FYI: Even though neither Jennette nor Ariana are contracted to Columbia, that would not preclude them appearing on a recording together for Columbia. There would be negotiations with other rights holders for their music, but it could work if everyone were committed to making it work. For instance, The Beatles were contracted to EMI, but that didn't prevent United Artists from releasing the soundtrack to A Hard Day's Night. If something can be worked out for The Beatles, it can be worked out for anybody.

With a song like this, Nick would be committed to promoting their joint songs on the label, so it would help make up for the gaffes Nick had committed previously with Jennette. Moreover, if Jennette has a hit song together with Ariana on the network, maybe Nick doesn't rig the KCAs. Maybe Jennette feels like she finally broke out of the "sidekick" mould and carved out her own niche. Maybe Jennette and Ariana find a mutually acceptable modus vivendi. And, hence, we aren't where we are today.
