There's no bad blood between Taylor Swift and her ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas!

The 30-year-old singer opened up about the creation of her most recent album Folklore in her new Disney+ concert film, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.

In the special, Swift — who is currently dating actor Joe Alwyn — spoke about the song 'Invisible String' where she sings, "cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart, now I buy their babies presents."

She told her co-writer Aaron Dessner — founding member of the rock back The National — that she really did buy a present for her ex-boyfriend's baby!

"I remember I wrote it right after I sent an ex a baby gift," she said with a laugh. "I was just like, 'Man, life is great. This is a full signifier that life is great.'"

When the album was released, fans speculated Swift was singing about Jonas, who welcomed his first child with Sophie Turner earlier this year.

Jonas and Swift dated from July to October 2008. He famously broke up with her over the phone.

Swift also revealed in her film that her mystery co-writer William Bowery, who is credited on the album, is in fact Alwyn.

"There's been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity because it's not a real person," the 30-year-old Grammy winner said. "So, William Bowery is Joe, as we know."

Swift and Alwyn have been together for three years.
