Kelly Clarkson expresses her support for Taylor Swift and offers advice as part of the ongoing controversy on Scooter Braun.

After learning that Music Director Braun had bought the masters from Swift's existing catalog, Clarkson advised Swift to re-record all his old songs, giving fans the option to pay Swift instead of Braun.

"Just a thought, U should re-record all the songs that U does not have the masters on exactly how U did them, but put all new art and some kind of motivation so that fans do not buy them anymore. older versions, "Clarkson tweeted in Swift the Saturday. "I would buy all new versions to prove a point."

Clarkson seems to allude to the difference between owning the masters, which means having the copyright on the original recordings and owning the rights to publish the songs, that is to say, the composition and the lyrics.

Last month, Braun had acquired Big Machine Records, the record label that had signed Swift at the age of 15. This deal will allow him to retain ownership of Swift's previous six albums, including his 2006 debut album and the edgy 2017 pop album "Reputation".

Swift said that she had already "made peace" with the idea that her work would eventually be sold, but with Braun at the helm, she is no longer comfortable.

"Never in my worst nightmares I would have imagined that the buyer would be a scooter," she wrote. "Every time Scott Borchetta heard the words" Scooter Braun "escaping from my lips, it was when I cried or I tried not to do it. knew what he was doing, they both knew it, controlling a woman who did not want to be associated with them, forever, that means forever. "

Swift moved last year from Big Machine to Universal Music Group, which will release his next album "Lover". She said she's happy to be now "signed onto a label that believes I should own everything I create."

"Fortunately, I left my past in Scott's hands and not my future," wrote Swift. "And I hope that young artists or children who dream of music will read this and learn how to better protect themselves during a negotiation.You deserve to own the art you do."
