Kelly Clarkson clashes with Brooklyn shop over $15K singing bird

musicOct 11, 202632277

Kelly Clarkson publicly clashed with Brooklyn shop Art of Play after trying to buy a $15,000 singing bird automaton named Molly. Clarkson wrote that employees gave her a condescending, Pretty Woman style look when she asked the price and offered to "find something comparable" instead, calling the staff "an idiot" and saying the shop "just lost a huge sale." Art of Play replied that Molly is permanently attached to the wall and is not for sale, and said the shop was surprised to be attacked by millions of outsiders while it tries to clarify the situation. Clarkson responded with a detailed rebuttal, saying she had pointed to a price tag labeled Singing Bird and that staff had told her it cost $15,000 before claiming it was not for sale, and she called the owner a "liar." The exchange remains unresolved, with the store saying it hopes to clear things up with Clarkson and Clarkson doubling down on her account. There is no public agreement between the two parties about what actually happened in the store.

something tells me that the $15,000 price tag is maybe not a genuine article advertising a sale

There are apparently a number of “not for sale” posts and sundries

I'm sorry Kelly Clarkson is feuding with a magic shop?

That said my conspiracy theory is that this is all a long con for her to do karaoke at Montero’s

@hannahburner.bsky.social

My confusion re: the Kelly Clarkson story is not that she’s lying but how is there anyone in America, much less BROOKLYN, that doesn’t know who she is

Kelly Clarkson is in the middle of social media beef over a bird. A bird automata named Molly that she wanted to purchase. She claims the store in which Molly resides did a ‘Pretty Woman’ to her and missed a big sale. Huge.

In many ways this is the clearest sign of a midterms Blue Wave this is 2014 Twitter drama

@stayathomecommie.bsky.social

even if someone in the store was rude to her or didn't assume she could afford some $15k bird, the fact that she posted about it is embarrassing and pathetic. oh no someone working in retail was possibly rude. you will be fine kelly clarkson!

welcome 2 my skinner box

@heysawbones.bsky.social

Somehow, I’ve become exposed to this drama about a store in Brooklyn not selling Kelly Clarkson an animatronic bird. It’s so (theoretically) inconsequential. I wish more of the drama happening in Year of Our Lord 2026 was like this. I have not really enjoyed living in exiting times

I’m sorry but this whole Kelly Clarkson drama is very much welcomed. This feels like Woke 1.0. This feels like 2015 Twitter. This feels like #freethenipple. This is exactly what social media should be used for
