The Tweet that Changed Taylor Swift’s Music Career Forever: How Kelly Clarkson’s Suggestion Led to a Major Shift

The Power of a Tweet: How Kelly Clarkson Changed Taylor Swift’s Music Career Forever

In the world of music, one tweet can make all the difference. This was certainly the case for Taylor Swift, whose entire music career took a different turn thanks to a suggestion from American Idol star Kelly Clarkson.

It all started back in 2019, when celebrity manager Scooter Braun and record executive Scott Borchetta gained ownership of all of Taylor’s masters. This meant that Taylor no longer owned the rights to her own songs after her record label was bought out.

Feeling helpless, Taylor took to Twitter to express her frustration, but it was Kelly Clarkson’s tweet that truly changed everything. Clarkson suggested that Taylor should re-record all the songs she no longer owned the masters to, but with a twist – adding new art and incentives for fans to buy the new versions.

Taking Clarkson’s advice to heart, Taylor went on to re-record her previous albums, including Red, 1989, Speak Now, and Fearless. Each re-recorded album came with surprise added tracks and collaborations with various artists.

Not only did Kelly’s idea lead to these new albums, but it also sparked Taylor’s desire to embark on the Eras Tour, celebrating every album she has released. The tour has already become the highest-grossing tour of all time, making Taylor a billionaire in the process.

Kelly Clarkson’s support didn’t stop there – she revealed that she sends Taylor flowers every time she releases a new re-recording as a thank you. With only her debut album and Reputation left to re-record, it’s clear that Taylor’s music career has been forever changed by one tweet.
