In a recent interview, the 'Kelly Clarkson Show' host shared her excitement about the touching gifts she receives from Taylor whenever the songstress releases a new album.
"You know what’s so funny? She just sent me flowers," Clarkson exclaimed with a smile. "She’s so nice. She was like, 'Every time I release something' — 'cause she just did '1989,' I got that really cute cardigan too. I love how kind she is," E! reports.
The exchange between these talented artists goes beyond simple acts of generosity, with Clarkson acknowledging Taylor's shrewd business acumen in reclaiming her music.

“You know if they’re going to find a loophole, you find a loophole,” Clarkson explained. “And she did it and literally is, like, the best-selling artist I feel like of all-time now.”
Clarkson's admiration for Taylor's resilience and ingenuity has been well-documented over the years. She was one of the first individuals to suggest that Taylor re-record her music after Braun purchased Taylor's former record label, Big Machine Records, along with her entire music catalog in 2019.
“@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions,” Clarkson tweeted in July 2019. “I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼♀️.”
