Kelly Clarkson has recently discussed a tweet she sent in 2019, in which she suggested that Taylor Swift re-record her old albums. Clarkson believes that this tweet may have offended Scooter Braun, who had purchased Swift’s former record label and become the owner of her master recordings. Prior to the sale, Swift had been trying to buy back her masters, but her attempts were refused by label founder Scott Borchetta before Braun acquired the company. Shortly after Clarkson’s tweet, Swift ended up re-recording albums for which she didn’t own the masters.
During an interview on Andy Cohen’s Sirius XM radio show, Clarkson revealed that she ran into Braun after sending the tweet and believed that he took offense to it. Clarkson clarified that the tweet was not directed against Braun but was simply a response to Swift’s statement about her albums. Clarkson expressed her belief that Swift’s fans would support her if she chose to re-record her music, which ultimately proved to be true. When asked about Braun’s response, Clarkson stated that he didn’t say anything directly to her but may have contacted her manager.
Clarkson admitted that she didn’t have all the information about the ownership rights at the time of her tweet and didn’t realize it could be seen as an attack on Braun. She emphasized that owning her own music is important to Swift, who writes all of her songs. Clarkson also noted that it felt wrong for Swift not to have the opportunity to own her work and praised her as a talented businesswoman.
In addition, Clarkson revealed that she personally doesn’t have a strong desire to own her masters and doesn’t consider herself a businesswoman. She commended Swift for her decision to re-record her albums and praised her intelligence and planning, particularly in relation to her Eras tour. When asked if Swift had thanked her for the suggestion, Clarkson admitted that she hadn’t and believed that Swift would have had the idea on her own.
Overall, Clarkson’s tweet and subsequent discussion shed light on the complex dynamics of ownership in the music industry and the importance artists place on owning their own work.
