During an interview on Thursday, Kelly Clarkson opened up about why Taylor Swift marks each of her new recordings by sending flowers.
The Kelly Clarkson Show host revealed this on Thursday during an E! News interview that the “Anti-Hero” megastar recently sent her flowers following her 1989 release (Taylor’s version). “You know what’s so funny? She just sent me flowers,” Clarkson shared. “She’s so nice. She did. She was like, ‘Every time I release something’ – because she just did it in 1989. I also got this really cute cardigan.”
As many Swifties know, Kelly proposed in 2019 in a tweet that Swift had re-recorded her music after Scooter Braun’s company Ithaca Holdings acquired Swift’s original masters from Big Machine. Since then, Swift has re-recorded albums from her Braun catalog and has so far released 1989’s Taylor’s Version, Fearless, Red and Speak Now – all of which debuted at number one on the Billboard Albums chart.

@taylorswift13 Just a thought: You should re-record any songs that you don’t own the masters of exactly as you did them, but add brand new art and some sort of incentive so that fans stop buying the old versions. I would buy all new versions just to prove it 💁🏼♀️

Clarkson also added that regardless of the 2019 tweet, Swift would have come up with the idea of her re-recordings at some point. “But I love how nice she is,” the American Idol album says. “She is a very smart businesswoman. So she would have thought of that. But it just sucks when you see artists that you admire and that you respect and they really want something and it’s special to them. They know that if they find a loophole, then you will find a loophole. And she did it and is literally the best-selling artist of all time.”
