Taylor Swift Threatens Ex-Guitar Teacher With Legal ActionTaylor is demanding that Ronnie Cremer stop using her name Taylor Swift does not want her ex-guitar teacher to use her name on his site anymore. The exact nature of the relationship between Ronnie Cremer and Taylor Swift changes depending on who is talking about it. According to a story Swift told as far back as 2009 on a promotional DVD, a computer tech repairman was visiting her home and spotted her guitar. He asked her if she played and offered to teach her a few chords. In January, computer repairman Cremer gave an interview to the New York Daily News identifying himself as that repairman. Except according to Cremer, the lessons came well before he ever set eyes on her computer. Cremer said he recorded a demo at his studio for Taylor and afterward her family approached him to give her guitar lessons. Cremer maintained to the Daily News he actually gave her lessons for about two years. OK, tomayto/tomahto. It's no surprise that celebrities often embellish or make creative edits to the stories about their rise to fame and fortune. Most of the time, the truth about how musicians make it in the industry is so boring it would probably put their fans to sleep like a reading of Goodnight Moon. But Cremer's story doesn't end simply with a few discrepancies over details. On Tuesday, the Daily News reported that Cremer, who started a website called ITaughtTaylorSwift.com, received a demand from the music star's legal team telling him to quit using her name on the site: On Feb. 6, Cremer received an email from TAS Rights Management, LCC saying that Cremer's domain name, "incorporates the famous Taylor Swift trademark in its entirety and suggests TAS's sponsorship or endorsement of your website. The Domain Name and your use of the Domain Name are also highly likely to dilute, and to tarnish, the famous Taylor Swift trademark." This isn't that surprising of a move for Taylor, when you consider how she's pushed to exert more control over her image, name, and music in recent months. In less legalese terms, Taylor is not playing around with people who want to use her fame or creative work to make money for themselves. Cremer told the New York Daily News he felt like Taylor and her team were trying to "bully" him. He said he has no plans to relinquish the domain name, which he bought from the GoDaddy web hosting service. As of the time this post was written, ITaughtTaylorSwift.com was not a working website and Cremer's Twitter only makes reference to his Facebook profile. Additionally, Cremer said he's been besieged by angry fans of Taylor's since going public with his story. "I got a lot of hate mail from Swift fans who just do not want to believe under any circumstances that Taylor lied to them," he said. "That's she's just not capable. That her story, that she called a 'magical twist of fate' story, could ever not be the truth." But that's not even the worst part of the fallout. "Her father unfriended me on Facebook," Cremer said. How tragic. Hopefully, someday, all these people can kiss and make up — and Taylor can write a catchy yet slight heartbreaking song about the whole thing. www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a36340/taylor-swift-ex-guitar-teacher-lawsuit/

Bad Blood (feat Kanye West) would be insane.
Madonna praised said that was her favorite Taylor song at the Grammy's.
It's coming. :'(

That would be such a smart move, actually. Just given their history - the hype that would build over them collaborating...
Also, imagine if she performed Bad Blood at the Grammys next year. With Kanye. In front of Katy.

Taylor doesn't need to remix a rapper onto any of her songs. She can save that desperate tactic for Katy.

And to be quite frank, she does need a different approach for her upcoming singles if they want to go after Katy's record, which, at this point, they have to be fully aware of. A Kanye/Taylor duet would bring in tons of attention and buzz to a song that more than 6 million people have purchased so far. It's a cheap tactic, but it isn't a bad one. And let's be real, Kanye's also very talented. This isn't a Pitbull situation.

It's better than selling the song at $0.69

I think that if Taylor really wants to break the record she'll want to do it on her own merit... without help from other parties. I'm not denying that a duet would generate buzz, but it's a cheap tactic like you said. Taylor respects her album and artistry too much to "sell out" for #1's when it's absolutely possible to achieve them on her own.

There's no way it's possible for anyone to get 6 #1's without "selling out." Even then, I don't think a collaboration with somebody else is selling out. Taylor's album has already sold 6 million copies worldwide. Anything she releases will have a harder time reaching the top because, well, 6 million people already own all of the songs and she's also against spotify. There's only so much an award show performance and a fancy video is going to do.
I, for one, am all about this. Her team drops the ball after the second single because she's so front loaded so this is beneficial for her. And again, it's not like it's Pitbull.

The record (Katy) was achieved on the back of supposed "cheap tactics" (discounted singles, remixed/altered versions) so it is not as if the artist before Taylor achieved it on their "own merit". Kanye or no Kanye people are still not going to purchase a song unless they want to. I don't even see how adding a rapper is "selling out". Taylor has made it well known that she is a huge fan of rap; her teaming with a rap artist was only a matter of time IMO. Sometimes a song just bangs harder with a rap verse or two (see E.T.). I, personally, would like to see a Tay song with the inclusion of a rapper. Regardless if he is or isn't featured on a future 1989 release, it won't strip away anything from her or the album's artistic integrity. Rap doesn't automatically devalue art. Personally, in my opinion, if the rap artist in question is good at what he or she does, it elevates it.

I'm aware that it wouldn't be easy but it's not an impossible feat. "Style" is already top ten on both iTunes and radio without having received any promotion. So it's not like the 6 million people (if that's the correct number) who have bought her album are the only people purchasing music... there are millions of other casual listeners that are willing to buy the single. All three singles are in the Top 20... I'm sure any future single releases will do just fine.

I'm not saying that Taylor shouldn't do a song with a rapper in the future. I just think that if she really wants to achieve the record she'll try to do it by avoiding the supposed cheap tactics we've been discussing. That's all I'm trying to get at... and I've already stated that I think it's entirely possible for her to do so.

If Taylor is going to get 6 #1 singles, she is going to have to pull out some tricks. A Bad Blood remix with Kanye would be genius and could easily get her a #1. With the number of albums she has sold so far, most people who would buy her music have already bought it. Not to mention, a number of her songs that have not been released (Bad Blood, Out of the Woods) have already received a decent number of sales. Her singles will still get a decent number of downloads, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to push them to #1, especially without having streaming advantage (excluding music videos). I would love to see Taylor at least tie Katy's record, so I'm all for whatever tricks her team has up their sleeves.

Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson are giving shade stares from heaven to all those claiming consecutive #1 records are made by cheap gimmicks/selling out.

I'm not in the least surprised that Kanye and Taylor "kissed and made up." I think their beef was about as real as Taylor's relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal and...Taylor Lautner.

Kanye is just an extreme Beyonce stan, that's all that is. Once you realize that he is basically the Beyhive's spirit animal, you see that him interrupting people on Bey's behalf shouldn't be taken personally or even viewed as beef, really.
Looking forward to this potential Bad Blood remix!

Times are way different now, especially with streaming (which Taylor only has on YouTube.) She's at a disadvantage since the whole Spotify debacle. She needs to get creative if they want her singles to go #1, which, I honestly doubt they care that much for, but...you know, it's always in the cards. I don't think it's "selling out" at all.

Back when Whitney/Michael were hitting number 1, the charts were not nearly as accurate (pre-soundscan/pre-BDS). Additionally, airplay was only Pop, while all sales counted. But it was all self-reporting - stations submitted playlists that did not represent actual plays, etc. And, honestly, I don't see what is wrong with artists/labels using whatever legal tools are available to get a #1. It's not like Taylor's songs aren't big hits anyway - plus she selling albums. It's also a non-issue, if she had 4 or 5 #1s from 1989 already, then it becomes relevant. Plus - I love this story about Taylor and giving advice to a fan - Taylor really IS different and it's stories like these that certainly distinguish her from the pack www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2949777/Taylor-Swift-gives-heartbroken-fan-breakup-advice-Tumblr-boyfriend-dumped-text.html

I should have clarified.
With streaming, it should be easier to set consecutive #1 records without resorting to discounts and remixes. That's what makes Whitney and Michael's all the more impressive.

Considering Whitney Houston has the longest string of #1s at seven. Spreading it across two albums also helped. That's the only way I could see someone beating Whitney's record - if they managed to get 5 #1's like Katy & Teenage Dream and then ended the album campaign and took the first three singles from the next to #1.

My ONLY hope for the 1989 tour is that she continues to have one emotional moment on the piano. It's become sort of a tradition for her tour to have a piano section and it's honestly one of my favorite parts of the tour. My fear is that she's losing it for the 1989 tour because it'll be more Pop*~ but...this performance right here was seriously one of my favorites, most vulnerable experiences I've ever had at a concert.
I'm not here for that new 80s keyboard shit she's been doing with Love Story. I want actual piano, with actual emotion. Ya feel me?
