Kelly Clarkson is taking her Brooklyn shopping controversy all the way to the bank.
The singer got into a back
and forth over the weekend with Brooklyn Heights design shop, Art of Play, after accusing them of refusing to sell her a musical bird named Molly. Clarkson compared her experience to one Julia Roberts’ sex worker character encounters in Pretty Woman, saying the staff was dismissive when she was interested in making a big purchase.
Art of Play claimed that Clarkson had wanted to purchase a piece that wasn’t for sale. Online photos, however, later confirmed the sculpture had a price tag of $15,000. “You’re not only rude, you’re also a liar,” Clarkson replied in response.
What started as a “he said, she said” has now become a “he said, she said, he said,” with Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin continuing to speak out against Clarkson online. In an interview with Rolling StoneWednesday, Rubin says Clarkson’s posts online have led to a swarm of negative attention on his small business. “Kelly Clarkson knew that she was lighting that fuse when she decided to use her fame and wealth on a public platform to try to destroy our business,” he told us. “She chose to do it anyway.”
Clarkson hasn’t responded to Rubin’s latest interviews, and she may not need to. After all, the “I Don’t Think About You” singer has her own home decor line that she can shop from, with a couple of bird-themed pieces at a much more affordable price point.
The items are part of the singer’s Kelly Clarkson collection of furniture and home goods at Wayfair, and have just dropped as part of her holiday capsule.
SET OF SIX
Brushed Metal Bird Ornament Set
This ornament set is part of Clarkson’s official 2026 holiday collection and it features six elegant birds, hand-sculpted from brushed metal. Each bird has a slightly different design, while the silver tone finish gives a vintage look that evokes Christmas ornaments passed down through generations.
Each bird ornament measures approximately 3.5 inches in size and comes with a ribbon for easy hanging. It’s a great pickup for your Christmas tree or as accent pieces for your entryway, bookcases, or tied to your door knobs or cabinets.

Motion Activated Singing Couple Budgerigar on Stump
Wayfair also sells this singing bird set on its website. This pair of colorful Budgerigars (a.k.a. a parakeet or budgie) “sings” when it detects motion. The highly-detailed birds make a realistic chirping sound just like they do in nature, offering a cool conversation starter for your space. The polyresin birds are weather-resistant, too, so you can have them displayed outdoors.
MUSICAL BIRDCAGE
HWD Voice-Activated Mini Birdcage Toy Birds
Want something cheap and cheerful? Amazon says this motion-activated bird set, which chirps and flutters its wings, head and tail when it hears a clap or noise. The birdcage measures approximately 6.3 inches in height and runs on three AAA batteries (not included).
We like this as a white elephant gift or as a fun pickup for your room or office. Amazon has different colored birds available to choose from online.
