , turning 21.” In the angriest song on her debut album, “Picture To Burn,” her father is also mentioned in the lyrics: “And if you come by here and tell me sorry / My daddy will show you how sorry will do it to you.”
