Taylor Swift revealed some insight into the making of her album Folklore in her new film that’s streaming now on Disney+.

In the special, the 30-year-old singer opened up about the song “Invisible String,” which is Track 11 on the album.

In the song, Taylor sings, “cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart, now I buy their babies presents.”

Talking with co-writer Aaron Dessner, she shared, “I remember I wrote it right after I sent an ex a baby gift. [Laughs] I was just like, ‘Man, life is great. This is a full signifier that life is great.’”

Lots of fans have speculated that the ex-boyfriend is Joe Jonas, who recently welcomed his first child with wife Sophie Turner.

Joe and Sophie‘s daughter Willa was actually born just two days before Folklore was released!

In the special, Taylor also confirmed the identity of her secret songwriter on the album.

Taylor Swift‘s latest album is making history!

As Folklore returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the eighth week, the album has also become the first album to sell a million copies in the United States in 2020, THR reports.

The 30-year-old entertainer’s album sold another 57,000 copies in the U.S. for the week ending on October 22, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Folklore‘s total album sales has now jumped to 1.038 million, making it the first album to sell a million copies in 2020.

Taylor first released Folklore back on July 24, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Taylor‘s last album Lover – released on August 23, 2019 – was the only album to sell a million copies in 2019.

Late last month, Taylor dethroned this music icon for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Jesse was the first one to see the tweet and he retweeted it with the message, “Ok I’m avail for this.”
