"No. No...Just back off," he told Vulture blog, a part of New York Magazine. "I don't keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."
Swift broke off her relationship with Harry Styles recently, sparking some to question whether she would write a new song about him and their failed relationship. In the past, Swift has written songs about a number of her celebrity exes.
If his son brought Swift home "I wouldn't even know who she was," Fox said.
On Friday, Swift wrote on her Twitter account that Fox had apologized. She suggested that fans had not been amused by the actor's comments. She did however, forgive the actor.
"Hey everybody, Michael J. Fox got in touch with me today and we are good," she wrote. "Thank you for having my back."
On Swift's first album, at least four of the songs were about actual ex-boyfriends according to Swiftipedia. "December" is rumored to be about Taylor Lautner and "I Knew You Were Trouble" about John Mayer.
