weird that her mother would say that when her mother is huge

Man, her mom was one of the reasons she has an eating disorder.

Ronnie, I've always admired your humility.  People should know that NYDN went looking for YOU to tell the true story.   You did a great job teaching this young woman.  She is a talent to be certain.  As are you.  Good job, man.

Thank you so much, Mr Cremer, because of you, Taylor found interest in music, and eventually became a successful singer-songwriter, all of her songs are beautifully written, no matter in musical melody or in lyrics!!!

Taylor and Andrea are super close. At some point, do you think Taylor resented her for her eating disorder? The fat popstar comment is so messed up, I could only imagine what went on behind closed doors.

Taylor shows so much love to her fans, but needs to show her teacher some love and appreciation. He got paid, yes, but she's built her image on compassion and goodwill and giving back to those who helped her.

Good job!
Of course it goes against her myth that some computer guy taught her a couple of cords blah blah ... and the rest is history.

Discipline, blood, sweat and tears. Who would've guessed it takes so much to be a peak performer.

As a parent if you see that your child has a talent & drive of course you would try your best to do everything you can to set them up 👍 if you have the money to do it even better 👍 Now because of her parents support she’s able to be the huge star she is but she’s impacted the entire world, an entire generation, so we owe her parents that gratitude 👍

Watching this & reading the articles about Ronnies time teaching Taylor was an eye opener 👍 esp what he revealed about the parents marriage & the mum making Taylor eat salads . I’m glad Taylor overcame her body image issues, but the mum putting pressure on her didn’t help (anyway no ones perfect) the mum & dad otherwise did a phenomenal job raising Taylor 👍. But TBH Ronnie, I think it’s cool to share how & what taught Taylor (as people are interested) so that’s cool, but NOT cool to use her name to promote yourself dude esp buying a domain name with “her” name in it. Not classy & not cool, I’m sure her parents paid you for those lessons? Was their payment & free dinners not enough for you?. You helped set Taylor up, but she ran with it, she wrote her own songs & has been a machine since then, just be humble & grateful for the part you played in her early days dude 😕 sharing her family’s issues NOT COOL 👎

He taught her how to play the guitar but that doesn’t mean he made taylor swift famous 🤣🤣🤣

[ultravioletpisces]

Wow!!! Someone taught Taylor
To play guitar?! I thought she was born knowing how to do it! No lessons needed. I feel so betrayed!

[OurBossFan]

Apparently there's no Hippocratic Oath for computer techs. Invited in like a friend, fed, paid wages, and you betray their trust for a sleazy publicity stunt. Pretty low. I'm sure you know that you need Taylor's permission to use her name. Her name is her property. If someone used your music without your permission would they hear about it? Selfish.

1. Why would he bring it up just now
2. he’s clearly trying to profit off of her
