Back throughout the 2019 fight over masters in between Taylor Swift as well as Scooter Braun, Kelly Clarkson required to Twitter to recommend that the pop super star re-record the cds she doesn’t have.
“@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions,” she wrote at the time, as well as in a brand-new SiriusXM meeting on Thursday (June 23), Clarkson reviewed her four-year-old tweet.
“I think Scooter took offense to it … we ran into each other, and he reached out at the time to my manager,” she informed host Andy Cohen. “I was like, ‘It wasn’t anything against him.’ When she came out and said that and I heard about it, I was like, ‘Whatever. Re-record them. Your fans will support you.’ Uh, they did! She has like every top record right now in the charts!”
She included that at the time, she didn’t recognize much concerning the scenario in which Braun obtained Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Records Label Group as well as Swift’s catalog for $300 million. Braun later sold Swift’s masters in 2020, motivating Swift to start the procedure of re-recording her initial 6 Big Machine cds. “All I heard was, ‘Man, I really want to own.’ […] She writes everything! It’s so important to her. She’s a businesswoman,” Clarkson claimed. “It felt wrong that she didn’t have the opportunity, right? That’s the thing. If you have the opportunity and you choose to not pay that much money, that’s one thing, but to not have the opportunity to own something that is really important to you — I’m not that artist. I don’t care like what I own. I’m not a businesswoman at all.”
Clarkson ended by keeping in mind that Swift is a “genius,” not just for re-recording her cds yet likewise for establishing out on her enormous The Eras excursion. When asked if she was “thanked” by Swift for her concept, Clarkson responded, “I think she is brilliant. She would’ve come up with that on her own and she maybe already had before I even tweeted it.”
