Whether you like it or not, Kelly Clarkson has a big personality. She's not scared to speak out on controversial issues or speak her mind in general. We respect it! Whether it's clapping back at the body-shamers or defending the rights of women to write and produce the kind of music they want to record, Kelly uses her voice for much more than singing.
Her fateful American Idol win launched her from a no-name Southern girl, sleeping in her car, to a multi-millionaire with more than 25 million copies of her albums sold to date, according to Billboard. It had everything to do with the fact that she made a great record and she's got an incredible voice. She's not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her.
In the years since her rise to fame, Kelly has collected an impressive selection of famous friends, but not everyone sings her praises as highly as Simon does. Read on for our list of stars who count themselves among her closest friends, plus six celebs who actually can't stand her.
Blake and Kelly have a lot in common. For one, they costar on The Voice. Kelly's husband Brandon Blackstock also happens to be Blake's long-time manager, according to People. They've been friends off-screen for so long that Kelly considers Blake to be like family. This fall, Kelly took her career to new heights as the host of her own daytime talk show on NBC. The Kelly Clarkson Show features Kelly chatting with various celebrities. Some of the earliest guests were people Kelly considered personal friends, and Hayley is one of those people.
The two shared their joint passion for self-confidence with fans You might not picture these two being close, but they're part of the same main friend group, which is made up of Hollywood A-listers.
Here they are at an Indy race this past year, with their respective spouses. Kelly shared this snap to her IG. In the caption for it, she called out one of their mutual friends, Remember him? Clay was a runner-up on the second season of Idol and then had arguably more success in the singing business than the winner of that season, Ruben Studdard. Kelly and Clay toured together in , and she told Newsweek they remain friends today. In spite of the immediate popularity of The Kelly Clarkson Show , there are a few elements that have slightly annoyed fans.
Clarkson is well known for her bright, bubbly personality, and loves to chat with her guests. Even if Clarkson does tend to talk a lot, that is part of her style and one reason why most of her fans love her so much. Still, to draw in as many viewers as possible, Clarkson might have to moderate her interviewing style a bit for future episodes and give her guests slightly more opportunities to speak. As the months go on, and Clarkson continues to hone her craft, she will probably learn the finer points of listening more than talking.
Clarkson's circumstances were actually quite dire at the time, too, as she'd run into some pretty bad luck. Given her insanely humble origins, Clarkson still pinches herself sometimes when she thinks about where she's ended up.
After winning American Idol , Kelly Clarkson was signed to a record deal, and she worked with some of the most bigwig producers in the entire entertainment industry. Unfortunately, some of them weren't exactly the kindest of people, as they told her that her songwriting was subpar.
Fortunately, Clarkson ended up winning that battle, without having to do anything other than be herself. Clearly, the joke was on Davis, as Clarkson had the songwriting skills to pay the bills. It's no secret that with great fame comes a lot of wonderful things, like money, admiration, and the power to have your voice heard. However, on the flip side, it also comes with intense public scrutiny for everything that you do.
That's something that Kelly Clarkson learned firsthand, as plenty of folks were picking her apart after she became a celeb. Fortunately, by the time Clarkson reached her 30s, she'd learned to adjust, and had grown a thicker skin.
To that end, she was going to be herself in every way — musically, physically, and emotionally — and let the haters be damned. While Kelly Clarkson has always been beautiful, inside and out, fans of hers can tell you that in her early days of fame, she was quite slender.
But what you might not have known was that at that time, Clarkson wasn't doing well at all. Staying so thin had some pretty negative impacts on Clarkson's body, too. To be clear, Clarkson wasn't miserable because she had to be skinny — quite the opposite, in fact.
Just as Kelly Clarkson's body was the subject of public scrutiny when she was super slender, so too have plenty of folks had something to say when she put on some weight. Most notably, Fox News host Chris Wallace once implored Clarkson to "stay off the deep-dish pizza for a little while," as noted by The Hollywood Reporter. Um, yikes. But Clarkson is a human being just like the rest of us, and she knows that her weight fluctuates.
They just care about aesthetics. To that end, just as Clarkson made her peace with her family situation, she's made peace with her body in all of its wonderful forms. Louder again for the people in the back!
When Kelly Clarkson married her now ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in an idyllic outdoor wedding in , she looked happier than she ever had.
But of course, the tabloids couldn't help but try to chip away at Clarkson's wedded bliss. Specifically, The Dirty managed to find sources who said they'd been with Blackstock behind his wife's back.
That's not all, either, as another woman claimed to have been seriously intimate with Blackstock as well.
