Over the weekend, Kelly Clarkson tweeted that Taylor Swift should "re-record all the songs that [Taylor] don't own the masters on" and every media outlet has picked it up as a story. Of course, everyone is bringing up Jojo again, but not explaining the context of her re-records in comparison to Taylor: Jojo's albums weren't available to stream because her label was incompetent, while Taylor's albums are all currently available on Spotify and Apple Music, and Big Machine has no reason to pull them.
@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. I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼♀️

Taylor also 'liked' a tweet from Nancy Sinatra about advice her Dad gave her, while encouraging Taylor to fight for the masters she willfully walked away from and now has no legal right to:
@taylorswift13 Hi Taylor. My dad gave me three pieces of advice I have always lived by: "Be aware." "Don't despair." And "Own your own masters." I'm glad you are fighting for yours. WIN.
