Asked about whether or not the 'Mine' singer and the 'Love and Other Drugs' actor caught each other's eye at her dinner party, the 'Country Strong' actress responds, 'Well, I'm scared to say.'

Gwyneth Paltrow has played it coy when it comes to the rumor suggesting she was the one who introduced Jake Gyllenhaal to Taylor Swift. When USA Today's Claudia Puig asked her about whether or not she helped the rumored couple to get to know each other when she hosted a dinner party at her London home, the "Country Strong" actress refused to give an exact answer.

"Where is this coming from? I've just known Jake for a long time and he's a great guy, and [my husband] Chris [Martin] has a friendship with Taylor," the 38-year-old responded. Pressed with a question whether the two caught each other's eye at the dinner party, she replied, "Well, I'm scared to say. It's so weird. I wonder how people find out these things. It was a while ago, so I don't know why it would come out today."

Gwyneth isn't the only one rumored to play matchmaker on Jake and Taylor. Jake's own sister Maggie Gyllenhaal has also been said to play a part in the rumored romance. "Maggie introduced Jake to Taylor. Maggie and Taylor met at a charity event. Maggie thought Taylor was such a sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders," a source told Hollywood Life. "So, Maggie thought she'd be a great match for her brother."
