The Tweet that Changed Taylor Swift’s Music Career Forever

Taylor Swift’s music career has taken a remarkable turn thanks to one pivotal tweet from Kelly Clarkson. The American Idol star’s suggestion to re-record all the songs that Taylor no longer owned the masters to has not only transformed Taylor’s discography but also catapulted her to new heights of success.

In 2019, Taylor found herself without ownership of her own songs when celebrity manager Scooter Braun and record executive Scott Borchetta acquired her record label, taking control of all her masters. Feeling helpless, Taylor turned to her fans for support, expressing her frustration in a heartfelt tweet.

It was Kelly Clarkson’s tweet that sparked a revolutionary idea in Taylor’s mind. Kelly proposed that Taylor re-record her past albums exactly how she did them before, but with new artwork and incentives for fans to buy the new versions instead of the old ones. This suggestion resonated with Taylor, leading her to create ‘Taylor’s version’ of her albums, complete with bonus tracks from ‘The Vault’.

The re-recorded albums not only allowed Taylor to regain control of her music but also inspired her to embark on the Eras Tour, celebrating all her albums. The tour has been a massive success, becoming the highest-grossing tour of all time and propelling Taylor to billionaire status.

Kelly Clarkson revealed that Taylor sends her flowers every time she releases a new re-recording as a token of gratitude. With only her debut album and Reputation left to re-record, Taylor’s journey to reclaiming her music and legacy is far from over.
