Ryan Tedder Speaks Out About Working With Kelly Clarkson

Ryan Tedder, who wrote Kelly Clarskon’s current hit single ‘Already Gone’, is speaking out about working with Clarkson. Following the backlash he received after being accused of shopping the same track to Beyoncé and Clarkson, Tedder isn’t so quick to say he’s work with Clarkson again any time soon. As you may recall, Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ sounds very similar to Clarkson’s ‘Already Gone’.

Tedder says –

“Man, I haven’t talked to her, to be honest, since that went down. She has my email. Her attorney or somebody from her camp told somebody from my camp that she’s willing to work with me again. I was like, oh, thank you. I mean, I’m looking at your song right now and it’s #1 for the fourth week on Hot AC, so I’m sorry that I helped with that. I was absolutely livid when that whole thing came out because she had no idea what she was talking about when she said that. Somebody got up in her ear, and she got a bug in her ear. It was how she said it and how she worded it. If I was going around and selling the same track to the biggest artists in the world, how long would my career last? It’s ludicrous. And she knows me well enough to know I’m not an idiot. I’m not the kinda guy who’s gonna bust my ass for ten years to try and pull a fast one on Beyonce or Kelly.”

Ryan then continued, insisting that he actually prefers ‘Already Gone’ over Beyonce’s hit ‘Halo’.

“I’m no longer mad about the situation at all. ‘Already Gone’ has just about done as well in America as ‘Halo’ did. She literally wanted to sabotage the song. I’m happy that it saw the light of day, because I actually liked “Already Gone” more than “Halo.” I connect with it more. It gave me goose bumps. I’ve watched girls I’ve played the song for cry. It’s just an emotional, heartbreaking breakup song. I always liked it more than ‘Halo’.”

The One Republic frontman then hinted that he may never work with Clarkson again.

“As far as working with her in the future, I would—but I don’t know, man. It really is tough to say. I like Kelly a lot. I have nothing but amazing stuff to say about her. Her album just got nominated for Pop Album Of The Year, and I like to think I contributed somewhat with that. She’s the easiest person to work with in the studio, and all these other great superlatives. But having said that, it’s like, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. And I just don’t know that I wanna venture—I don’t wanna get some crazy-ass backlash or get my head snapped off for writing a hit song. I do wish her the best, and if we work together in the future, then I will be a happy camper about it and let bygones be bygones.”
