Taylor Swift Sends Kelly Clarkson Gifts for Each Re-Recorded Album Release
Swift's gesture of appreciation follows Clarkson's 2019 suggestion to re-record her songs, leading to record-breaking sales for '1989 (Taylor's Version)'.
- Taylor Swift sends Kelly Clarkson flowers and other gifts after each re-recorded album release as a token of appreciation.
- The gesture dates back to 2019 when Clarkson suggested via a tweet that Swift should re-record her songs after Scooter Braun purchased the rights to her first six albums' masters.
- Swift has since re-recorded and released four of her six original albums, with each one debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
- Swift's re-recorded album '1989 (Taylor's Version)' broke her own record, selling 1.6 million units in the U.S. and over 3.5 million units worldwide in its first week alone.
- Clarkson believes Swift would have come up with the idea to re-record her albums on her own, praising her as a 'very smart businesswoman' and admiring her for finding a loophole to regain ownership of her music.
