Taylor Swift thanks Kelly Clarkson!
The ‘Since U Been Gone’ singer, 41, revealed why she gets flowers from Taylor, 33, every time her new album ‘Taylor’s Version’ comes out.
After the fourth of six planned re-recordings (Taylor’s version) had just been released in 1989, Taylor decided to contact Kelly.
“You know what’s so funny? She just sent me flowers,” Kelly told E! News. “She’s so nice. She did. She was like, ‘Every time I release something’—’cause she just did 1989. I got that really cute cardigan, too.”
In a 2019 tweet, Kelly advised Taylor to re-record her music after Scooter Braun acquired the rights to her master recordings.
But Kelly wasn’t shy about giving Taylor credit for the re-recording, admitting that the “Lavender Haze” singer came up with the idea herself.
“I love how kind she is though,” Kelly added. “She’s a very smart businesswoman. So, she would have thought of that. But it just sucks when you see artists that you admire and you respect really wanting something and it’s special to them. You know if they’re going to find a loophole, you find a loophole. And she did it and literally is, like, the best-selling artist I feel like of all-time now.”
Kelly also expressed her admiration for Taylor and her favorite Swifty.
“It’s so cool to see a fanbase really get behind her in that too because it’s important,” she said. “She’s known for being such an incredible songwriter and the soundtrack to a lot of people’s lives and that’s her life. So, you should have the option of owning that.”
If you haven’t seen it yet: Kelly Clarkson recently responded to accusations that she “settled” Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance.
