Former "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky understands all too well what Taylor Swift was referencing in her song about Jake Gyllenhaal.The reality-star and former E! News correspondent is opening up about her experience on the red-carpet, sharing it "ate away" at her self-confidence, and exposing one celebrity who wasn't particularly kind. "Sorry Jake Gyllenhaal, I'm gonna Taylor Swift you right now," Fedotowsky joked. "I've never talked about, like, celebrities that were mean to me before ‘cause I always thought like, ’Aw, I shouldn't… What if they just had a bad day?' But like, c'mon, if Taylor's gonna write a whole song about it, it's gotta be bad," she said, referencing Swift's song "All Too Well," presumably written about Gyllenhaal.
"Jake Gyllenhaal shows up [on] the red carpet, again, my first red carpet for E! News. I'm like, ‘I’m gonna kill it. I'm gonna be so good,'" she remembered thinking.
"I practiced, I rehearsed all my questions, I was so ready to go. He walks up, I'm shaking in my heels, which I'm horrible in heels, and I say to him, ‘Hi Jake… who’d you bring tonight – like for a date. Who's your date tonight?' "He goes, ‘Buh-bye,’ and walks away from me." Fedotowsky remembers being flabbergasted and confused by the exchange.
"I looked back at like the camera and my producer and I started crying. Because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is my first red carpet, I’m gonna lose my job, because I didn't get any of the questions, he's the star of the film,'" she explained on the "Women on Top" podcast. Although she did not reference Gyllenhaal's particular movie, the reality star finished the sixth season of "The Bachelorette" in 2010. Fedotowsky reinforced how easy it is to be nice to interviewers on red carpets,
