Taylor, who is now dating NFL champion Travis Kelce, mostly retreated from the spotlight during her time with Joe, and the super-private couple rarely appears in public together.
They won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2021 after Joe co-wrote and co-produced several tracks on their album Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
They were also nominated for the same award a year later for Evermore.
The source explained that Joe was more than aware of Taylor’s songwriting process thanks to the tracks they had created together.
“Taylor draws on her relationships in almost all of her songs and admires her artistry,” the source added.
“He’s made a ton of money from the six songs he’s written for Taylor in the past and is grateful that their relationship has also helped make him a household name.”

“Joe heard the album and is a little disappointed, but not surprised at all,” a source told DailyMail.com.

“I hope people ask those questions; if I’m putting work into the world, of course people will ask me about it,” he added.
Joe has never spoken about his relationship with Taylor, whose new album appears to accuse him of cheating on him and destroying his dreams of marriage and children.
Taylor has since moved on with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (pictured in February).
But despite being separated for a year, Taylor’s latest album has fueled speculation about their romance, with the song appearing to accuse Joe of cheating and trashing her vision of the future in songs including So Long, London and Just out of jail.
Following the release of TTPD, Taylor shared a statement about letting go of the ‘sensational and painful’ moment that inspired the album.
“This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter is closed and walled up,” he wrote. ‘There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once the wounds have healed.
And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted.
‘This writer firmly believes that our tears become sacred in the form of ink on a page. Once we have told our saddest story, we can free ourselves from it. And then all that remains is tortured poetry.
Joe is focusing on promoting his upcoming film Kinds of Kindness (pictured with co-star Emma Stone) and is said to have banned questions about Taylor during promotion.
The album also appears to reference her brief flirtation with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy in the weeks following her split from Joe.
The lyrics refer to a man in a ‘Jehovah’s Witness outfit’ (Matty is known for his distinctive black suits) and typewriters, who appear on stage during his live shows.
Drug use is also mentioned. The frontman, who is now dating model Gabbriette Bechtel, has spoken openly about substance abuse in previous interviews.
Their affair, which neither party confirmed, ended as quickly as it began after Taylor received backlash from fans over Matty’s “bad boy” image and his “racist” impressions on a podcast.
