Dionne Warwick Will ‘Find’ Jake Gyllenhaal & Get Taylor Swift’s Scarf Back
]
Dionne Warwick attends the “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” Premiere during the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival at Princess of Wales Theatre on Sept. 11, 2021 in Toronto.
Dionne Warwick knows “All Too Well” that people must return things that don’t belong to them.
The icon stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Thursday night (Jan. 20), where the host deemed her the Queen of Twitter.
“I can’t let you go without weighing in on this,” Colbert said, before holding up a tweet she shared after watching Taylor Swift’s short film of “All Too Well” off Red (Taylor’s Version), which captured the tumultuous three-month relationship between the singer and actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
“If that young man has Taylor’s scarf he should return it,” Warwick tweeted in response on November 15. “It does not belong to you. Box it up and I will pay the cost of postage, Jake.”

The tweet was, of course, in reference to the line in which Swift sings, “Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone / But you keep my old scarf from that very first week / ‘Cause it reminds you of innocence / And it smells like me.”
It does not belong to you. Box it up and I will pay the cost of postage, Jake. — Dionne Warwick (@dionnewarwick) November 15, 2021
When Colbert asked if there have been any “updates” on the return of Swift’s scarf, Warwick replied, “Not one word from him or her yet.”
However she went on and assured, “I’m going to find out and going to give her a call. I am! To find out if she got her scarf and if she didn’t, I’m going to find Jake.”
Neither Swift nor Gyllenhaal has confirmed that “All Too Well” is about their relationship. His sister, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, told Andy Cohen in 2017 that people keep asking her about the scarf that Swift allegedly left “there at your sister’s house,” but she has no idea.

Dionne Warwick Set to Share New Single, “Power In The Name”
]
They say there are no second acts in America. Well, Dionne Warwick is showing that that’s not true.
The singer, who enjoyed a rise to fame in the mid-1950s and is known as one of the biggest hitmakers in the 20th century, is now perhaps even more famous for her social media personality and appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Now, the artist has a new single set to hit (digital) shelves.
Warwick announced that she will release her next song, “Power In The Name,” which will feature the rapper Krayzie Bone and producer Nomad, on January 19. Proceeds will go to charities for the homeless.
The song offers listeners a powerful message about hope. And the 81-year-old New Jersey-born Warwick will be performing on Good Morning America and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on January 19 and 20, respectively
The track, which also has religious and spiritual undertones, is an excellent combination of Warwick’s soulful singing, thoughtful production, and tight lyricism. (Check for its release in a week)
But we’d expect nothing but the best from one of the most interesting artists on the planet. Warwick, who also recently performed at the Las Vegas Raiders game on Boxing Day, later performed on the hit TV show The Masked Singer.
She released a new gospel single with Chance the Rapper (check that HERE), and of course, who could forget her on SNL? Check out that memorable cameo above with the show’s cast member (and resident Warwick impersonator), Ego Nwodim.
More recently, Warwick tweeted about her late friend, actor Sidney Poitier, saying, “He once caught me following him. He said “little girl what do you want” I muttered “can I have your autograph”. From that day he always called me little girl and asked if I wanted his autograph. It was something we laughed about. He was my hero & great friend. May he RIP.”
