Taylor Swift's Tribute to the Original Brainchild Behind Her Album Reissues: Kelly Clarkson

As the music world buzzes about Taylor Swift's mission to re-record her iconic albums, many might not recall that the genius proposal for this endeavor traces back to none other than Kelly Clarkson. Swift's dedication to reclaiming her music has already led to a “Taylor’s Version” for four classic albums, with two more re-recordings on the horizon.

In a bold move stemming from 2019, Swift expressed her frustration after contentious dealings with music manager Scooter Braun, who acquired her previous label, along with the masters of her early works. This situation prompted a supportive suggestion from Clarkson, effectively planting the seed for Swift’s current re-recording project.

Kelly Clarkson's Original Proposal

Clarkson reached out on Twitter, directly advising Taylor – "Just a thought, [you] should go in and re-record all the songs that [you] don't own the masters on exactly how [you] did them, but put brand new art and some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions." She confidently added, “I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point ‍♀️"

Swift took this sage advice to heart, embarking on a journey that's brought us new versions of “Fearless”, “Red”, “Speak Now”, and “1989”, complete with bonus "from the vault" tracks never heard before.

Gratitude in Full Bloom

Clarkson revealed on E! News that Swift makes a gracious gesture with every album release, sending Clarkson flowers as a token of thanks. "She's so nice. She was like, 'Every time I release something', 'cause she just did 1989," Kelly shared, admiring Swift's kindness and shrewdness as a businesswoman.
