While reports of Scott and Andrea Swift's separation only surfaced in 2012, their marital problems apparently began long before that. In an interview with New York Daily News, Ronnie Cremer, the man who claims to have taught Taylor Swift how to play the guitar (and interestingly, helped build her first website), divulged that the pair had a loveless marriage even before the "Cruel Summer" singer became famous.
"They didn't have a good relationship, the mother and father," Cremer claimed. "(Scott) used to tell me... 'I got a wife that doesn't love me. I'm trying to help my daughter out, and do all the right things, and my wife could care less.'" While these insinuations were never confirmed by any of the Swifts, some purported insider info affirmed them. A source told The Star in 2012 that Scott and Andrea, who wed in 1988, had already given up on their marriage, but decided to keep it on the down-low so as not to damage Taylor's reputation. "The Swifts stopped wearing their wedding rings," they noted (via Radar Online). "They haven't filed for divorce because they don't want it to damage Taylor's career... Andrea being on tour with Taylor full-time has really been hard on her relationship with Scott."
Two years later, the two appeared to still be at a crossroads. A report from Page Six claimed that they often butted heads, especially regarding Taylor's career. "They are not on the same page and don't even like to be in the same room," a source divulged. "Andrea requests that her husband not be present at meetings."
