A source tells the paper, “Taylor‘s parents are incredibly difficult to deal with. Their expectations are enormous, and they are very hard to please. They want to pay as little as possible and treat people like s�t, because they think those people are lucky to have the chance to work with a superstar like Taylor.”

They added, “Taylor‘s parents think they can do things better, and what makes things complicated is that they no longer live together.” Eek!
