The music executive purchased the scenic property in Butte, Montana, in 2022, and public records list it as Jones' residence as early as April 2024.

Brittney Marie Jones — who was identified in Blackstock's obituary as his "partner in life and business" — worked as Clarkson's production assistant in Nashville from 2016 to 2018, according to her LinkedIn.

Clarkson's name was not mentioned anywhere in the lengthy obituary, though it did include mention of her and Blackstock's two children.
