‘Dance Moms’ Kendall Vertes Releases New Music Video, Spills Details Behind Abby Lee Miller Firing
Kendall Vertes a.k.a. Kendall K is releasing a new music video for her new song titled "Where Would I Be Without You" after firing Abby Lee Miller as her music manager. The track is a follow-up to Kendall's "Wear 'Em Out" single, which was released in April 2015.
"Dance Moms" Season 6 revealed that Kendall and her mother, Jill Vertes, fired Miller after she refused to release the dancer's album. Kendall revealed that she spent a "long time" and a "lot of work" recording the album in California over the summer, but it went to waste when the ALDC coach decided to hold it back.
Kendall and her mom were confused as to why Miller didn't want to release the 14-year-old's album, given that the dancing coach was the one who encouraged her music career in the first place. Kendall revealed that Miller introduced her to singing lessons and worked on releasing her successful track titled "Wear 'Em Out."
Kendall's single surpassed Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" on the iTunes music video charts in June 2015. As of late, "Wear 'Em Out" has more than 13.5 million views on YouTube. Watch it here.
Hope to see you on Saturday, it's going to be a fun time!! #season7 #aldc #dancemoms

When it became clear that Miller has no plans of releasing Kendall's album, she and her mom fired Miller and went to look for a new music manager. Now, Kendall has no regrets about leaving Miller behind.
She is convinced that she made the right decision even though the firing stirred tension on the "Dance Moms" set and made Miller "a little sad." Kendall, however, feels that Miller deserves being sad because she refused to release her album. Kendall also chose to move on from her unreleased album because her voice sounded "very different" back then and it wouldn't make sense to launch it now.
Despite ending their music partnership with Miller, Kendall and Jill still want to study dance under the ALDC coach. However, Jill is worried that Kendall's future on "Dance Moms" would get compromised after Miller announced that she's cutting the team to form one super group and catapult ALDC back to its glory days.
Miller is also stirring up rivalry between the girls on "Dance Moms." Kendall is currently being geared to compete with Brynn Rumfallo, which made Jill anxious because she's not into rivalries.
